Intended Use
The Osteonics Silkon" Stainless Steel Cable System is indicated for cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal trauma and/or the correction of scoliosis, and lordosis deformities. The Osteonics" Silkon" Stainless Steel Cable System is also indicated for trochanteric reattachment. sternotomy indications, and trauma to the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle.
Device Description
The Osteonics" Silkon" Stainless Steel Cable System consists of two designs: a single, multistrand, stainless steel cable with an individual monofilament wire leader and a stainless steel crimp; or one multi-strand, stainless steel, double cable with a monofilament Y-Leader and two stainless steel crimps.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use describe a mechanical cable system for surgical fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for medical conditions such as spinal trauma and deformities (scoliosis, lordosis), as well as trauma to various joints, which are all conditions that would typically be addressed by a therapeutic device. It is used for correction and reattachment, indicating a direct therapeutic purpose rather than just diagnosis.

No
The device, the Osteonics Silkon Stainless Steel Cable System, is described as a system of cables and crimps used for spinal trauma, correction of deformities, and reattachment in various anatomical sites. Its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section focuses on treatment and structural support rather than diagnosing conditions or identifying diseases. There is no mention of it performing any diagnostic functions like analyzing images, detecting biomarkers, or assessing physiological parameters for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of stainless steel cables and crimps, which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use describes the device being used in vivo (within the body) for surgical procedures related to spinal trauma, deformities, and trauma to various joints and the sternum. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical cable system made of stainless steel, designed for implantation or fixation within the body. This is consistent with a surgical implant or fixation device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, diagnostic purposes, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVDs.

Therefore, the Osteonics Silkon" Stainless Steel Cable System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
