No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and surgical tools, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.

Yes
The device is intended for stabilizing tibial fractures, directly contributing to the treatment and healing of an injury.

No

The device is indicated for stabilizing tibial fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. Its description details its physical characteristics and insertion tools, not any diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a solid cylinder, screws, end caps, an impacting anvil, and an alignment tower, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for stabilizing tibral fractures." This is a therapeutic purpose, directly treating a medical condition within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (a nail, screws, and insertion tools) used in surgery. This is a medical device, but not one used for in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical implant used to stabilize a fracture.
