More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for orthopedic surgery and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is an implant intended to replace the proximal end of the radius to alleviate pain, crepitation, and decreased motion resulting from degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities, and to primary replacement after fracture of the radial head. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it is used to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The device is an implant for replacing the proximal end of the radius, not a tool for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is treatment through replacement, not identification or detection of diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a radial head implant, which is a physical, hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Avanta Orthopaedics Radial Head implant is a physical implant designed to replace a part of the bone (the proximal end of the radius). It is surgically implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "replacement of the proximal end of the radius" due to various conditions affecting the joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, which falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
