No
The summary describes a simple surgical wire and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is a surgical wire used for approximation, ligation, and repair of tissues, which is an interventional device rather than a therapeutic device that treats a disease or condition.

No
The device description indicates it is a surgical wire for soft tissue approximation and ligation, which are therapeutic or reparative procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical surgical wire with an attached barb and needle, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "surgical wire" intended for "soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, for canthoplasty, canthopexy and/or canthal tendon repair." This describes a device used within the body during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, laboratory testing, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the Synthes Titanium Wire is a surgical device used for internal fixation and repair, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
