Intended Use
The TRIWAY® TTC Arthrodesis System is intended for use in tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis and treatment of trauma to the hindfoot and distal tibia. Examples include: - Post-traumatic and degenerative arthritis involving both ankle and subtalar joints - Rheumatoid arthritis with severe deformity - Revision of failed ankle arthrodesis with subtalar involvement or with insufficient talar body - Revision of failed total ankle arthroplasty with subtalar intrusion - Talar deficiency conditions, including avascular necrosis (requiring a tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis) - Neuroarthropathy or neuromuscular deformity or other neuromuscular disease with severe deformity of the ankle, including Charcot foot - Severe pilon fractures with trauma to the subtalar joint - Malunited tibial pilon fractures The addition of an IBS™ 6.5mm compression screw through the subtalar joint and through the nail is required.
Device Description
The TRIWAY® Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) Arthrodesis System is composed of an angulated nail available in several sizes and different screws for bony fixation. Rigid fixation is achieved by screws. An instrument set is available for the bone preparation, screw sizing and insertion of the TRIWAY® TTC Arthrodesis System. A specific targeting device is available for the positioning and the insertion of the different cotter screws and the I.B.S® 6.5mm compression screw, which is inserted in an oblique way to provide additional compression throughout the nail, between the calcaneus and the talus. Sizes: The TRIWAY® Arthrodesis Nail is available in several sizes, with left and right versions (diameter 10, 11, 12mm, lengths from 160mm to 250mm). Cotter screws are available in 5.0mm diameter, with length ranging from 25 to 110mm by 5mm increment. Material: The TRIWAY® TTC Arthrodesis System implants (nail and screws) are manufactured from Ti6Al4V, as per ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F136. Single use: The TRIWAY® TTC Arthrodesis System is designed for single use only. Sterilization: The TRIWAY® TTC Arthrodesis System is supplied sterile, using gamma irradiation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended surgical use of a bone fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of various hindfoot conditions, including arthritis, deformity, and trauma, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
This device is an arthrodesis system, which is a surgical implant used for fixation and fusion of bones, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of an angulated nail and screws made of Ti6Al4V, which are physical implants. It also mentions an instrument set and a targeting device, all of which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system for fusing bones in the ankle and hindfoot (tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis). This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an angulated nail and screws made of titanium, designed for rigid fixation of bones. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • 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 compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is a surgical implant used in vivo to treat a medical condition.
