Intended Use
The SuperCable" Grip and Plate System is indicated for use where wire, cable, or band cerclage is used in combination with a trochanteric grip or bone plate. The SuperCable™ Grip and Plate System is intended to be used in conjunction with the SuperCable™ Iso-Elastic Cerclage System for reattachment of the greater trochanter following osteotomy or fracture, and for fixation of long bone fractures.
Device Description
The SuperCable" Grip and Plate System consists of trochanteric reattachment grips, cable-plates, and cortical bone screws that are intended to be used in conjunction with 1.5mm diameter SuperCable Iso-Elastic Cerclage polymer cables. The cables pass through the grips and plates and provide fixation by attaching these devices to fractured or osteotomized bone fragments. Cortical bone screws may be used in combination with the cable-plates for additional fixation as deemed necessary by the surgeon user. The system includes a range of cable grip, cable-plate, and bone screw sizes and material options, with associated manual surgical instrumentation. Trochanteric reattachment grips are available in a minimum of four lengths and contain transverse holes for the passage of cables. A cable is passed through the transverse holes and then through its own cable locking clasp, which is part of the cable system. Locking clasps are generally positioned adjacent to the grip on the anterior or posterior surface of the proximal femur. The cable hole exit geometry is designed for optimal cable trajectory and cable contact stress when the grip is affixed to the greater trochanter. Each grip contains two proximal claws that hook into or over the proximal portion of the trochanter fragment and prevent the grip from migrating distally. Each grip also contains two smaller distal claws that penetrate the trochanter fragment distally for additional fixation and stability. The longer grips incorporate an extension to allow for transversely oriented cables around the diaphysis below the lesser trochanter to better resist trochanteric migration or rotation. These longer extensions contain slots for the insertion of compression or locked cortical bone screws into the bone. The grips are available in titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium allov, or stainless steel allov. Cable-plates are available in a minimum of three lengths and contain transverse holes for the passage of cables. A cable is passed through the transverse plate holes and then through its own cable locking clasp, which is part of the cable system. Locking clasps are generally positioned adjacent to the plate. The plates also contain alternating slots for the insertion of compression or locked cortical bone screws into the bone. By combining locking screw holes with compression slots. the plates can be used as both locking devices and fracture compression devices. The plates resemble standard plates, but have figure-of-eight shaped slots that accommodate standard or locking screws. Thus the plate can be used, depending upon the fracture situation, as a compression plate, a locked internal fixator or as a system combining both techniques. The cable hole exit geometry is designed for optimal contact stress within the cable when the plate is affixed to a long bone. The cable-plates are available in titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, or stainless steel alloy. Bone screws are standard self-tapping cortical bone screws and are available in multiple lengths. The screws heads are available in standard compression or locked designs. The bone screws are available in titanium alloy or stainless steel. The product labeling specifies the screw and plate/grip material combinations which may be used together. Manual instrumentation includes a grip inserter/impactor, drill, depth gage, screwdriver, and sterilization case. All implants are supplied in a non-sterile condition.

The device description focuses on mechanical components (grips, plates, screws, cables) and manual surgical instrumentation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical and finite element analyses, not data-driven AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes

The device is intended for the reattachment of the greater trochanter following osteotomy or fracture and for fixation of long bone fractures, which are medical treatments addressing health problems.

No
Explanation: The device is an implantable system (SuperCable™ Grip and Plate System) used for reattaching the greater trochanter or fixing long bone fractures. It provides mechanical fixation and is clearly described as a treatment device, not one that gathers information for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as grips, plates, screws, and manual surgical instrumentation made of various metal alloys. It is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The SuperCable Grip and Plate System is described as a system of implants (grips, plates, screws, cables) and surgical instruments used for fixing bone fractures and reattaching the greater trochanter. These are physical devices implanted into the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures involving bone fixation and reattachment.
  • No Mention of Specimens: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze any biological specimens.

Therefore, the SuperCable Grip and Plate System is a surgical implant system, 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)

Summary of technological characteristics compared to predicate devices:

The SuperCable Grip and Plate System's material, design, sizing, and indications are identical or similar to the predicate devices. All devices use cables, locking clasps, grips, and bone plates for trochanteric or long bone fracture fixation. All device systems use a tensioning instrument to apply compression and affix the cable to the grip, plate, and bone. Predicate devices are available in titanium alloy, cobalt-chrome alloy, or stainless steel. Predicate systems include grips, plates, and bone screws in a variety of lengths to accommodate common fracture patterns that occur clinically.

Performance Analysis:

The SuperCable Grip and Plate System presents no new risks as compared to the predicate devices. No clinical testing is required for determination of substantial equivalence. The subject devices were found to have greater strength compared to predicate devices based on mechanical and finite element analyses as described in Section 12.11.
