No
The summary describes a mechanical plate system and surgical instruments for bone fixation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device described is part of an instrument set used for surgical planning during the implantation of a therapeutic device (the plate system), but it is not the therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as "Provisional Instruments" used to "determine the suitable implant length during intra-operative planning" for surgical implantation, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a system of "surgically invasive, non-sterile, reusable devices" used for intra-operative planning, which are physical instruments, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "surgically invasive, non-sterile, reusable instruments used to determine the suitable implant length during intra-operative planning." This further reinforces its use in a surgical setting.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve testing samples from the body.

The device is a surgical instrument used during a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
A bending test was performed to assess the behavior of the Provisionals under high handling force. The acceptance criteria were successfully met.

Radiolucency and the physico-chemical stability of the polyphenylsulfone with barium sulfate material was compared before and after cleaning and sterilization cycles - results showed no discernable or significant differences between pre- and postprocessing. There was no evidence of surface changes, etch degradation, material deformation, significant dimensional changes and/or cracking of the provisional materials. The acceptance criteria were successfully met.

Cytotoxicity of the polyphenylsulfone material with barium sulfate was evaluated post-processing. No leachable substances were released in cytotoxic concentrations from the test item. The acceptance criteria were met. In addition, this material has been used in prior orthopedic instrumentation with the same ISO 10993-1 classification and has a long successful history of clinical use.

§ 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.
