No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a physical suture system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for fixation and immobilization of the jaw for conditions like fractures and dislocations, which directly contribute to the healing or stabilization of a medical condition.
No
The device is described as an adjustable flexible plastic band and suture system used for maxilla-mandibular fixation and immobilization, which are therapeutic and supportive functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polypropylene, polyester, and stainless steel (sutures, introducer, cheek retractor). It also details non-clinical testing related to mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and sterilization, which are characteristic of hardware medical devices. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, the MINNE TIES™ MMF Suture System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for mechanical fixation and immobilization of the jaw (maxilla-mandibular fixation) for surgical and post-surgical purposes. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device consists of sutures, an introducer, and a cheek retractor. These are all physical tools used for mechanical manipulation and support. There is no mention of reagents, analyzers, or any components designed to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device is clearly intended for a surgical/mechanical purpose related to jaw fixation, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MINNE TIES MMF Suture System is an adjustable flexible plastic band that wraps between and around a tooth to create an anchorage point for maxilla-mandibular fixation and immobilization. MINNE TIES MMF System is suitable for:
- Pre-operative fixation
- Per-operative fixation
- Short-term (up to 3 weeks) fixation for minimally displaced fractures
- Splintage post jaw dislocation

Device Description
The MINNE TIES MMF Suture System contains:
- Four (4) 1.0mm sized sutures
- Seven (7) 0.7mm sized sutures
- One (1) 0.5mm Sized suture
and are used to establish maxilla-mandibular fixation (MMF) and immobilization by applying independently balanced series of sutures bilaterally between and/or around the teeth in the interdental space (i.e. triangular apical embrasure). The sutures provide a stabilizing occlusive force allowing for short term (up to 3 weeks) fixation for minimally displaced fractures for pre-operative and per-operative fixation and splintage post jaw dislocation. An Introducer is used to advance sutures between and/or around the teeth. A cheek retractor is included with the system to organize the ties during the procedure.
The MINNE TIES MMF Sutures are made of polypropylene, polyester and stainless steel. The cheek retractor is made of polypropylene.
