No
The provided text describes a mechanical intramedullary nail system for ankle fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used to perform tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion) to treat severe conditions such as avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and Charcot foot, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
This device is an intramedullary nail system (nails and screws) used for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion), indicating it is a surgical implant rather than a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "intramedullary nail system (nails and screws)" made of physical materials (Ti-6Al-4V and UHMWPE), indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Biomet Phoenix™ Ankle Nail System and the Biomet® Ankle Arthrodesis Nail are intramedullary nail systems (nails and screws). These are implants designed to be surgically placed within the bone to fuse the tibiotalocalcaneal joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion), which is a surgical procedure.

These devices are surgical implants, not devices used for testing biological samples.
