Intended Use
The Synthes Single Vector Distractor with Detachable Feet is intended for use as a bone stabilizer and lengthener for conditions such as mandibular hypoplasia or post-traumatic defects of the mandible, where gradual bone distraction is required. The device is ideal for treating forms of clefts of the lip and palate, and congenital mandibular hypoplasia, such as Hemifacial Microsomia, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Nagers Syndrome, Pierre Robin Syndrome, Goldenhar Syndrome, Apert Syndrome, and Crouzon Syndrome. The Synthes Single Vector Distractor with Detachable Feet is also ideal for treating hypoplasias of an acquired origin such as from post-traumatic growth disorders associated with injury to the temporomandibular joint, temporomandibular ankylosis, and segmental loss of bone. The Synthes Single Vector Distractor with Detachable Feet can be used for stabilization and advancement of the mid-face, in which a deficiency of mid-facial bone requires gradual bone distraction. Such deficiencies include, but are not limited to Plagiocephaly, Trigonocephaly, Scaphocephaly, and Brachycephaly.
Device Description
The Synthes Single Vector Distractor with Detachable Feet is a subcutaneous bone distractor activated by a drive component. It features two telescoping components activated by a jack screw, fixed to the bone with bone screws. Bone lengthening and distraction are achieved by gradually activating the device. Upon removal, the telescoping components and jack screw are disengaged and removed, leaving the subcutaneous foot plates in the patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical bone distraction and stabilization, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used to stabilize and lengthen bone for various conditions like mandibular hypoplasia and post-traumatic defects, and to address deficiencies in mid-facial bone. These applications directly involve treating and rectifying medical conditions within the patient's body.

No
The device is described as a bone stabilizer and lengthener for therapeutic purposes, specifically for gradual bone distraction, not for identifying or diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, implantable bone distractor with mechanical components (telescoping components, jack screw, foot plates) and bone screws for fixation. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a device that is surgically implanted to physically manipulate bone (stabilize and lengthen). It is used within the body to treat structural conditions.

The device's function and application are entirely different from the purpose of an IVD.
