No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and materials of the plates and screws, and the performance studies are bench tests comparing mechanical equivalence to a predicate device. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven analysis.

Yes
The device is an orthopedic implant for internal fixation, alignment, and stabilization of forearm fractures, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an orthopedic implant system designed for internal fixation, alignment, and stabilization of forearm fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of metallic plates, bone screws, locking pins, and instruments, which are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the KLS Martin LINOS Wrist System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The KLS Martin LINOS Wrist System is a surgical implant used for the internal fixation, alignment, and stabilization of forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not used to test biological samples.

The description clearly indicates it's a system of metallic plates, screws, and pins for surgical procedures on the forearm. This falls under the category of surgical implants or orthopedic devices, not IVDs.
