The provided text describes a traditional external fixation device and its intended uses in orthopedic surgery. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices.
Yes
The device is used for "Limb salvage from traumatic injury," "Fracture treatment," "Reconstruction of extremities with deformity and dysfunction," and "Arthrodesis," all of which are therapeutic applications.
No
The provided text describes "External Fixation" which is used for treatment, limb salvage, and reconstruction in orthopedic surgery. There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose conditions or determine the nature of a disease. Its applications clearly fall under interventional or therapeutic categories rather than diagnostic ones.
No
The provided text describes the intended use of an external fixation device, which is a physical medical device used in orthopedic surgery. There is no mention of software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device's application in orthopedic surgery for treating fractures, limb salvage, reconstruction, and arthrodesis. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a surgical implant or external support device.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information for diagnosis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's intended use falls squarely within the realm of surgical intervention and support, not in vitro diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
External Fixation is useful in many areas of orthopedic surgery. Following are the major categories of application:
-
- Limb salvage from traumatic injury.
-
- Fracture treatment (i.e. long bone fracture, including the tibia, femur, humerous, radius, and ulnar bones).
-
- Reconstruction of extremities with deformity and dysfunction.
-
- Arthrodesis.
The surgeon must carefully evaluate the purpose for external fixation in the individual patient if the treatment is to be successful. Consideration should be given to the following factors necessary for the successful application of an external fixator. Fracture osteotmy stability, soft tissue viability, adjacent function or injury, and functional demands of the patient.
- Arthrodesis.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
