Dear Mr. Daly:

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.

ContraindicationsNo contraindications specific to these devices.
Non-Clinical Performance TestingTo demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the subject devices and support the substantial equivalence to their predicates, the following testing was performed:• Computational Finite Element Analysis simulating a mechanical static bending construct test, demonstrated subject plates were non-inferior regarding their bending strength.• Magnetic Resonance compatibility testing has been performed to establish MR Conditional parameters for the subject VOLT™ Ankle Trauma 2.7/3.5 Plating System & VOLT™ Calcaneus 2.7 Plating System.• Biocompatibility testing including Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Acute Systemic & Pyrogenicity, Subacute/Subchronic, Genotoxicity, Implantation, Chronic & Carcinogenicity Testing• Reprocessing (disinfection, cleaning and resterilization) of Non-Sterile devices
Summary of Technological CharacteristicsThe subject devices are an iteration on prior DePuy Synthes plating systems. Hence, the subject devices have the same technological characteristics in terms of design, material, and fundamental technology as that of the predicate devices.

Page 3 of 3

The plates are offered in similar shapes, number of holes, accepted screw sizes, and are in the same materials as that of the predicate devices.However, there are some differences:1. Dimensions: • The different dimensions allow more targeted screw placement and is expected to be a more stable construct than their predicate devices.2. 2.7 / 3.5mm VOLT™ Locking Hole: • The locking hole technology present on the VOLT™ plates is the VOLT™ Locking Hole.
Clinical Performance DataClinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.
Substantial EquivalenceThe subject devices have a similar intended use and similar indications as their predicate devices. Additionally, the subject devices are an iteration on prior DePuy Synthes plating systems and are therefore similar in terms of design, material, and fundamental technology.The non-clinical performance data and analytic evaluations included in this premarket notification demonstrate that any differences in technological characteristics of the subject device compared to the predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. The proposed devices are at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
ConclusionIt is concluded that the information provided demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the subject devices to their predicate devices.

§ 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.
