No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are biomechanical tests comparing the strength of the device to a predicate.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used to provide fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, which is a structural support function rather than an active treatment or prevention of a medical condition. It aids in the healing process by stabilizing, but it doesn't directly treat or cure the underlying condition.

No

Explanation: The device, the Tandry Q-Locking Plate System, is an orthopedic implant intended to provide fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. It is used for structural support, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "various sized plates, screws and instruments," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Tandry Q-Locking Plate System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. This is a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of plates, screws, and instruments designed for surgical implantation and bone fixation.
  • 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 treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The Tandry Q-Locking Plate System is an implantable medical device used inside the body for structural support and fixation.
