No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of bone fixation plates and screws, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a set of implantable bone fixation plates and screws used to treat fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. While it aids in healing and improving function, its primary role is structural fixation, not direct therapeutic action like drug delivery or energy modulation. It's a surgical implant rather than a therapeutic device in the sense of actively treating a condition through a specific mechanism like stimulating tissue growth or reducing pain.

No
The device is described as a set of implantable bone fixation plates and screws used for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. Its intended use is for treatment and repair, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a set of metallic, implantable bone fixation plates and screws, along with surgical instruments. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Modular Foot System is a set of "metallic, implantable, bone fixation plates and screws" used for "fractures, fusions and osteotomies for small bones." These are surgical implants and instruments used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to fix bones, not to analyze samples from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Modular Foot System is a surgical device, 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.
