Intended Use
The Tornier Aequalis Humeral Nail System is intended to provide temporary stabilization of various types of proximal and/or diaphyseal fractures of the humerus. Types of fractures include, but are not limited to, non-unions, malunions, malalignments, pathological fractures, and impending pathological fractures. Examples of specific indications according to AO classification include Type A-Fractures, dislocated, Type B Fractures, dislocated, Type C-Fractures, with intact humeral head, or Humeral Fractures according to Neer-Classification (2, 3 and 4 part fractures).
Device Description
The Tornier Aequalis Humeral Nail System includes intramedullary nails and screws. The Tornier Aequalis Humeral Nail is a straight, cannulated intramedullary nail with a tapered distal diameter. Nails are provided in right and left configurations with a 9mm diameter and 130mm length. The proximal end of the nail contains screw holes in four axes for proximal locking using 5mm cannulated or non-cannulated screws. The proximal end of the nail also contains a cannulated polyethylene insert with screw holes aligned with those of the nail. This insert is intended to help prevent the proximal screws from backing out. The distal end of the nail incorporates one screw hole for distal locking using 4.5mm screws. The nail and screws are manufactured from anodized Ti-6Al-4V alloy: The purpose of this 510(k) is to add 7mm or 8mm proximal diameter nails in lengths of 130mm, 210mm, 230mm, 250mm, and 270mm lengths to the predicate system.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of an intramedullary nail system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an implantable intramedullary nail system intended for temporary stabilization of bone fractures, not for direct therapeutic treatment beyond stabilization.

No
The device is an orthopedic implant (intramedullary nails and screws) used for temporary stabilization of humeral fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes intramedullary nails and screws, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "temporary stabilization of various types of proximal and/or diaphyseal fractures of the humerus." This describes a surgical implant used to treat bone fractures.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "intramedullary nails and screws" made of a titanium alloy. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.
