No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical external fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is used for external fixation of bone fractures and correction of bone/soft tissue defects, which are conditions requiring therapeutic intervention.
No
The device description indicates it is a system used for external fixation of long bone fractures and correction of defects/deformities, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "External Fixation System" consisting of physical components like frames, bars, and pins, which are hardware.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- TempFix System Function: The TempFix External Fixation System is a surgical device used to physically stabilize bone fractures and correct deformities. It is applied externally to the body and does not involve the analysis of bodily specimens.
The provided information clearly describes a mechanical device for orthopedic use, not a diagnostic test performed on samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TempFix External Fixation System is indicated for: external fixation of open or closed long bone fractures and correction of bony or soft tissue defects or deformities.
When used without adjunctive support, the TempFix External Fixation System is intended to be non-weight bearing.
The TempFix External Fixation System is MR safe when specific guidelines are followed relative to the use of 1.5-Tesla MR systems, only.

Device Description
The TempFix External Fixation System consists of components that can be assembled to provide multiple degrees of freedom for positioning implantable threaded fixation pins on either side of a fracture or deformity. The unique frame materials provide radiolucent viewing of the fracture and are lightweight for patient comfort. The components are preassembled in kits with three basic frame configurations: a knee frame, a half pin ankle frame, a 400 mm bar, and a transfixing pin ankle frame. Each kit is provided in sterile and non-sterile versions.

§ 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.
