No
The summary describes a computer-assisted surgical navigation system that uses positional information and pre-defined steps for registration and calculation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any learning or adaptive capabilities. The performance studies focus on hardware, sterilization, usability, and accuracy testing against mechanical fixtures and models, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

No.
The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation system designed to assist surgeons during orthopedic procedures by providing guidance for implant positioning and alignment, rather than directly treating a condition or restoring health.

No

The device is described as a "computer-controlled system intended to assist the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes" and "facilitates the accurate positioning of implants." It provides "positional information" and calculates mechanical axes for instrument positioning. This description indicates a surgical navigation and assistive tool, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it comprises a "single use computer module and reusable instrumentation" and mentions "System hardware verification/validation testing". This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the OrthAlign Plus® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • OrthAlign Plus® System Function: The description clearly states that the OrthAlign Plus® System is a computer-assisted surgical navigation system. Its purpose is to assist the surgeon during orthopedic surgical procedures by providing guidance and measurements related to anatomical structures and instrumentation. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes and positioning implants during surgery. This is a surgical aid, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the system's components (computer module, sensor) and how it generates positional information during surgery. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the OrthAlign Plus® System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
