The description details a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states its purpose for "fracture fixation," "limb lengthening," and "correction of bony or soft tissue deformities," which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is described as an external ring fixation system intended for fracture fixation, limb lengthening, and correction of deformities and defects. These are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "external ring fixation system" comprised of physical components like wires, screws, rings, rods, and other hardware. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for surgical procedures on the human body (fracture fixation, limb lengthening, deformity correction). This is a therapeutic and structural device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details an external fixation system with physical components like wires, screws, rings, and rods. This is consistent with a surgical implant/device, not a device used to examine samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System does not fit this description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is intended for fracture fixation (open and closed), pseudoarthrosis or nonunions of long bones, limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction, correction of bony or soft tissue deformities, and correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects.

Device Description
The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is an external ring fixation system. The system is comprised of wires and Schanz screws that are attached to rings with bolts, nuts and/or clamps; rods that interconnect the rings; and connecting plates, hinges, standoffs, posts and supports that complete the assembly of the fixator. The system components are made from nonmagnetic materials and are intended to be used in an MR environment. An MR environment is described as the general environment present in the vicinity of an MR scanner and/or anywhere in the procedure room, including the center of the bore of the MR scanner.
The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is a modular and versatile system that is fully customizable. An individualized frame should be constructed for each case to suit the specific situation.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Anderson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
