Intended Use
Ilizarov Drill Tip Wires are intended to be used for the following indications: Post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion; fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion and fractures requiring distraction; open and closed fracture fixation; pseudoarthrosis of long bones; limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction of bony or soft tissue deformities; correction of bony or soft tissue defects; joint arthrodesis; and infected fractures or nonunions. Ilizarov Drill Tip Wires are for single use only.
Device Description
The subject Ilizarov Drill Tip Wires are comprised of implantable anchorage elements designed for use in a multilateral (i.e. a circular) fixator assembly comprised of a structurally purposeful arrangement of simple or complex bridge elements, connection elements and anchorage elements. The subject devices are manufactured from implant grade stainless steel material. Compared to the predicate devices, the subject devices will be available in the following configurations: Ilizarov Drill Tip Wire, 1.8mm x 400mm Ilizarov Drill Tip Wire with Stopper, 1.8mm x 400mm
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (wires for external fixation) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions such as fractures, joint contractures, limb lengthening, and bony/soft tissue defects, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The Ilizarov Drill Tip Wires are intended for surgical fixation and stabilization of bones and joints, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is described as "implantable anchorage elements" made of "implant grade stainless steel material" and is subject to "Preclinical bench testing" including "Cutting performance of the wire". This clearly indicates a physical hardware device, not software.

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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes the Ilizarov Drill Tip Wires as implantable anchorage elements used in a surgical external fixation system. Their intended uses are for treating fractures, deformities, and joint issues through mechanical means (fixation, distraction, lengthening).
  • Lack of Biological Sample Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on such testing.

The device is a surgical implant used for mechanical support and manipulation of bone and tissue, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

§ 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.
