The device is a hip implant (Bencox M Stem, Bencox ID Cemented Stem) used in hip arthroplasty, and its accessories (Centralizer, Bone Plug, Hip Instrumentation). These are used for treatment and replacement purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly details physical components made of materials like Ti6AI4V alloy, stainless steel, PMMA, and UHMWPE, which are implanted or used during surgery. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the Bencox M Stem and Bencox ID Cemented Stem are implants intended for use in hip replacement surgery. They are physical components inserted into the body to replace damaged parts of the hip joint.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the conditions for which the hip system is used in surgery (e.g., osteoarthritis, fractures, failed previous surgery). This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, the Bencox Hip System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
