Intended Use
The Zimmer Natural Nail System is intended for temporary fracture fixation and stabilization of the bone. Indications for use of the Greater Trochanter and Piriformis Fossa Antegrade Femoral nails in the femur include: - · Compound and simple shaft fractures - · Proximal, metaphyseal and distal shaft fractures - · Segmental fractures - · Comminuted fractures - · Fractures involving osteopenic and osteoporotic bone - · Pathological fractures - · Fractures with bone loss - · Pseudoarthrosis, non-union, mal-union and delayed union - · Periprosthetic fractures - · Surgically created defects such as osteotomies - · Intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures
Device Description
The Zimmer Natural Nail System Antegrade Femoral Nails are a family of temporary fixation intramedullary nails designed for fracture fixation and stabilization of the femur. The nails are available in a variety of lengths and diameters to meet assorted anatomical needs. Each of the intramedullary nails is secured by a series of screws that pass through holes manufactured into the proximal and distal sections of each nail. Nail caps are available to prevent tissue ingrowth into nail threads and increase the length of the nail if desired. All components are available in Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are focused on a mechanical intramedullary nail system for fracture fixation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended for fracture fixation and stabilization of bone, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device description states that the Zimmer Natural Nail System is intended for "temporary fracture fixation and stabilization of the bone," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system of intramedullary nails and associated hardware (screws, nail caps) made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "temporary fracture fixation and stabilization of the bone," specifically in the femur. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "intramedullary nail system" made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, designed to be implanted within the bone.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve testing samples outside the body.

The Zimmer Natural Nail System is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
