Intended Use
The Hoffmann® II Miami Post is used for treating fractures, performing arthrodeses, and distraction osteogenesis of long bones, i.e., tibia, femur and humerus. It also provides stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures and where soft tissue injury precludes the use of other fracture treatments such as IM rodding or casting. It is to be used to provide a hybrid construct combing any 6mm external fixation ring to the Hoffmann® II rod to rod and pin to rod clamps. The post will extend the use of the Hoffmann® II External Fixation System to Hybrid frames that utilize circular rings with 6mm mounting holes.
Device Description
The Hoffmann® II Miami Post is designed to connect rings with 6mm holes to Hoffmann®II rod to rod and pin to rod clamps. This Post attaches the circular fixation rings to the external fixations rods. The Post is manufactured from Stainless Steel and is machined from bar stock.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components for external fixation, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, data analysis, or algorithms.

Yes
The device is used for treating fractures and performing arthrodeses, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No
The device is described as an external fixation system used for treating fractures, performing arthrodeses, and distraction osteogenesis, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic processes.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is manufactured from Stainless Steel and is machined from bar stock, indicating it is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a surgical implant/external fixation component used for treating fractures, performing arthrodeses, and distraction osteogenesis of long bones. It is a physical component used on the body, not for testing samples from the body.

The information provided about the device's function, materials, and intended use all point to it being a medical device used in surgical procedures, not an IVD.

§ 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.
