Intended Use
The Synthes (USA) Modular Mini Fragment LCP System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small bone fragments, particularly in osteopenic bone. Examples include, but are not limited to, the hand, wrist, foot, and ankle.
Device Description
The Synthes (USA) Modular Mini Fragment LCP System includes 2.0, 2.4, and 2.7 mm size implants. The system incorporates a series of locking compression plates and screws of varying lengths, thicknesses, and configurations including straight, condylar, T-, Y-, adaption plates. These plates are attached to bone via 2.0, 2.4, and 2.7 mm cortex and locking screws.

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical in nature, describing plates and screws for bone fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an implant system for fixation of bone fractures and fusions, which directly treats anatomical injuries.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a system for fixation of fractures and similar bone issues, which is a treatment or surgical intervention, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly details physical implants (plates and screws) and does not mention any software component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small bone fragments. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of plates and screws used to attach to bone. These are physical implants used in surgery.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.

This device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not for testing 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.

Dear Dr. Clark

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.
