Intended Use
The Synthes LCP Proximal Tibia System is intended for treatment of nonunions, malunions, osteopenic bone, tibial osteotomies (4.5mm plate only), and fractures of the proximal tibia, including simple, comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar combination of lateral wedge and depression, periprosthetic, and fractures with associated shaft fractures.
Device Description
The LCP Proximal Tibia Plates are contoured to match the anatomy of the proximal tibia with a limited contact low profile design. These are plates designed for either the right or left tibia in a variety of shaft lengths. The plates have overall lengths ranging from 298 mm to 370 mm and shaft holes ranging from 16 to 20 holes.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (plate and screws) for bone fixation and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an LCP Proximal Tibia System intended for the treatment of various tibial conditions such as nonunions, malunions, osteopenic bone, tibial osteotomies, and fractures. This clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device description states it is a system of plates and screws for treating fractures and other bone conditions. It is an implant used for repair and stabilization, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes physical plates (hardware) intended for surgical implantation, 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 Synthes LCP Proximal Tibia System is a surgical implant (plates and screws) used to treat bone fractures and other conditions of the proximal tibia. This is a device used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and fixation, not for analyzing biological samples in vitro.

The information provided focuses on the physical characteristics of the plates and their intended surgical application, which is consistent with a medical device used for orthopedic surgery, 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:

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 (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 date of the Medical Device 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 application (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 such 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

2

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
