The Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery are intended for use in the treatment of fractures and reconstructive procedures of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and non-weight bearing fixation. including cranial bone fixation, brow fixation and orbital fixation. Each device is intended for single use only and only in conjunction with other titanium and titanium alloy implants.

Device Description

The modified screw designs for use in conjunction with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery includes titanium alloy screws of varying diameters and lengths and may be used for fixation of unalloyed, commercially pure titanium and titanium allov plates to the craniofacial bony tissue.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery) which asserts "substantial equivalence" to previously marketed predicate devices.

The document states: "All of the technical characteristics are substantially equivalent to the corresponding characteristics of the predicate devices, and any minor differences raise no new issues of safety and efficacy." This indicates that the device's characteristics were compared to existing, approved devices, and no new studies demonstrating performance against specific acceptance criteria were necessary for this 510(k) clearance process.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the table or address points 2 through 9, as they pertain to a type of study that was not described or performed for this specific submission based on the provided text.

Dear Ms. Jones:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), 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 898.
