No
The summary describes a system of plates and screws for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is indicated for fixation of small bones and small fragments, osteotomies, arthrodeses, replantations, and reconstructions, which are structural and mechanical functions, not therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a system for fixation of bones and fragments, indicating it is an orthopedic implant for treatment, not diagnosis. The "Intended Use" section clearly states its purpose is for "fixation," which is a therapeutic action.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like plates and screws, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for the fixation of small bones and fragments, osteotomies, arthrodeses, replantations, and reconstructions. These are all surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of plates and screws, which are implants used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a surgical implant used for structural support and fixation within the body.

§ 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.
