No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a system of mechanical bone plates and screws made of stainless steel and titanium. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any other components that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical testing standards.
Yes
The device, consisting of plates and screws, is indicated for treating fractures of various bones, providing fixation and stabilization, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention to restore health.
No
The device, CARE BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System, is an osteosynthesis plating system designed for treating fractures. Its function is to provide fixation of fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose. The description details various plates and screws used for internal fixation of bones, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like plates and screws made of Stainless Steel and Titanium, which are hardware.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is a system of bone plates and screws made of stainless steel and titanium. These are implants designed to be surgically placed within the body to fix bone fractures.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat bone fractures by providing fixation. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not on a specimen outside the body.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of surgical implants for orthopedic use, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
