More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant for fracture fixation and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as an implantable orthopedic trauma device for fixation of pertrochanteric fractures, which is a supportive and reparative function, not a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "implantable orthopedic trauma device" used for the "fixation of pertrochanteric fractures." This indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "implantable orthopedic trauma device," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "fixation of pertrochanteric fractures." This describes a surgical procedure to stabilize broken bones, not a test performed on samples from the human body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "implantable orthopedic trauma device." This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, the Fixano D.S.S. System is an orthopedic surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
