Intended Use
Synthes (USA) LCP Proximal Femur Hook Plate is intended for fractures of the femur including: fractures of the trochanteric region, trochanteric simple, cervicotrochanteric, trochanterodiaphyseal, multifragmentary pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, intertrochanteric reversed, or transverse or with additional fracture of medial cortex. Fractures of the proximal end of the femur combined with ispsilateral shaft fractures, metastatic fracture of the proximal femur and osteotomies of the proximal femur.
Device Description
The LCP Proximal Femur Hook Plates are contoured to match the anatomy of the proximal femur with a limited contact low profile design. The plate has dynamic compression holes combined with conical shaped threaded screw holes, which accept 4.5 mm cortex, 4.5 mm shaft screws, 4.0 mm or 5.0 mm locking screws, 5.0mm cannulated screws, and 7.3 mm cannulated locking & cannulated conical screws. The plates are available in a various lengths.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (a bone plate) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as "LCP Proximal Femur Hook Plate" and is intended for treating various fractures and osteotomies of the femur, which are medical conditions, making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a bone plate intended for the treatment of fractures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable plate and associated screws, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Synthes LCP Proximal Femur Hook Plate is a surgical implant used to fix fractures in the femur. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat fractures of the femur, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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. Boyle:

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 10 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. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
