Intended Use
The Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone factures. The indications for use include, but are not limited to, the following applications: - Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar, interspinous, or facet wiring techniques - Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, - Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions; The Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of stainless steel whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical orthopedic implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to provide temporary stabilization and aid in the repair of bone fractures during orthopedic surgery, which directly addresses a medical condition or ailment.

No

The provided text explicitly states the device is a "temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery" intended to "provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor" and "aid in the repair of bone fractures," rather than to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "temporary orthopedic implant" and a "temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes the Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System as a temporary implant used in orthopedic surgery for stabilization and aiding in bone repair. It is physically placed inside the body during surgery.

The device's function is entirely mechanical and structural, not related to analyzing biological samples.
