Intended Use
Each nail within the Orthofix Titanium Nailing System is intended for insertion into the medullary canal of a specific long bone - humerus, femur and tibia for the alignment, stabilization and fixation of various types of fractures or deformities caused by trauma or disease. These include: traumatic fractures, re-fractures, non-union, reconstruction, malunion, malalignment, pathological fractures and impending pathological fractures.
Device Description
The Orthofix Titanium Nailing system consists of intramedullary nails, locking screws and additional implantable components made of a titanium alloy. The nails included in the system are designed to treat several types of fractures of the humerus, femur and tibia. Nails come in various shapes and diameters and can be cannulated, straight, curved or with a bend. All nails are locked with various types of locking screws, specifically designed for the type of nail and fracture treated. Nails might have several locking options (varying in number and direction of fixation points and type of screws to be inserted), thus allowing a customized fragment adapted approach. Accessories include end caps, nuts and washers. Instrumentation is available for the insertion and removal of nails, screws and end caps.

The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for the alignment, stabilization, and fixation of various types of fractures or deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: This device is an Orthofix Titanium Nailing System, which is an implantable medical device used for the alignment, stabilization, and fixation of fractures or deformities. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of intramedullary nails, locking screws, and additional implantable components made of a titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Orthofix Titanium Nailing System is an implantable surgical device. It is inserted directly into the bone to stabilize fractures and deformities. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "alignment, stabilization and fixation of various types of fractures or deformities." This is a structural and mechanical function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Orthofix Titanium Nailing System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

All nails are locked with various types of locking screws, specifically designed for the type of nail and fracture treated. Nails might have several locking options (varying in number and direction of fixation points and type of screws to be inserted), thus allowing a customized fragment adapted approach. Accessories include end caps, nuts and washers.

Instrumentation is available for the insertion and removal of nails, screws and end caps.

3. Intended Use

Each nail within the Orthofix Titanium Nailing System is intended for insertion into the medullary canal of a specific long bone - humerus, femur and tibia for the alignment, stabilization and fixation of various types of fractures or deformities caused by trauma or disease. These include: traumatic fractures, re-fractures, non-union, reconstruction, malunion, malalignment, pathological fractures and impending pathological fractures.

4. Substantial equivalence

Documentation is provided which demonstrates the Orthofix Titanium Nailing System to be substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices. The nails included in the Orthofix Titanium Nailing system and the predicate devices are all intramedullary fracture fixation systems as defined in 21 CFR 888.3020, furthermore, the size, shape and materials for the subject devices are comparable to the predicate devices.

5. Conclusion

Based upon the similarities in design, materials and intended uses of the Orthofix Titanium Nailing System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
