Intended Use
The Hoffmann® II Micro" External Fixation System is intended for use to provide stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures in children and adults where soft tissue injury precludes the use of other fracture treatments such as IM rodding or other means of internal fixation and for use in reconstruction procedures in conjunction with commercially available Fixation Pins and/or Kirschner Wires. Specific indications include, but are not limited to: - Bone fracture fixation . - . Ostcotomy - . Arthrodesis - Correction of deformity . - Revision procedure where other treatments or devices have been unsuccessful . - Non-unions and delayed unions . - Compression/distraction and lengthening t
Device Description
This line extension is to add new components to the Hoffmann ® II Micro " External Fixation System. This component is an external fixation frame component and can be used with the components in other Howmedica Osteonics' external fixation systems such as the Hoffmann® II Micro" External Fixation System, Hoffmann® II External Fixation System, Hoffmann® II Compact™ External Fixation System, Hoffmann® II Hybrid Frame System, Monotube Triax™ External Fixation System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical external fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as an external fixation system intended for therapeutic purposes such as stabilizing fractures, performing osteotomies, arthrodesis, and correcting deformities.

No

The device description and intended use/indications for use clearly state that the Hoffmann® II Micro" External Fixation System is used for "stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures" and "reconstruction procedures," which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic actions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "external fixation frame component" and is part of an "External Fixation System," which are hardware devices used for stabilizing fractures. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 stabilizing fractures and performing reconstruction procedures on bone. This is a surgical device used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's an external fixation frame component, which is a physical device applied externally to the body to stabilize bones.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (on the body) for structural support and stabilization.

§ 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.
