Intended Use
The Synthes Midfacial System is a plate and screw system, manufactured from commercially pure (CP) titanium, and is intended for use in selective trauma of the midface and craniofacial skeleton: craniofacial surgery; reconstructive procedures; and selective orthognathic surgery of the maxilla and chin.
Device Description
The Synthes Midfacial System is a plate and screw system, manufactured from commercially pure (CP) titanium, and is intended for use in selective trauma of the midface and craniofacial skeleton: craniofacial surgery; reconstructive procedures; and selective orthognathic surgery of the maxilla and chin. The plates are available in a variety of configurations to accommodate various fracture sites, and attach to bone via 1.3 mm or 1.7 mm self-tapping screws, with a low plate/screw profile.

No
The description details a mechanical plate and screw system made of titanium, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No.
The device is a plate and screw system for fracture fixation and reconstructive procedures, not a device used for treating diseases or improving health outcomes in a therapeutic sense, but rather a structural support.

No
The device is a plate and screw system ("Synthes Midfacial System") used for surgical fixation in the midface and craniofacial skeleton, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "plate and screw system, manufactured from commercially pure (CP) titanium," which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Synthes Midfacial System is a plate and screw system made of titanium, intended for surgical implantation to fix bones in the midface and craniofacial skeleton.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures to treat trauma, perform reconstructive surgery, and selective orthognathic surgery. This involves direct intervention on the patient's body, not the analysis of specimens.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant device, not a device used for testing samples outside of the body.

Device: Synthes Midfacial System, as compared to the Howmedica Luhr Pan Fixation System.

The Synthes Midfacial System is a plate and screw system, manufactured from commercially pure (CP) titanium, and is intended for use in selective trauma of the midface and craniofacial skeleton: craniofacial surgery; reconstructive procedures; and selective orthognathic surgery of the maxilla and chin. The plates are available in a variety of configurations to accommodate various fracture sites, and attach to bone via 1.3 mm or 1.7 mm self-tapping screws, with a low plate/screw profile.

The Howmedica Luhr Pan Fixation System, manufactured from Vitallium® alloy, is also intended for use in selective trauma of the midface and craniofacial skeleton; craniofacial surgery; reconstructive procedures; and selective orthognathic surgery of the maxilla and chin. The plates are also available in a variety of configurations to accommodate various fracture sites. and attach to bone via 1.3 mm or 1.5mm self-tapping screws, with a low plate/screw profile.

Synthes will provide the device non-sterile. Of course, non-sterile devices must be sterilized prior to use: moist heat sterilization is recommended

Based on mechanical test results, the Synthes Midfacial System is equivalent to the Howmedica Luhr Pan Fixation System,.
