AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
Intended to buttress metaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus, medial tibial plateau and distal tibia. Also for use in the fixation of osteopenic bone and fixation of non-unions and malunions.
Device Description
Synthes Locking Compression Plate (LCP) System - T Plate is a buttress plate and screw system. The primary feature of the plate is round holes combined with locking screw holes. The locking screws form a locked, fixed angle construct with the plate, while the standard screws facilitate reduction and create compression between the plate and bone. The plates accept 4.5 mm cortex, 6.5 mm cancellous, 4.5 mm cannulated, 7.0 mm cannulated, 7.3 mm cannulated, 4.0 mm and 5.0 mm locking screws
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a mechanical plate and screw system for fracture fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "buttress plate and screw system" intended for "fixation of fractures" and "non-unions and malunions," which are uses consistent with therapeutic intervention to stabilize and heal bone.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "buttress plate and screw system" intended for the "fixation of osteopenic bone and fixation of non-unions and malunions." This clearly indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical plate and screw system, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to fix bone fractures. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a plate and screw system for bone fixation, which is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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 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 controls provisions of the Act. 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.

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 requirement, 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.
