Intended Use
The Friedl Gliding Nail System is an all-purpose locking nail system for ensuring primary load stability in: - pertrochanteric femoral fractures - - subtrochanteric femoral fractures and - - lateral femoral neck fractures. - Internal fixation with the long Fried! Gliding Nail is indicated in all combination injuries involving the lateral femoral neck or trochanter region and femoral shaft fractures. Thanks to its biomechanical characteristics, the Friedl Gliding Nail system is also suitable for medial femoral neck fractures with retention of the head and simple femoral shaft fractures down to the distal metaphysis. Gliding nail fixation can also be used to secure pathological fractures or to provide weightbearing stability after varus and valgus revision osteotomies of the proximal femur.
Device Description
The FRIEDL Gliding Nail System is an all-purpose locking nail system for primary load stability in pertrochanteric femoral fractures, subtrochanteric femoral fractures, and lateral femoral neck fractures. This system consists of several sizes of intramedullary nails, femoral neck blades, and distal locking pins. The Fried Gliding Nail System is made of Wrought High Nitrogen Stainless Steel according to ISO 5832-9.

No
The document describes a mechanical implant system for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is an orthopedic implant (nail system) used for internal fixation of femoral fractures, not a therapeutic device in the sense of delivering treatment like heat, light, or medication.

No

The device is an orthopedic implant (locking nail system) used for internal fixation of femoral fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "locking nail system" consisting of "intramedullary nails, femoral neck blades, and distal locking pins," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Friedl Gliding Nail System is an implantable device used for the internal fixation of bone fractures in the femur. It is a surgical implant, not a device that analyzes biological samples.

The information provided describes a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for surgical treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Image /page/0/Picture/3 description: The image shows a caduceus symbol, which is often associated with medicine and healthcare. The symbol features a staff with two snakes coiled around it, and a pair of wings at the top. The staff is straight and vertical, while the snakes are intertwined in a symmetrical pattern. The wings are spread out on either side of the staff, adding to the overall visual balance of the symbol.
