Intended Use
Synthes Trochanter Stabilization Plate (TSP) for DHS® is intended to treat stable and unstable intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, pertrochanteric and basilar neck fractures when used in conjunction with the Synthes Dynamic Hip Screw System (DHS®).
Device Description
The Synthes Trochanter Stabilization Plate for DHS is a component of the Synthes DHS System, which fits over the sideplate of the DHS. The spoon-shaped area of the TSP, which is proximal to the shaft, resides along the greater trochanter. Screw holes of the TSP shaft line up with the screw holes of the DHS plate to accept the 4.5 mm cortex screws used for fixation to the femoral shaft. Two screw slots accommodate the DHS lag screw and the anti-rotational screw located proximal to it. Synthes Trochanter Stabilization Plates are provided both pre-sterilized by gamma radiation and nonsterile.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and surgical procedures, with no mention of AI or ML terms, image processing, or data analysis.

No
The device is a surgical implant designed to stabilize fractures, which is a structural and mechanical function, not a therapeutic one that involves treating disease or restoring health through non-structural means.

No
The device is described as a plate for fracture fixation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical plate made of material, intended to be implanted as part of a surgical system. It is a hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device description: The Synthes Trochanter Stabilization Plate is a surgical implant used to stabilize bone fractures in the femur. It is a physical device that is surgically implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat bone fractures, not to analyze biological specimens.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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.
