Intended Use
The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Intramedullary Nail is a single-use device intended for use in the fixation of fractures of the humerus. Specific indications include all types of fractures and pseudoarthroses occurring between the surgical neck of the humerus and 3 cm proximal to the olecranon fossa.
Device Description
The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Intramedullary Nail is an intramedullary rod made up of several pins that provide elastic fixation of humeral fractures. The cylindrical, rod-like base of the nail is tapered and is preloaded with either four or five pins. A bolt system holds the tips of the pins together until the nail is properly inserted, at which time the bolt is removed back through the canal and the pins diverge and return to their preconditioned position. The cylindrical base that holds the pins contains a screw hole through which a screw can be inserted for distal locking. Distal locking is required for the humeral nail.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a physical implant (intramedullary nail) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the fixation of bone fractures, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an intramedullary nail used for the fixation of fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical intramedullary nail made of pins and a bolt system, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "fixation of fractures of the humerus." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to stabilize bone fractures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device (an intramedullary nail) made of pins and a bolt system. This is a medical device used for structural support, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information contains no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Intramedullary Nail is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation.
