Intended Use
Synthes RIA System is intended to clear the medullary canal of bone marrow and debris and to effectively size the medullary canal for the acceptance of an intramedullary implant or prosthesis.
Device Description
The RIA System consists of two types of components; a series of disposable reamer assemblies and reusable drive shafts. The RIA is a device designed for expedited reaming of a medullary canal in preparation of internal fixation. The device includes a free rotating reamer head connected to the distal end of the manifold/tube assembly. The manifold allows both irrigation and aspiration during the reaming process. Irrigation is passed through the cannulation of the reamer and aspiration is drawn from the rear of the flutes in the reamer. The RIA coupled with the Drive Shaft serves as a flexible reaming device and is available in reaming diameters ranging from 9 mm to 24 mm and range in 200 mm to 550 mm in effective reaming lengths.
More Information

N/A

No
The description focuses on mechanical components for reaming and irrigation/aspiration, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functions.

No
The device is used to clear and size the medullary canal for an implant, which is a preparatory step for treatment, not the treatment itself.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical reaming system used to clear and size the medullary canal for an implant. It is an operative device, not one that provides diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like disposable reamer assemblies, reusable drive shafts, a reamer head, manifold/tube assembly, and mentions irrigation and aspiration, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for clearing the medullary canal of bone marrow and debris and sizing it for an implant. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device with reamer assemblies and drive shafts used for physical manipulation within the bone. It involves irrigation and aspiration during a surgical process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, urine, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. The Synthes RIA System is used in vivo (inside the body) during a surgical procedure.
