No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of bone plates and screws, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as a system of bone plates and screws intended for the fixation of bone fragments after fractures, osteotomies, or non-unions, which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is a plate and screw system for internal fixation of bone fragments, typically after fractures, osteotomies, or non-unions. Its intended use is to mechanically stabilize bone, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of bone plates and bone screws, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for the fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details bone plates and screws designed for internal fixation of bone fragments. These are physical implants used within the body.
- 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.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for surgical repair.

Device Description
The aap LOQTEQ® VA Distal Tibia Plate System consists of bone plates and bone screws, to be implanted by a surgeon in order to achieve an internal fixation of bone fragments typically after fractures, osteotomies or non-unions.
The system includes anatomically preformed and angle-stable small fragment plates, which are available as right and left versions as well as in different lengths. The geometrical shape of those plates is based on the anatomy and biomechanical stress of the distal tibia/distal fibula. A flat plate design, smooth transition of cross sections, chamfers and roundings preserve soft tissue irritation. The tapered tip of those shafts enable a minimal invasive surgery. For a minimization of the contact between bone (tibia) and plate, all holes of the shaft zone are tunneled and the bottom of the plates is structured.
All plate holes, with exception of the oblong hole, are compatible with unidirectional locking screws as well as cortical screws. The use of locking screws is state of the art and particularly important in osteoporotic bones or for stabilizing comminuted fractures. The elongated hole can be used to adjust the height as well as the initial fixation of the plate. The use as a conventional bone plate and screw osteosynthesis is also possible with standard cortical screws.
The System incorporates:
• LOQTEQ® VA Distal Anterolateral Tibia Plate 3.5, right/left
• LOQTEQ® VA Distal Medial Tibia Plate 3.5, right/left
• LOQTEQ® VA Distal Fibula Plate 2.7/3.5, right/left
• LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, small head, T15, self-tapping
• Cortical Screw 2.5, small head, T8, self-tapping
• LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 2.7, small head, T8, self-tapping
• Cortical Screw 3.5, T15, self-tapping
• LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, T15, self-tapping
• LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, small head, T15, self-tapping
Material: All Implants are made of: Ti6Al4V (ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3)
Surface: The surface of the plates is generated by an automatic slide finishing, the so-called "KeramoFinish". Those surfaces correspond to polished surfaces. The surface of the LOQTEQ® Cortical Screws 3.5 are slightly polished and anodised. The surface of the Cortical Screws 3.5 and Cancellous Screws 4.0 are fine blasted and anodised as well.

§ 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.
