More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for internal fixation of fractures and reconstruction of humeral bone, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as an internal wire fixation device used for "internal fixation of fractures and/or reconstruction of the humeral bone". This indicates it is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or detect medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "internal wire fixation device," which is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Humerus Wires device is an implantable device used for internal fixation of fractures within the body.

The description clearly states its purpose is to be "implanted in the humerus for internal fixation of fractures and/or reconstruction of the humeral bone." This is a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
