Intended Use
The Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is used in conjunction with titanium bone screws to provide fixation following Proximal Tibial or Distal Femoral opening wedge osteotomies. The A/P sloped plates of the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System are used following Proximal Tibial opening wedge osteotomies where tibial slope adjustments are required. Specifically for use in treatment of non-union, malunion, and fractures of proximal tibia and distal femur including simple, comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, combinations of lateral wedge and depression, and fractures with associated shaft fractures. It is intended to be used with adequate post-operative immobilization.
Device Description
The Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is comprised of plates and screws designed in various sizes to address patient needs. The plates are offered in an A/P sloped tibial plate, a non-sloped tibial plate, and a femoral plate design. The primary feature of the plates is a self-contained locking hole design. The screws are available in a cancellous and cortical design.

No
The summary describes a system of plates and screws for bone fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for fixation following osteotomies to treat conditions like non-union, malunion, and fractures, which directly address a medical condition and restore function.

No
The device, the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System, is described as plates and screws used for fixation following osteotomies and treatment of fractures. It is an orthopedic implant system for surgical intervention, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "plates and screws," which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is comprised of plates and screws used for fixation following surgical procedures (osteotomies) on bones (proximal tibia and distal femur). This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support and stability.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is a surgical device/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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE:

The Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is comprised of plates and screws designed in various sizes to address patient needs. The plates are offered in an A/P sloped tibial plate, a non-sloped tibial plate, and a femoral plate design. The primary feature of the plates is a self-contained locking hole design. The screws are available in a cancellous and cortical design.

The Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is used in conjunction with titanium bone screws to provide fixation following Proximal Tibial or Distal Femoral opening wedge osteotomies. The A/P sloped plates of the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System are used following Proximal Tibial opening wedge osteotomies where tibial slope adjustments are required.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY

The Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices where basic features and intended uses are the same. Any differences between the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System and the predicate devices are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness. Based on the information submitted, Arthrex, Inc. has determined that the Arthrex Titanium Opening Wedge Osteotomy System is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.
