The document describes a mechanical internal bone fixation system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functions.
Yes
The device is intended for internal bone fixation and treatment of various fractures, osteotomies, and revision procedures, which are therapeutic medical interventions.
No
The device is an internal fixation device (screws and instrumentation) used for internal bone fixation in adult patients, treating fractures, osteotomies, and revision procedures. Its indicated uses are all related to surgical repair and stabilization of bones, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an internal fixation device consisting of screws and instrumentation, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Stryker VariAx 2 System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "internal bone fixation in adult patients" and describes its use in treating fractures, osteotomies, and revision procedures. This is a surgical device used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details the system as "an internal fixation device consisting of screws and instrumentation." This further confirms its nature as a surgical implant/tool.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided text does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens.
Therefore, the Stryker VariAx 2 System falls under the category of a surgical device for internal fixation, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
This Special 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market the VariAx 2 System. The VariAx 2 System is an internal fixation device consisting of screws and instrumentation that will be used in conjunction with previously cleared VariAx Plating Systems to treat a number of different types of fractures in the radius, ulna, humerus, clavicle, foot, ankle, distal tibia and fibula. These screws can be used in conjunction with said plating systems, or in the case of non-locking screws, may also be used independently using a lag screw technique. The subject components will be available sterile and non-sterile.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A risk analysis was performed according to the requirements of ISO 14971: "Medical Devices – Application of risk management of medical devices." The evaluation demonstrated that the subject device did not present a new worst case and that the same verification and validation methods were applied to the subject components in comparison to the previously cleared predicate device (K132502). The analyses demonstrated that the subject components met the performance requirements and are as safe and effective as 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)
