The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for the treatment and stabilization of fractures, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device, FastFrame™ External Fixation System, is described as a system for stabilizing long bone fractures, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one. Its intended uses involve treatment of fractures, arthrodesis, osteotomies, and stabilization, none of which are diagnostic activities.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components like fixation half-pins, rigid clamps, and adjustable telescoping tubes (bars), indicating it is a hardware 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 describes the device as being used for the treatment and stabilization of bone fractures and related conditions. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a system of pins, clamps, and tubes used for external fixation, which is a surgical procedure.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for diagnosis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FastFrame External Fixation System - Knee Spanning is indicated for use in treatment of long bone (distal femur, proximal tibia) fractures. Specifically, the system is intended for:
-
Stabilization of open or closed fractures about the knee, typically in the context of polytrauma or where open or alternative closed treatment is undesirable or otherwise contraindicated;
-
Arthrodesis and osteotomies with associated soft tissue problems about the knee;
-
Stabilization of limbs after removal of total knee arthroplasty for infection or other failure;
-
Stabilization of non-unions about the knee; and
-
Intraoperative temporary stabilization to assist with indirect reduction.
The FastFrame External Fixation System - Damage Control is indicated for use in treatment of mid-shaft long bone (femur, tibia) fractures. Specifically, the system is intended for:
-
Stabilization of open or closed fractures of the femur and tibia, typically in the context of polytrauma or where open or alternative closed treatment is undesirable or otherwise contraindicated;
-
Stabilization of non-unions; and
-
Intraoperative temporary stabilization to assist with indirect reduction.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Performance Evaluation – The mechanical testing confirmed that the subject devices perform substantially equivalent in full construct rigidity and interconnection performance as compared to the predicate device. In addition, the FastFrame External Fixation System – Knee Spanning and FastFrame External Fixation System - Damage Control were found to be MRI Conditional per FDA Guidance “Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment” issued on December 11, 2014.
Conclusions: The results demonstrate that the devices are safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices to show substantial equivalence.

§ 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)

Comparison to Predicate Device: Both the subject and predicate systems can be used to reduce and fix long bone anatomy. Both systems use bars, clamps, and fixation pins to achieve the clinical end result. Both systems allow for length distraction and polyaxial motion between clamp bodies.
The major difference between the subject and predicate systems is that predicate system frame needs to be built intra-operatively. The FastFrame External Fixation Systems contains a frame which comes with clamps and bars (telescoping tubes) pre-assembled, and are not dissassemblable by the end user. The subject FastFrame External Fixation Systems are provided in sterile convenience kits as compared to the predicate system that
