The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of the plates and screws for guiding bone growth, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes.
The device is used to correct angular deformities in growing children by redirecting the angle of growth of long bones, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
This device is a surgical implant designed to correct angular deformities in growing children by redirecting bone growth. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical implant (plates and screws) designed to be surgically attached to bone. This is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
No, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Guided Growth System is a surgical implant designed to physically correct bone deformities by redirecting bone growth. It is implanted directly into the body and does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a mechanical intervention to correct anatomical structure, not a diagnostic test based on biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Guided Growth System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Guided Growth System plates are designed for the express and sole purpose of redirecting the angle of growth of long bone(s). This is useful for gradually correcting angular deformities in growing children. Specific conditions/diseases for which the device will be indicated include: valgus, varus or flexion, extension deformities of the knee (femur and/or tibia), valgus, varus or plantar flexion deformities of the ankle, valgus or varus deformities of the elbow (humerus), radial or ulnar deviation, flexion or extension deformities of the wrist (radius).

Device Description
The Guided Growth System is designed for the gradual correction of pediatric deformities in both the upper and lower extremities. The device can be used for correction of congenital deformities as well as correction of acquired deformities, provided that the physis (growth plates) are not fused. The plates feature a contoured waist and low profile for pediatric usage. There is a center hole in the plate for a temporary guide pin to be implanted to ensure accurate application of the plate. The plates are attached to the external surface of the bone over the growth plate by two or four screws. These screws are not locked to the plate, but rather are allowed to swivel and diverge in their position as bone growth occurs. The implant acts like a flexible hinge, permitting growth at the growth plate to gradually straighten the limb. Immediately after implantation, the patient is allowed mobility and weight bearing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biomechanical Testing: In order to demonstrate that the Guided Growth System Quad-Plate has the mechanical properties necessary to perform its intended use, and that the Quad Plate performs as well as or better than the predicate device, Orthofix has conducted mechanical and functional testing of the Quad-Plate in accordance with ASTM F564-02 Standard Specification and Test Method for Metallic Bone Staples. The testing was successfully completed demonstrating the Quad Plate performs as well as the Guided Growth System eight-Plate.

§ 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.
