Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical sternal fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the closure/repair of the sternum to stabilize it and promote fusion, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device description states its use is for "closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the sternum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion," which describes a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Synthes Titanium Locking Plates" which are physical hardware components used for sternal fixation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the stemum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body for structural support and healing.
  • Device Description: The description details titanium plates and screws, which are physical implants.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the core function of an IVD.

Therefore, the Synthes Sternal Fixation System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic 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)
Classification. Class II.
