The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is intended for the treatment of various fracture types, including stabilizing fractures, addressing non-unions, and correcting deformities. 'Treatment' is a key indicator of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an external fixation system used for the treatment of fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is to stabilize and treat, not to detect or identify.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device consists of "various clamps, rods, bars and rings," which are physical hardware components used to construct an external fixation frame.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Synthes External Fixation Devices are mechanical devices used to physically stabilize and treat bone fractures. They are implanted or applied externally to the body to hold bones in place.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the treatment of fractures, which is a physical intervention, not an analysis of bodily specimens.
- Device Description: The description details clamps, rods, bars, and rings used to construct a frame, which are structural components, not diagnostic reagents or analytical instruments.
The information provided describes a Class II medical device used for orthopedic treatment, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Synthes External Fixation Devices are intended for use in the construction of an external fixation frame for treatment of various fracture types that require external fixation.
The Synthes Small External Fixation System is intended to stabilize and provide treatment for fractures of the small bones, such as the hand, wrist, forearm, foot, and ankle. Specifically, the components can be used for:
· Preliminary fixation before ORIF
· Unstable fractures of the distal radius (both intra- and extra-articular)
· Open and/or comminuted bilateral fractures
· Fractures in combination with extensive soft tissue injury, bone loss, and vascular and/or neural involvement
· Fracture dislocations
· Failed closed reduction with casting resulting in secondary deformity (radial shortening and angulations)
· Pediatric open fractures with bone loss and osteotomies
The Synthes Large External Fixation Systems is intended to provide treatment for long bone and pelvic fractures that require external fixation. Specifically, the components can be used for:
• Stabilization of soft tissues and fractures
• Poyltrauma/multiple orthopedic trauma
• Vertically stable pelvic fractures, or as a treatment adjunct for vertically unstable pelvic fractures
• Arthrodeses and osteotomies with soft tissue problems; failures of total joints
• Neutralization of fractures stabilized with limited internal fixation
• Non-unions/septic non-unions
• Intra-operative reductions/stabilization tool to assist with indirect reduction
• Unilateral rectilinear bone segment transport or leg lengthening

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing has been completed to demonstrate the use of Synthes Small and Large External Fixation Systems in the MR environment. Displacement and torque testing has met the requirements in ASTM F2052 and ASTM F2213, respectively. The devices were shown to have acceptable heating when tested for RF Heating in accordance with ASTM F2182. Image artifact for the devices was determined through testing in accordance with ASTM F2119. Additionally, an engineering analysis was conducted to assess mechanical strength of the Bridging Rod Component of the Synthes Large External Fixation System.

§ 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.
