No
The document describes a mechanical fixation device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is described as "intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma," which is a therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The Tensyn™ Band is described as a system for fixation of syndesmosis disruptions, used to provide fixation during the healing process. Its purpose is to stabilize, not to diagnose, as indicated by the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections.
No
The device description clearly states that the Tensyn™ Band is comprised of physical components (polymer coated flat polyethylene terephthalate (PET) suture band, button, and lock) and is available in titanium and stainless steel. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Tensyn™ Band is for providing fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical implant comprised of a suture band, button, and lock. This is a physical device used to stabilize a joint, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Tensyn™ Band does not fit this description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Tensynth Band is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma. such as fixation of syndesmosis (syndesmosis disruptions) in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures which have been properly stabilized and which allow stable placement of the Tensyn band apart from any other fixation hardware.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
All necessary testing has been performed with the Tensyn™ Band to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Testing included rotational loading, cyclic loading, ultimate load, load at 3 mm and shear test. The testing demonstrated that the Tensyn™ Band is 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.

Indications for Use:
Tensynth Band is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma. such as fixation of syndesmosis (syndesmosis disruptions) in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures which have been properly stabilized and which allow stable placement of the Tensyn band apart from any other fixation hardware.
Technical Characteristics:
The Tensyn™ Band has similar physical and technical characteristics to the predicate devices since all devices achieve fixation through a suture between two metal fasteners.
Performance Data:
All necessary testing has been performed with the Tensyn™ Band to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Testing included rotational loading, cyclic loading, ultimate load, load at 3 mm and shear test. The testing demonstrated that the Tensyn™ Band is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:
Upon reviewing the technical information provided in this submission and comparing intended use, principle of operation, performance data, and overall technological characteristics, the Tensyn™ Band is determined to be substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices.
