Reprocessed External Fixation Devices are intended for the treatment of bone conditions that can be corrected or improved by external skeletal traction or fixation, including osteotomy, arthrodesis, fracture and reconstructive surgery.
Device Description
Vanguard Reprocessed External Fixation Devices are previously used non-Device invasive orthopedic devices that have been cleaned, inspected, tested, and Description packaged by Vanguard Medical Concepts, Inc. External fixation device systems are comprised of various elements that, when used in conjunction with one another, form bridge constructs to which anchoring screws, wires and/or pins may be attached.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of external fixation devices and their reprocessing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for "treatment of bone conditions that can be corrected or improved by external skeletal traction or fixation, including osteotomy, arthrodesis, fracture and reconstructive surgery," which constitutes a therapeutic use.

No
The device is an external fixation system used for the treatment and stabilization of bone conditions like fractures and osteotomies. It is a therapeutic device, not one that diagnoses a condition.

No

The device description details physical components made of materials like aluminum and stainless steel, which are hardware. The reprocessing involves cleaning, inspection, and testing of these physical devices.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of bone conditions through external skeletal traction or fixation. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device components are physical elements (rods, rails, clamps, rings) used to create a structure for stabilizing bone. They are not used to examine specimens derived from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a person's health.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (within the body) for treatment.

§ 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.
