Intended Use
The Zeta MultiZone Locking Nail System is intended to provide temporary stabilization of various types of fractures, malunions and nonunions of the femur and tibia. The nails are inserted using an opened or closed technique and can be statically or dynamically locked.
Device Description
The Zeta MultiZone Locking Nail System consists of a family of round nails used for intramedullary nailing of femoral and tibial fractures. The system includes two styles of femoral nails, tibial nails, reconstruction nails, screws and end caps. The nails are available in varying diameters and lengths and have proximal and distal holes for cross-locking. The nails and additional components are fabricated from either titanium alloy or stainless steel.

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

No.
The device is described as providing temporary stabilization for bone fractures, malunions, and nonunions of the femur and tibia, which falls under structural support rather than directly treating or preventing a disease or condition. While it aids in healing, it is a mechanical support device.

No
The device is described as a "Locking Nail System" intended to stabilize fractures, malunions, and nonunions of the femur and tibia. This indicates a therapeutic or supportive function rather than a diagnostic one. There is no mention of the device being used to detect, identify, or monitor conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like nails, screws, and end caps made of titanium alloy or stainless steel, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "temporary stabilization of various types of fractures, malunions and nonunions of the femur and tibia." This describes a surgical implant used to treat a physical condition within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of "round nails used for intramedullary nailing of femoral and tibial fractures," along with screws and end caps. These are physical devices implanted into the bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.
