No
The summary describes a system of plates and screws for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the fixation of fractures, malunions, and non-unions, which are conditions that require treatment to restore function, thus classifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
This device is a surgical implant system (plates and screws) used for internal fixation of fractures, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it contains "posterolateral and medial plates" and "screws," which are physical hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
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 and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a system of plates and screws intended for the surgical fixation of bone fractures in the distal humerus, olecranon, and ulna. This is a surgical implant used directly within the body to stabilize bones.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of testing bodily samples, analyzing biological markers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.
Therefore, the Synthes Variable Angle LCP Elbow System falls under the category of a surgical implant/orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Synthes Variable Angle LCP Elbow System is intended for fixation of fractures of the distal humerus, olecranon and ulna in adults and adolescents (12-21) in which the growth plates have fused. Specifically,
· Distal humerus plates are indicated for intra-articular fractures, comminuted supracondylar fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions of the distal humerus.
· Olecranon and Proximal ulna plates are indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions of the olecranon and proximal ulna.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Static and fatigue strength testing, as well as an engineering analysis, was completed for Medial and Posterolateral Distal Humerus Plates, demonstrating equal to or greater strength in comparison to the predicate devices and constructs. Additionally, mechanical testing for the 2.7mm Metaphyseal Screws demonstrated substantial equivalence in comparison to the existing 2.7mm VA Locking Screws (K100776).

§ 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.
