Intended Use
The MEDPOR Fixation System - Cranial is intended for use in cranial surgery to fixate MEDPOR cranial implants to the surrounding cranial skeleton.
Device Description
The MEDPOR Fixation System - Cranial is a plate and screw system to be used in Cranial Surgery. The components that comprise the system are composed of titanium plates. titanium alloy bone screws, titanium alloy implant screws, and surgical stainless steel instruments for the installation of the plates and screws. The plates are manufactured of grade 4 titanium and adhere to the American Society of Testing Materials (A.S.T.M.) F67 Standard. The bone and implant screws are manufactured of 6-4 ELI titanium that meets the ASTM F136 standard. The implant screws are designed to be used with MEDPOR polyethylene implants manufactured by Porex Surgical under K832283. K922489. K952677, K040364 and K083621. The screws and plates have been color anodized for ease of use by a surgeon. The blue anodized side of the plate corresponds to the blue anodized bone screw and the magenta anodized side of the plate corresponds to the magenta anodized implant screw. The MEDPOR Fixation System -- Cranial is sterilized by ethylene oxide sterilization. The instruments and unused components can be resterilized via steam sterilization.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the materials and mechanical components of a plate and screw system for cranial surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a plate and screw system intended to fixate cranial implants to the surrounding cranial skeleton, not to treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "plate and screw system" intended for "craniofacial surgery to fixate MEDPOR cranial implants to the surrounding cranial skeleton." This indicates it is a surgical fixation device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a plate and screw system composed of physical components like titanium plates, screws, and surgical instruments. It is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "fixate MEDPOR cranial implants to the surrounding cranial skeleton" during cranial surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a system of plates, screws, and instruments made of titanium and stainless steel. These are physical components used for mechanical fixation within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The MEDPOR Fixation System - Cranial is a surgical implant and fixation system, not an IVD.
