Intended Use
The Revolution External Plating System is indicated for treatment of a variety of broken or deformed bones: - · Stabilizes open and/or unstable fracture of complex proximal and/or distal tibial fractures - · Fusions of the joints and bone (hand, foot, long-bone) - · Correction of bone or soft tissue deformities - · Correction of segmental or non-segmental bone, soft tissue defects or bone loss - · Neutralization of fractures stabilized with limited internal fixation - · Adult and Pediatric subgroups except newborns
Device Description
Revolution is an external open ring fixation system to provide stability for long bone fractures, limb lengthening, and correction of bone deformities all at a distance from the operative focus. When used with other components this device stabilizes open and/or unstable fractures of long bones including intracapsular, intertrochanteric, supracondylar, or condylar. It is also used for joint fusions and limb lengthening of deformity corrections which involve cutting the bone. A plating system consists of a stacked welded plate module and a footplate. These two plates are connected by four super-struts attached by the surgeon to give the best support for the patient. Once assembled, the module is attached to the patient's limb with half-pins or wires. The halfpins are threaded pins with a buttress thread form. Half pins come in three sizes, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. Half pins comes in 215mm overall length, but various thread lengths to encompass the size of the bone. Wires come In 1.8mm in diameter and come in 400mm overall lengths. They're meant for traction to the bone. These are inserted through or to the bone and attached to the frame to create a stable construction patient's limb thereby allowing the surgeon to correct or repair the patient's indications.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function in stabilizing bones. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not studies evaluating algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is used to stabilize broken or deformed bones, facilitate fusions of joints and bones, and correct deformities, which are all therapeutic interventions for medical conditions.

No.
The "Revolution External Plating System" is a device used for stabilizing bones and correcting deformities, and its indications for use and device description do not involve diagnosing any medical conditions. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as plates, struts, half-pins, and wires, which are hardware used for external fixation.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Revolution External Plating System is a mechanical device used to stabilize and correct broken or deformed bones. It is surgically implanted or attached externally to the patient's limb. It does not analyze any biological samples.

The device's function is entirely focused on providing structural support and facilitating the healing or correction of bone issues directly on the patient's body.

§ 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.
