Intended Use
The aap LOQTEQ® Distal Anterolateral Tibia Plate 3.5 is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal tibia, especially in osteopenic bone.
Device Description
The aap LOQTEQ® Distal Anterolateral Tibia Plate 3.5 consists of bone plates and bone screws, to be implanted by a surgeon in order to achieve an internal fixation of bone fragments typically after fractures. If the plates are used in conjunction with locking screws, a so called internal fixator will be realized (internal fixation). The aap LOQTEQ® Distal Anterolateral Tibia Plate 3.5 consists of: LOQTEQ® Distal Anterolateral Tibia Plate 3.5 (left and right) to be used with LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, T15, self-tapping Cortical Screw 3.5, self-tapping LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, small head, T15, self-tapp. Cortical Screw 3.5, small head, self-tapping Implants are made of Ti6A14V (ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3)

No
The device description and intended use are solely focused on a mechanical bone plate and screw system for fracture fixation. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal tibia, which are medical conditions, and it consists of bone plates and screws designed to fix bone fragments, thus providing therapy for these conditions.

No

Explanation: This device is a bone plate and screw system designed for internal fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of bone plates and bone screws, which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, 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, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device consists of bone plates and screws intended for internal fixation of bone fragments after fractures. This is a surgical implant used directly within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal tibia. This is a structural and mechanical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation, 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.
