No
The summary describes a physical bone plate and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is used for trauma and reconstruction, which is a structural or mechanical purpose, not therapeutic.

No
The device, DRG Titanium Bone Plate, is described as being "intended for craniofacial and mandibular trauma and reconstruction," which implies it is a therapeutic or reconstructive device, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states "DRG Titanium Bone Plate," indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "craniofacial and mandibular trauma and reconstruction." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "DRG Titanium Bone Plate." This is a physical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

IVDs are devices used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body. This device is clearly intended for in vivo (in the body) use.
