Intended Use
Synthes RIA System is intended to clear the medullary canal of bone marrow and debris and to effectively size the medullary canal for the acceptance of an intramedullary implant or prosthesis; and to harvest finely morselized autogenous bone and bone marrow for any surgical procedure requiring bone graft to facilitate fusion and/or fill bone defects. These procedures include spinal fusion, joint arthrodesis, total joint replacement, fracture repair, nonunion, maxillofacial reconstruction, and tumor removal.
Device Description
Synthes RIA System is a flexible reaming device that consists of a series of disposable tube assemblies, disposable reamer heads, tube assemblies, drive shaft seals and reusable drive shafts. The device is designed for expedited reaming of the medullary canal in preparation for internal fixation. The RIA System is also designed to harvest bone and bone marrow. The free-rotating reamer head attaches to the distal end of the tube assembly. Ports in the manifold of the tube assembly allow simultaneous irrigation and aspiration through the tube assembly during the reaming process. Irrigating fluid is passed through the cannula of the drive shaft and reamer head and aspiration is drawn through ports of the retainer and aspiration tube. The RIA System is available in various lengths and diameters.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical reaming and bone harvesting, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as clearing and sizing the medullary canal for an implant/prosthesis, and harvesting bone/marrow for bone graft, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device description indicates its purpose is to clear the medullary canal, size it for implants, and harvest bone/bone marrow. These are all procedural functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including disposable tube assemblies, disposable reamer heads, tube assemblies, drive shaft seals, and reusable drive shafts.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used for preparing the medullary canal and harvesting bone and bone marrow within the body. This is an in vivo procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical reaming and aspiration system used during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue. The Synthes RIA System is a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.
