Surgical Guides and Anatomical Models:
The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System surgical guides and anatomical models are intended to be used as surgical instruments to assist in preoperative planning and/or in guiding the marking of bone and/or guiding surgical instruments in non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies in the foot for adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System surgical guides are intended for single use only. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System surgical guides should only be used when the anatomic landmarks necessary for pre-operative planning can be clearly identified on the patient's radiographic images (i.e., CT).
Fixation Plates:
The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System fixation plates are indicated for use in trauma, general surgery, and reconstructive procedures of the foot for adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System fixation plates are intended for single use only. The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System fixation plates should only be used when the anatomic landmarks necessary for pre-operative planning can be clearly identified on the patient's radiographic images (i.e., CT).
The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System is a collection of two individual pieces of software and associated additive manufacturing equipment intended to provide a variety of outputs to support operations in the foot. The system uses electronic medical images of the patient's anatomy and input from the physician to manipulate original patient images for planning and executing surgery. The patient specific outputs from the system include anatomical models, surgical guides, fixation plates, and patient-specific case reports.
The MedCAD® AccuStride™ System includes patient specific metal bone plating used in conjunction with commercially available metal bone screws for the fixation to bone in trauma, general surgery, and reconstructive procedures of the foot. The design and dimensions of each plate within the envelope specification is based upon the patient's anatomical data (i.e., CT scan), and the intended anatomy to be fixated as determined from input provided by the surgeon. The subject device is not intended to be bent or modified in surgery. Plates are additively manufactured from Ti-6AL-4V Extra Low Interstitial (ELI) titanium alloy and are provided clean but non-sterile for end-user sterilization. Plates are fastened using commercially available locking and non-locking bone screws with diameters ranging from 2.0mm to 4.0mm and lengths ranging from 10mm to 60mm. Plates have been pre-validated for use with locking and non-locking screws from the Osteomed Extremilock Foot Plating System (K131445) and the Osteomed Extremilock Ankle Plating System (K133691). When use of an alternate screw to the pre-validated screw offerings is desired, users must consult the Surgical Technique Guide for information.
Following the MedCAD® Quality System and specific Work Instructions, trained employees utilize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software to manipulate 3-D medical Computed Tomography (CT) images to create patient-specific physical and digital outputs. The process requires clinical input and review from the physician during planning and prior to delivery of the final outputs. The system is operated only by trained MedCAD employees, and the physician does not directly input information. The physician provides input for model manipulation and interactive feedback through viewing of digital models of system outputs that are modified by the engineer during the planning session.

Dear Mr. Gracyalny:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

§ 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.
