Intended Use
The KLS-Martin Sternal Talon is intended for use in stabilization and fixation of anterior chest wall fractures including Sternal Fixation subsequent to Sternotomy and Sternal reconstructive procedures.
Device Description
The KLS-Martin Sternal Talon is a two-piece clamping device with various foot depths and lengths that utilizes a ratcheted locking system. Each piece of the device is placed on opposing sides of the sternum and is designed to interlock providing a stabilized fixation thus allowing for various sternal widths. The device has a three position screw which allows the ratchet to open, close and lock. In an emergency situation, the device can be reopened by turning the screw to the open position. A second emergency re-entry is provided by cut points adjacent to the screw. The KLS Martin Sternal Talon is manufactured from TI-6AL-4V Titanium Alloy
More Information

No
The device description details a mechanical clamping device with a ratcheted locking system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is described as a fixation and stabilization device for sternal fractures and sternotomy, which is a supportive rather than therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "stabilization and fixation" device for anterior chest wall fractures, including sternal fixation. Its function involves providing mechanical support (clamping and interlocking) to stabilize the sternum, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "two-piece clamping device" manufactured from "TI-6AL-4V Titanium Alloy," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the KLS-Martin Sternal Talon is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the stabilization and fixation of anterior chest wall fractures, specifically sternal fixation. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical clamping device made of titanium alloy, designed to be implanted or used externally to hold bone fragments together.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. The Sternal Talon does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.

Therefore, the KLS-Martin Sternal Talon is a surgical device used for mechanical fixation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

No

Explanation: There is no mention of "Predetermined Change Control Plan" (PCCP) in the provided clearance letter. PCCP is a specific program for managing future modifications to a device, and its authorization would be explicitly stated if applicable.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The KLS-Martin Sternal Talon is intended for use in stabilization and fixation of anterior chest wall fractures including Sternal Fixation subsequent to Sternotomy Sternal and reconstructive procedures.

§ 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.
