Intended Use
The SBi Mini Rail External Fixation System is intended for fixation, compression, and distraction osteo-genesis of small bones, such as metacarpal and metatarsal. The system also includes the instruments with which to place the pins and assemble the construct. A tray is available for conveying and storing the system. The system is not intended for spinal use. The SBi Mini Rail External Fixation System is indicated for use in external fixation of fractures and/or reconstruction of small bones, including metacarpal and metatarsal.
Device Description
The SBi Mini Rail External Fixation System consists of pins of various diameters and lengths as well as the rails and accessories with which to connect and stabilize them. The system also includes instruments to implant the pins and connect the external components. A tray is included to store and transport the set. The devices are supplied non-sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components for external fixation and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is used for external fixation of fractures and reconstruction of small bones, which are therapeutic interventions rather than diagnostic.

No
The device is described as an external fixation system for treating fractures and reconstructing small bones. Its purpose is mechanical support and stabilization, not to diagnose or identify medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like pins, rails, accessories, instruments, and a tray, which are hardware.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The SBi Mini Rail External Fixation System is a surgical device used to physically stabilize and fix bones. It involves implanting pins and assembling external components directly onto the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fixation, compression, and distraction osteo-genesis of small bones" and "external fixation of fractures and/or reconstruction of small bones." This is a therapeutic and structural intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description clearly indicates a device used on the patient for structural support and healing, not a device used to analyze a biological sample outside the body for diagnostic purposes.

§ 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.
