The provided text does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, image processing, or any other terms typically associated with AI/ML technologies in medical devices. The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended uses of an external fixation system.
Yes
The "Intended Use" clearly states its purpose for fusion, stabilization, correction of deformities, and management of fractures, all of which are directly aimed at treating medical conditions.
No
The device description and intended use indicate it is an orthopedic device used for fusion, stabilization, and correction of bone abnormalities and deformities, which are treatment functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Stealth Fusion System is an orthopedic device consisting of physical components like bone anchorage elements, bridge elements, and connection elements, which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for surgical procedures on bones and joints (fusion, fracture stabilization, deformity correction, etc.). This is a therapeutic and structural intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details an orthopedic external fixation system with components for bone anchorage, bridging, and connection. This aligns with a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.
Therefore, the Stealth Fusion System is an orthopedic surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Stealth Fusion System and its accessory components are intended to be used on adults or pediatric patients as required and are intended to be used for ankle and foot joints fusion; to stabilize fractures of foot bones; (open and closed); post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion; fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion and fractures requiring distraction; pseudoarthrosis or non-union of foot bones; correction of bony or soft tissue deformity; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue foot defects; joint arthrodesis; and management of comminuted intra-articular foot bone fractures.

Device Description
The Stealth Fusion System is an orthopedic device indicated for the use of bone fusion and other bone abnormalities and deformities. As with most external fixation devices, the standard Stealth Fusion System fixator assembly consists of three basic types of elements: 1) bone anchorage elements, 2) bridge elements, and 3) connection elements. The Stealth Fusion System design allows freedom of pin placement, ease of assembly and stable fixation of bone fragments with the possibility of axial loading of the lower extremity and immediate range of motion of all adjacent joints.

§ 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)
