Intended Use
Synthes Button Plate is intended for augmentation of transosseous rotator cuff repair, especially in massive tears and reruptures in proximity to osteopenic bone
Device Story
Synthes Button Plate is a pre-bent titanium fixation device used in orthopedic surgery. It features seven holes designed to accommodate up to #5 sutures. The device is used by surgeons during rotator cuff repair procedures to provide structural augmentation, specifically for massive tears or reruptures where bone quality is compromised (osteopenic bone). By securing sutures through the plate, the device assists in stabilizing the repair, potentially improving outcomes in challenging clinical cases. It is MRI safe.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium. Dimensions: 0.7 mm thick, 10 mm wide, 17 mm long. Design: Pre-bent plate with seven suture holes. MRI safe. Mechanical fixation device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for augmentation of transosseous rotator cuff repair in patients with massive tears or reruptures, particularly those involving osteopenic bone.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Dear Ms. Musgnung:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
