No
The 510(k) summary describes a traditional orthopedic implant system (plates and screws) made of standard materials. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven components. The description focuses solely on the physical characteristics and intended use of the hardware.

No
The device is a bone plate and screw system intended for providing fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, which are structural and mechanical support functions rather than therapeutic in the sense of treating a disease or illness.

No
Explanation: The device is a bone plate and screw system intended for fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. It is an implantable medical device for treatment purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "bone plate and screw system" made of physical materials (Stainless Steel and Titanium) intended for implantation. This is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for providing fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. This is a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of bone plates and screws made of metal, intended to be implanted into bones. This is a medical device used for structural support and fixation within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for surgical treatment.

§ 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.

consists of plates and screws for treatment of
the phalanges, and metatarsals.The Charlotte Small MTP Fusion Plate is
intended to help increase the rate of bony
union, and to maintain the position of the toe
during fusion. Once the joint has fused, the
plate is secondary in the transmission of gait
forces.

arthrodesis of the first metarsal-
phalangeal joint
• Deformity due to hallus valgus
• Deformity due to arthritis in the first

• Loss of motion-hallux rigidus
• Pain associated with osteoarthritis
or rheumatoid arthritis in the first

• Revision procedures where other
treatments or devices have failed;
and
• Chronic instability in the first
