Intended Use
The Arthrex Humeral Fracture Plates and Screws are intended to provide internal fixation of fractures of the humerus.
Device Description
The Arthrex Humeral Fracture Plate is designed as a spoon shaped plate to The Anthrox fiamonee lateral proximal aspect of the humerus. The plate is available in two size configurations, standard and long. Spherical holes with available in the for angular locking of the screws in the plate. Smaller holes in the center of the plate allow for temporary fixation during surgery with K-wires. Peripheral holes allow re-approximation of soft tissue with suture, such as FiberWire®. The screws are available in various lengths in two design options, cortical and cancellous. The cortical screws are 3.5 mm in diameter and the cancellous screws are 4.0 mm in diameter.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of the plates and screws for fracture fixation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device provides internal fixation for fractures, which is a structural repair, not a therapeutic treatment aimed at restoring health through non-surgical means or addressing disease.

No
The device is described as a plate and screws used for internal fixation of humerus fractures, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes physical hardware components (plates and screws) intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Arthrex Humeral Fracture Plates and Screws are implants used for the internal fixation of bone fractures. They are physically placed inside the body to stabilize broken bones.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide internal fixation of fractures of the humerus," which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a device used for laboratory testing of 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.
