No
The document describes a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as an external fixation system intended for the treatment of various bone conditions, including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and fracture fixation, which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is an external fixation system used for treating bone conditions, not for diagnosing them. It is a therapeutic device that physically intervenes in the treatment of conditions like leg lengthening and fracture fixation.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (central body, stem assemblies, clamp assemblies, etc.) that form the external fixation system.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices 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 Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a mechanical external fixation system used to treat bone conditions. It involves physically attaching components to the bone to provide stability and support for healing, lengthening, or correction.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device interacts directly with the bone.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Construx External Fixation System falls under the category of a surgical or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Construx External Fixation System is a unilateral external fixation device intended for use in children and adults in the treatment of bone conditions including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by the use of the external fixation modality.

§ 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)
