Intended Use
The Synthes Curved Broad Plates are intended for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur, and tibia. They are also for use in fixation of peri-prosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone and non-unions or malunions. The Synthes Curved Condylar Plates are intended for buttressing multifragmentary distal femur fractures, including : supracondylar, intra-articular and extra-articular condylar fractures, peri-prosthetic fractures and fractures in normal or osteopenic bone, nonunions/malunions, and osteotomies of the femur.
Device Description
The Synthes LCP® Curved Plates have a slight curve to better match the anatomy of the bone. The plates have a limited contact profile design and includes combination dynamic compression/locking screw holes.
More Information

Not Applicable

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic plate and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device, Synthes Curved Broad Plates and Curved Condylar Plates, are intended for fixation of bones and fractures, which are structural and mechanical functions. They do not directly treat or prevent a disease, nor restore, modify, or correct a body function in a therapeutic sense.

No
Explanation: The device is described as plates intended for fixation of various long bones and fractures, indicating a therapeutic or reconstructive purpose rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly indicates that the device is a physical plate (Synthes LCP® Curved Plates) intended for bone fixation, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used in vitro (outside the body).
  • The Synthes Curved Broad Plates and Curved Condylar Plates are surgical implants used to fix bones in vivo (inside the body). Their purpose is mechanical support and stabilization of fractures.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant for bone fixation, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

§ 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.
