The summary describes a mechanical system for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for fixation following osteotomies, which is a medical treatment.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an "instrumentation, implant, and fixation" system used to provide fixation following proximal tibial opening wedge osteotomies. Its function is to enable surgeons to perform a surgical procedure and fixate the opening wedge, not to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of instrumentation, a PEEK implant, and PEEK fixation, which are all hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used for "fixation following Proximal Tibial opening wedge osteotomies." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details instrumentation, an implant, and fixation components designed for surgical use in bone.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during a surgical procedure.

Device Description
The iBalance AKRFx Medial Opening Wedge Tibial System is comprised of an instrumentation set (AKRFX Medial Instrumentation), a PEEK wedge-like implant (the iFX® Medial PEEK Implant) and PEEK fixation (the iFX® Medial PEEK Cancellous and Cortical Anchors). The system enables surgeons to perform a high tibial opening wedge osteotomy with fixation.
The iFX® Medial PEEK Implant is provided in three general sizes; Small (SM), Medium (MD), and Large (LG). Two configurations of implant and anchors exist. The implant and anchors work as a single construct to fixate and support the opening wedge at its corrective angle.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biomaterials in the AKREX Medial Opening Wedge Tibial System meet standard ISO 10993-1 standard for biocompatibility or ASTM F 899 for stainless steel. Performance testing according to ASTM F 2077 compared physical properties of the iBalance AKREX System to the Arthex System predicate device. In addition, cadaver studies demonstrated the performance of the AKREx Instrumentation cnables the proper placement of the iFX implant and anchors. Lastly, the company's clinical safety study shows that the differences in the iFX® Medial PEEK Implant System do not raise new safety issues and healing of the osteotomy is not adversely affected by differences in device design as compared to the predicates. In all instances, the iBalance AKRFX Medial Opening Wedge Tibial System functioned as intended and testing results observed were as expected.

§ 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)
