No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical fixation system for rib fractures and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML components.

Yes
The device is used for "fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies," which are medical treatments for injuries or conditions, thus classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No.
The document describes the Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System as a device for "fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies." There is no mention of it being used to detect, diagnose, treat, or prevent disease. Instead, it is a therapeutic device designed for surgical repair.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of bone plates, intramedullary splints, and screws, which are physical hardware components made of titanium alloy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies of normal and osteoporotic bone." This describes a surgical implant used to treat a physical condition within the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of "bone plates, intramedullary (IM) splints and screws." These are physical components designed to be implanted.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests.

The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation.

§ 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.
