No
Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate that this system consists of plates, screws, and staples used to provide internal fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. It is a surgical implant designed for treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a family of plates, screws, and staples manufactured from stainless steel or titanium, 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 describes the device as being used for internal fixation of bones following surgery for fractures, osteotomies, fusions, and reconstructions. This involves physically implanting the device into the body to stabilize bone structures.
- Device Description: The device is described as plates, screws, and staples made from stainless steel or titanium, designed for use in orthopedic surgery. These are physical implants.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples.
The device described is a surgical implant used to provide structural support and fixation within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.
