Plates accommodate either standard or locking screws via figure-8 shaped holes.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical plate and screw system for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "internal fixation and stabilization" system for fractures and osteotomies, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a "plate and screw system intended for internal fracture fixation," which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section also lists various types of fractures that the system is indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization, further supporting its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "plate and screw system," which are physical hardware components used for internal fracture fixation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "temporary internal fixation and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures". This describes a surgical implant used within the body to treat bone issues.
  • Device Description: The description details a "plate and screw system intended for internal fracture fixation". This further reinforces its role as a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
