AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a mechanical external fixation device and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

Therapeutic

Yes.
The device is intended for emergency stabilization of sacrum fractures or disruptions of the sacroiliac joint with associated circulatory instability, which directly addresses a medical condition and provides a therapeutic effect.

Diagnostic

No
The device is described as an "emergency stabilization instrument" and an "external fixation device" used for "unstable injuries and fractures of the pelvic ring." Its intended use is for "emergency stabilization of sacrum fractures or disruptions of the sacroiliac joint with associated circulatory instability." These descriptions indicate a therapeutic or treatment-oriented function rather than a diagnostic one.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "external fixation device comprised of four main parts: An inner rail, two outer rails, two upper side arms, and two lower side arms." This clearly indicates it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, the Synthes (USA) 2nd Generation Pelvic C-Clamp 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, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
• Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Pelvic C-Clamp is an external fixation device used for the emergency stabilization of sacrum fractures or disruptions of the sacroiliac joint. This is a mechanical intervention applied directly to the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, the Synthes 2nd Generation Pelvic C-Clamp falls under the category of a surgical or orthopedic device, not an IVD.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
