Intended Use
The SLIM Gliding Nail System is an all-purpose locking nail system for ensuring primary load stability in: - Pertrochanteric femoral fractures . - Subtrochanteric femoral fractures and . - Lateral femoral neck fractures . Internal fixation with the SLIM Gliding Nail System is indicated in all combination injuries involving the lateral femoral neck or trochanter region and femoral shaft fractures. Thanks to its biomechanical characteristics, the SLIM Gliding Nail System is also suitable for medical femoral neck fractures with retention of the head and simple femoral shaft fractures down to the distal metaphysis. Gliding nail fixation can also be used to secure pathological fractures or to provide weight-bearing stability after varus and valgus revision osteotomies of the proximal femur.

More Information

No
The provided text describes a mechanical implant system for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a medical implant used to stabilize fractures, which helps in the healing process but does not directly "treat" a disease or condition in the same way a therapeutic device might through energy, substance, or non-invasive means. It provides mechanical support rather than active treatment.

No
The device is a system for internal fixation of femoral fractures, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly indicates a "Gliding Nail System," which is a physical implant used for internal fixation of bone fractures. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the SLIM Gliding Nail System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for fixing bone fractures in the femur. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a system for internal fixation of bone fractures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

The SLIM Gliding Nail System is a medical device used for surgical treatment, not for diagnosis.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
