The summary describes a mechanical external fixation device and its components, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in its function, intended use, or testing.
Yes
The device is described as an "External Fixation Device" and its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" clearly state its purpose in treating various types of fractures, including stabilization of soft tissues, management of polytrauma, and treatment of non-unions, which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is an external fixation system used for the treatment and stabilization of various types of fractures. Its intended use is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of "standard bridge elements (rods, articulating and telescoping components), and connection elements (clamps)". These are physical hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the construction of an external fixation frame to treat various fracture types. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details components like rods, clamps, and connection elements used in a physical external fixation system. This aligns with a surgical or orthopedic device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a physical implant/external support used to stabilize fractures.

Device Description
The Reprocessed External Fixation Device consists of the standard bridge elements (rods, articulating and telescoping components), and connection elements (clamps) contained in the original manufacturer's system. Some of the components are MR safe and made of non-magnetic materials. MR safe components are intended for use in the MR environment. Anchorage elements are not included in the Reprocessed External Fixation Device.

§ 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)
