Intended Use
Aesculap's CranioFix and CranioFix2 System are intended for use in the fixation of cranioplasty plates, covering burr holes, and fixation of cranial fractures.
Device Description
The CranioFix and CranioFix2 Clamp System consist of sterile, titanium implants (Clamps) and associated manual instruments. The Clamps are available in three sizes: 11mm, 16mm, and 20mm. The clamp consists of two concave disks which are connected with a pin through the center. The pin is securely attached to the lower disk; the upper disk is loosely mounted onto the pin. Each disk has rows of teeth extending along the edge of the concave side. The disks are mounted onto the pin with the teeth of each one facing the teeth of the other. The disks of the CranioFix Titanium Clamp (11mm) are solid (no drainage holes). The disks of the CranioFix Titanium Clamp (16mm and 20mm) have open areas for drainage. The CranioFix2 Titanium Clamp (11mm, 16mm, and 20mm) have a sleeve securely attached on the end of the pin. During the fixation, the lower disk comes to rest against the inner surface of the cranium and the upper disk comes to rest against the outer surface of the cranium.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical fixation using titanium implants and manual instruments, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the fixation of cranioplasty plates and cranial fractures, which are medical treatments for an injury or disease, thus classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a system for the fixation of cranioplasty plates, covering burr holes, and fixation of cranial fractures. Its function is to hold things in place rather than to identify or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of sterile, titanium implants (Clamps) and associated manual instruments, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fixation of cranioplasty plates, covering burr holes, and fixation of cranial fractures." This describes a surgical procedure involving the physical repair and stabilization of the skull.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "sterile, titanium implants (Clamps) and associated manual instruments." These are physical devices used for mechanical fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The description of the CranioFix and CranioFix2 System does not involve any testing of biological samples.

The device is a surgical implant used for structural support and fixation within the body, which is not the function of an IVD.
