Intended Use
Intended Use: The DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is intended to be implanted for the fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, implanted either percutaneously or by a tre divinoval open method. Indications for Use: The POLYAXTM Locked Plating System is intended for use in cases requiring stabilization of malunions, non-unions, and osteotomies of the distal femur and proximal tibia and Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) repair of closed and open fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia including, but not limited to the following: periarticular fractures, such as simple comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, combinations of lateral wedge and depression fractures with associated shaft fractures, and periprosthetic fractures.
Device Description
The DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is comprised of anatomically contoured, multi-hole fracture plates and screws. The plates allow for polyaxial screw locking, with, provisions for fixed angle locking, variable angle locking and non-locking, vriw construct options.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical plating system for bone fixation and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is used for fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, rather than for treatment through therapeutic means.

No
The device is described as a plating system intended for the fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "anatomically contoured, multi-hole fracture plates and screws," which are physical hardware components.

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is a surgical implant designed to fix bone fractures and osteotomies. It is physically implanted into the body to stabilize bone.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended use do not involve the analysis of any biological specimens outside of the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is comprised of anatomically contoured, multi-hole fracture plates and screws. The plates allow for polyaxial screw locking, with, provisions for fixed angle locking, variable angle locking and non-locking, vriw construct options.

INTENDED USE AND INDICATIONS:

Intended Use:

The DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is intended to be implanted for the fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, implanted either percutaneously or by a tre divinoval open method.

1

Indications for Use:

The POLYAXTM Locked Plating System is intended for use in cases requiring stabilization of malunions, non-unions, and osteotomies of the distal femur and proximal tibia and Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) repair of closed and open fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia including, but not limited to the following: periarticular fractures, such as simple comminuted, lateral wedge, depression, medial wedge, bicondylar, combinations of lateral wedge and depression fractures with associated shaft fractures, and periprosthetic fractures.

BASIS OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The substantial equivalence of the DePuy POLYAX Locked Plating System is substantiated by its similarity in intended use, indications for use, materials and design to the existing DePuy POLYAX Knee Fracture System, K003235, cleared on November 6, 2000, and to Zimmer Periarticular Locking Plates, K040593, cleared on April 12, 2004

Dear Ms. Myer:

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
