More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a traditional metal plate for surgical fixation and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for arthrodesis (fusion) of the ankle joint, which is a therapeutic procedure to treat conditions like arthritis or instability.

No
The device description states its purpose is for "arthrodesis of the ankle joint and distal tibia" and to "promote fusion or 'arthrodesis' of the ankle," which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "minimally contoured metal plate" and utilizes "traditional internal plate/screw fixation," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "arthrodesis of the ankle joint and distal tibia," which is a surgical procedure to fuse bones. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "minimally contoured metal plates that utilize traditional internal plate/screw fixation." This is a physical implant used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens.

Therefore, the Synthes Ankle Arthrodesis Plates are a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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 Mr. Hull:

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 (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. 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.
