The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is used to construct an external fixation frame for the treatment of fractures and other orthopedic conditions.
No
The device is an external fixation system used for stabilizing fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as clamps, posts, bars, and fixation pins, which are physical elements of an external fixation system, not software.
Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Extrafix External Fixation System is a physical device used to stabilize bones and pelvic fractures externally. It is applied directly to the patient's body and does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD-related terms: The description and intended use do not mention any processes related to analyzing biological specimens, laboratory testing, or diagnostic information derived from such analysis.
Therefore, the Extrafix External Fixation System falls under the category of a surgical or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Extrafix External Fixation System includes various elements designed to build a fixator construct. The system includes clamps, posts, bars, and fixation pins.
The Extrafix External Fixation System is indicated for use in construction of an external fixation frame for treatment of long bone (foot, femur, and tibia) and pelvic fractures that require external fixation. Specifically, the system is intended for:
- Temporary stabilization of open or closed acute fractures with soft tissue injuries; .
- Definitive stabilization of open or closed fractures where open or alternative closed # treatment is undesirable or otherwise contraindicated;
- Stabilization of fractures in the context of polytrauma; .
- Temporary or definitive stabilization of certain pelvic fractures or pelvic ring injuries;
- Arthrodesis and osteotomies with associated soft tissue problems; .
- Stabilization of limbs after removal of total joint (knee, and ankle) arthroplasty for . infection or other failure;
- Neutralization of fractures stabilized with limited internal fixation; .
- Stabilization of non-unions; and
- Intraoperative temporary stabilization tool to assist with indirect reduction.

§ 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.
