Intended Use
Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Posterolateral Proximal Femur Plates are intended for treatment of fractures of the femur including: Basilar neck fractures such as Pauwels Type 3; fractures of the trochanteric region, trochanteric simple, cervicotrochanteric, trochanterodiaphyseal, mutlifragmentary pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, intertrochanteric reversed or transverse or with additional fracture of medial cortex; fractures of the proximal end of the femur combined with ipsilateral shaft fractures, metastatic fractures of the proximal femur; and also for use in fixation of osteopenic bone and fixation of non-unions or malunions.
Device Description
Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Posterolateral Proximal Femur Plates are contoured to match the anatomy of the proximal femur. The plates feature a limited-contact profile and Combi holes (Dynamic Compression Plate holes combined with locking screw holes), which accept 4.5 mm cortex, 5.0 mm locking screws, 5.0 mm cannulated locking screws, 7.3 mm cannulated locking screws, and 7.3 mm cannulated conical screws. The plates are manufactured from stainless steel and titanium.

No
The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (bone plate and screws) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a femur plate used to treat fractures, non-unions, or malunions, which directly addresses a medical condition or injury.

No

The device is a surgical plate used for fixing bone fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a physical plate manufactured from stainless steel and titanium, which are 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 about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Synthes 4.5 mm LCP Posterolateral Proximal Femur Plates are implants made of stainless steel and titanium, designed to be surgically implanted to fix bone fractures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat fractures of the femur by providing mechanical support and fixation. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

§ 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.
