Intended Use
ARIX Humerus System is indicated for fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies and nonunions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone.
Device Description
The ARIX Humerus System is rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws in various configurations, shapes and sizes. The ARIX Humerus System is consists of plates and screws. The ARIX Humerus System is made of Pure Titanium and Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V), which meet ASTM F67, Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications, and ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium- 6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications, which h are widely used for surgical implants with well-known biocompatibility. The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws vary essentially through different lengths and diameters. It also includes various manual surgical instruments, as drill bits, driver shafts and depth gauge. It also includes various manual surgical instruments, such as hand body, driver, drill bits, depth gauge, drill sleeve, forceps, drill guide block, sleeve handle and drill guide. The ARIX Humerus System not provided sterile. It is required to be sterilized via autoclave method to reach a SAL of 10-6 by the hospital prior to surgery.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components (plates, screws, instruments) and materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any features that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are bench tests evaluating mechanical properties, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is indicated for fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and nonunions of the proximal humerus, which are conditions that require treatment to restore function and mitigate symptoms. This clearly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The ARIX Humerus System is a rigid fixation system consisting of plates and screws used for treating fractures and other conditions of the proximal humerus. It is an implantable device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like plates, screws, and surgical instruments, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, the ARIX Humerus System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the surgical fixation of fractures, dislocations, osteotomies, and nonunions of the proximal humerus. This is a therapeutic and structural purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device consists of plates, screws, and surgical instruments. These are physical implants and tools used in surgery.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device provides rigid fixation to stabilize bone fragments. This is a mechanical action, not a chemical or biological test performed on samples outside the body.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no indication that this device is used to test samples of blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids outside of the body to diagnose a condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ARIX Humerus System is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's bone during a procedure.

§ 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.
