The provided text describes a bone plate system for fracture fixation and reconstruction. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

No
Explanation: This device is used for fixation of bones, which is a surgical procedure, not a therapeutic treatment.

No
Explanation: The device is a bone plate system used for fixation of fractures and reconstruction, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device is a bone plate system, which is a physical implant used for fracture fixation and reconstruction. This is a hardware device, not software.

No, 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, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The provided information describes a "Locking Bone Plate System" used for fixing fractures, fusions, and reconstructions of bones. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on bodily fluids or tissues.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states fixation and reconstruction of bones, which is a therapeutic and structural purpose, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Merete Locking Bone Plate System is a medical device used for orthopedic surgery, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
