Intended Use

Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plate is indicated for fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone.

Device Description

The Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plates are designed to match the anatomy of the proximal humerus. These plates can be applied to either the right or left humerus. The proximal portion of each plate has threaded holes that accept 3.5 mm or 2.7 mm screws. The distal portion of the plate has combination holes that allow the option of using 3.5 mm locking or cortex screws, or 4.0 mm cancellous screws to accomplish plate fixation. These plates will be offered as an addition to the Synthes Small Fragment LCP (formerly DCL) System.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plate, submitted to the FDA in 2001. A 510(k) submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily for proving specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria through a clinical study. Therefore, the information requested in the prompt, particularly regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance), and training set details, is not typically found in this type of regulatory document.

The document focuses on:

  • Device Description: The Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plates are designed to match the anatomy of the proximal humerus, with threaded and combination holes for various screw types. They are an addition to the Synthes Small Fragment LCP System.
  • Intended Use: Indicated for fractures, fracture-dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus, especially in osteopenic bone.
  • Materials: Available in Stainless Steel or Titanium.
  • Predicate Devices: Synthes Small Fragment Dynamic Compression Locking (DCL) System and De Puy Ace Symmetry Proximal Humerus Plate.
  • Regulatory Conclusion: The FDA determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Therefore, it is not possible to answer the detailed questions about acceptance criteria, study methodologies, and performance metrics from the provided text because these elements are not part of a 510(k) substantial equivalence submission for this type of medical device at the time this document was generated.

Dated: June 8. 2001 Received: June 11, 2001

Dear Mr. Hull:

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 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 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.

§ 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.
