Intended Use
The Orthofix Volar Distal Radial Plate is intended for the volar fixation of fractures and osteotomies involving the distal radius.
Device Description
The Volar Distal Radial Plate is an anatomically contoured, Delta-shaped plate intended for volar applications to the distal radius. The Plate features an angled head with two rows of holes for placement of screws and non-threaded pegs that will be placed distally on the radius to secure bone fragments and provide stabilization. If a bone graft is required, framed access to the site is made possible by the triangular opening in the plate that spans from the plate head to the distal portion of the shaft. The shaft of the Plate is placed proximally on the distal radius and it offers a variety of K-wire and screw placement options for secure fixation to the external surface of the bone. The Plate provides the stabilization and fixation necessary in the treatment of distal radius fractures and osteotomies to allow early functional use of the hand.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a bone plate, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended for the volar fixation of fractures and osteotomies involving the distal radius, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

The device is described as an anatomical plate for volar fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius, providing stabilization and fixation. It does not mention any function related to diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable plate made of metal, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "volar fixation of fractures and osteotomies involving the distal radius." This describes a surgical procedure to stabilize bone, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical plate designed to be implanted in the body to fix bone fragments. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. There is no mention of diagnostic purposes, measuring biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis or treatment decisions based on laboratory results.

This device is clearly an implantable surgical device used for orthopedic fixation.

The instruments that will be available with the Volar Distal Radial Plate and Bone Screws will include manual surgical instruments that will aid the surgeon in the application of the bone plate and insertion of the screws. Some examples of these instruments are pliers, multiple sizes of hex drivers, drill guides, and depth gauge. These instruments are considered by the Agency to be class I devices and exempt from 510(k) requirements.

§ 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.
