Intended Use
The Ortho Solutions Limited Oxford Ankle Fusion Nail (AFN) System is a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) solid fusion system that has been developed for the following indications: - Failed ankle replacement - Arthritis of ankle and subtalar joint - Correcting neuromuscular imbalance of hindfoot, where bone fusion is required - Revision of failed ankle and/or subtalar fusion - Revision of failed Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion - Talar Avascular Necrosis (AVN) - Charcot - Trauma - Neuroarthropathy - Pseudoarthrosis - Rheumatoid arthritis
Device Description
The Ortho Solutions Oxford Ankle Fusion Nail (AFN) System is composed of three(3) diameter (10, 11 & 12mm) sizes by two(2) lengths (150 & 180mm) as a straight nail, cannulated, to accept a 3.9mm Guide Pin. The cannulated nail is inserted through a dorsal heel incision over a guide wire using x-ray fluoroscopy within the ankle boney anatomy and distal tibia medullary canal. The guidewire is used to achieve adequate positioning. A Revision Nail in all sizes is also offered where the angled transverse hole is removed. A low-profile head 5.0mm Cortical Transverse Bone Screw (in 26 lengths of 20 - 115mm in 2 & 5mm increments) is used for proximal and distal multiple 'cross-screw' fixation after compression of the ankle joint space. Dynamization Slots(2) are located at the Proximal End of the nail. Also offered is a Standard and Locking End Cap for closing the distal end of the nail. The Locking End Cap rests and locks against the most distal Transverse 5.0mm Cortical Screw. For completion of long bone fractures, End Caps in 3 lengths (+0, +5 & +10) and in 3 diameters (10, 11 & 12mm) are used for distal IM Nail Length Extension as necessary. As well, all End Caps seal the end of the nail to avoid ingrowth of tissues. All bone hole preparation and bone screw insertion is with the assistance of intra-operative x-ray fluoroscopy. All implant components are offered 'Sterile' for Single Use. With the Intramedullary Nail inserted into the ankle bone, an instrument 'Targeting Arm' with alignment holes is attached to the distal end of the nail. This external Targeting Arm allows proper orientation, preparation, and alignment of the proper cannula for transverse and angled drilling of bone screw holes into the nail and ankle anatomy cortical and cancellous bone. The bone hole preparation is for proper alignment to the referenced transverse and angled holes within the Intramedullary Nail for insertion of Transverse 5.0mm Cortical Bone Screws. All implant components are made from 6-4 Alloyed Titanium material to ASTM F 136 and are anodized with a Type II surface preparation. The IM Nail, End Cap and Transverse Screws may be removed when long bone fracture(s) are healed or the ankle joint space is fused. A full complement of instrumentation (external Targeting Arm Main Jig. guide wire/pins, drill guides/sleeves, cannulated tissue protector sleeves, depth gauge, reamers, reaming rod, drills, drivers, cannulated guide tube & trocar, etc.) is available with the system. A 'sterile single use' disposable pack is available encompassing a guide pin, guide rod, drills, reamer, reaming rod and exchange tube. A implant extraction/removal instrumentation set is also made available.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components and surgical procedure, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes

Explanation: The device is an implantable system (nail and screws) designed to facilitate bone fusion (arthrodesis) in the ankle and subtalar joint for various conditions like arthritis, failed replacements, and trauma. This directly addresses disease or injury by restoring function, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a surgical implant designed for tibiotalocalcaneal fusion, used to correct various ankle and subtalar conditions. It is not used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details multiple hardware components including nails, screws, end caps, and instrumentation, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Ortho Solutions Limited Oxford Ankle Fusion Nail (AFN) System is a surgical implant used for bone fusion in the ankle and surrounding areas. It is inserted directly into the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses are all related to surgical procedures for treating various conditions affecting the ankle and hindfoot, requiring bone fusion.
  • No mention of samples: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
