More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and testing, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as "implantable titanium alloy bone plates and fasteners used for the repair of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of upper extremity diaphyses," which directly indicates its use in the treatment and healing of medical conditions, thereby serving a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is described as an implantable system of plates and fasteners for repairing fractures and non-unions, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of implantable titanium alloy bone plates and fasteners, as well as specialized stainless steel instrumentation. These are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The device is intended for the repair of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of upper extremity diaphyses. This is a surgical/implantable device used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it consists of implantable bone plates and fasteners, along with instrumentation for installation. This is consistent with a surgical implant system.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support and repair.

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

Substantial equivalence is demonstrated between the TOBY @ WOLF® Long Bone Plate system and the predicate device systems listed above through the review of various performance data. Substantial equivalence has been determined through a 20-point comparison of technological features and a multiparameter comparison of mechanical performance. The design features are similar in the device systems, as are the indications for use. Results from stiffness. strength and fatigue testing per ASTM F382-99, and screw pullout testing, demonstrate that the WOLF® Long Bone Plate system is safe and effective, and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

§ 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.
