Intended Use
The Osteo IC Retrograde/Antegrade Femoral Nail and its accessories are indicated for long bone fracture fixation, specifically femoral fracture fixation, which may include the following: - . Open and closed femoral fractures. - . Pseudarthrosis and correction osteotomy. - . Pathologic fractures, impending pathologic fractures, and tumor resections. - . Supracondylar fractures, including those with intra-articular extension. - . Ipsilateral femur/tibia fractures. - . Fractures proximal to a total knee arthroplasty. - . Fractures distal to a hip implant. - Nonunions and malunions. .
Device Description
The nut and washer for the Osteo IC Retrograde/Antegrade Femoral Nail are manufactured from ASTM F136-96 titanium alloy (Ti6Al-4V) and are anodized with a Type II coating process. The washer is 1.2mm thick, has a total diameter of 12mm, and a through-hole diameter of 5.2mm. The nut is T-shaped with an outer shaft diameter of 7mm, and inner shaft diameter of 5.5mm and a total length of 12mm. The head of the nut had a diameter of 12mm. The inner shaft of the nut is threaded in order to accommodate the threads of a locking screw. The washer is placed between the head of the locking screw and the bone surface. The nut is placed on the distal end of the screw. The 7mm diameter shaft of the nut sits below the surface of the bone, and the rounded 12mm diameter head of the nut will sit on the surface of the bone. All components of the Osteo IC Retrograde Femoral Nail are provided both sterile and non-sterile.

Not Found

No
The device description focuses solely on the material and physical dimensions of a femoral nail and its accessories, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for long bone fracture fixation, specifically femoral fracture fixation, to treat various fracture types and nonunions, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a femoral nail and its accessories used for "long bone fracture fixation," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, procedure.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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 "long bone fracture fixation, specifically femoral fracture fixation." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize bone fractures.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and dimensions of a femoral nail and its accessories (nut and washer), which are physical components implanted in the body.
  • 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.

Predicate Device Identification

The design and function of the Osteo IC Retrograde Femoral Nail nut and washer is substantially equivalent to the nut and washer of the predicate Richards Retrograde Nail. The subject and predicate systems offer femoral nails in varying lengths, and utilize a combination of locking screws, end caps, nuts, and washers.

Device Description

The nut and washer for the Osteo IC Retrograde/Antegrade Femoral Nail are manufactured from ASTM F136-96 titanium alloy (Ti6Al-4V) and are anodized with a Type II coating process. The washer is 1.2mm thick, has a total diameter of 12mm, and a through-hole diameter of 5.2mm. The nut is T-shaped with an outer shaft diameter of 7mm, and inner shaft diameter of 5.5mm and a total length of 12mm. The head of the nut had a diameter of 12mm. The inner shaft of the nut is threaded in order to accommodate the threads of a locking screw. The washer is placed between the head of the locking screw and the bone surface. The nut is placed on the distal end of the screw. The 7mm diameter shaft of the nut sits below the surface of the bone, and the rounded 12mm diameter head of the nut will sit on the surface of the bone. All components of the Osteo IC Retrograde Femoral Nail are provided both sterile and non-sterile.
