Intended Use
Piccolo Composite Humeral, Proximal Humerus, Tibial and Femoral Nails: Indications include simple fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting. The nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the long bones being treated. Piccolo Composite Ankle Arthrodesis Nails: Indicated for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion). Specific indications include: Avascular necrosis of the talus; Failed total ankle arthroplasty; Trauma (malunited tibial pilon fracture); Severe deformity or instability as a result of talipes equinovarus, cerebral vascular accident, paralysis or other neuromuscular discase; Revision ankle arthrodesis; Neuroarthropathy; Rheumatoid arthritis; Osteoarthritis; Pseudoarthrosis; Post-traumatic arthrosis; Previously infected arthrosis; Charcot foot; Severe endstage degencrative arthritis; Severe defects after tumor resection; Pantalar arthrodesis
Device Description
The Piccolo Composite Nailing Systems include nails, interlocking screws and instrumentation sets. The nails are made, in general, of carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK), and are marked with tantalum markers, to provide for their visualization under fluoroscopy. The nails provide for holes at the proximal and distal sections, designed for the insertion of the titanium-alloy-made screws.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material and mechanical aspects of the nails and screws, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are based on comparison to predicate devices, not on algorithmic performance metrics.

No.
The device is a medical implant (nails and screws) used for fixation of bones, not a therapeutic device in the sense of delivering treatment like drugs or radiation.

No

This device is a nailing system used for the fixation of fractures and arthrodesis, which are treatments rather than diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device includes nails, interlocking screws, and instrumentation sets, which are physical hardware components made of materials like CFR-PEEK and titanium alloy.

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 or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Piccolo Composite Nailing Systems are implants (nails and screws) used for the fixation of bone fractures and for arthrodesis (fusion) of the ankle. These are surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body, not tests performed on samples outside the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of surgical implants or orthopedic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
