Intended Use
The Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Distal Humerus System is indicated for intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus, comminuted supracondylar fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal humerus.
Device Description
The Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Distal Humerus System consists of medial and postero-lateral distal humerus plates of various lengths and 2.7 mm locking screws. The plates are pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the distal humerus with a limited contact low profile design. The plate features locking compression holes and conical locking holes which accept 2.4, 3.5, & 4.0 mm cortex screws, 2.4, 2.7 & 3.5 mm locking screws, and 4.0 mm cancellous screws. The System will be available in Stainless Steel and Titanium.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a system of plates and screws for bone fixation, which are mechanical devices. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device, a Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Distal Humerus System, is a surgical implant used to stabilize fractures and non-unions of the distal humerus. While it aids in the healing process and recovery of function, its primary role is mechanical stabilization rather than directly administering therapy or treating a disease. It facilitates the body's natural healing rather than being a therapeutic agent itself.

No

The device is described as a system of plates and screws for treating fractures and non-unions of the distal humerus, indicating it is an orthopedic implant for surgical fixation, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like plates and screws, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Distal Humerus System is a system of plates and screws designed to be surgically implanted to fix fractures and other issues in the distal humerus (part of the upper arm bone).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for treating fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal humerus. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The device is an implantable orthopedic device, not an IVD.

§ 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:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 1, 2004 regarding the device named above. The product code was incorrectly listed as KTI. The correct product adde is listed above.

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 if(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 data of the Medical Device in 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 (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 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.
