The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as an external fixator frame used for the treatment of fractures, which is a therapeutic function.
No
This device is an external fixation system used for treating bone fractures, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines a system of physical components (clamps, rods, screws) used to construct an external fixator frame, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Description: The Synthes Medium External Fixation System is a system of components used to build a frame that is applied externally to a patient's limb to stabilize fractures. It is a surgical/orthopedic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "treatment of pediatric and adult fractures," which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
The device is used on the patient's body for treatment, not for testing samples from the patient's body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Intended for use in the construction of an external fixator frame for the treatment of pediatric and adult fractures.

Device Description
Synthes Medium External Fixation System - MR Safe is a system of components that form a construct intended to treat stable and unstable fractures. Frame components designed for this system are the Medium Multi-Pin Clamps (four / six position) - MR Safe, the Medium Combination Clamp - MR Safe, the 8.0 mm/11.0 mm Combination Clamp - MR Safe and the Medium Open Adjustable Clamp - MR Safe. Also included in this MR Safe system are the Medium Dynamization Clip and Medium Rod Attachment, which are accessories to the Combination and Multi-Pin Clamps, respectively. These clamp accessories allow dynamization during bone healing and double stacking of the frame. The system accepts Synthes 8.0 mm carbon fiber rods (in lengths from 100 - 500 mm) and Schanz screws (in diameters of 4.0 - 5.0 mm). All frame elements are made from non-magnetic materials and are intended for use in the MR environment.

§ 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.
