Intended Use
The Synthes 2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Distal Fibula Plates are indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the metaphyseal and diaphyseal region of the distal fibula, especially in osteopenic bone.
Device Description
Synthes 2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Distal Fibula Plates are contoured to match the anatomy of the distal fibula and diaphyseal region. The plates feature a low-profile design and Combi holes (Dynamic Compression Plate holes combined with locking screw holes), which accept 3.5 mm cortex, 3.5 mm self-tapping cortex, 3.5 mm shaft. 3.5 mm locking screws, and 4.0 mm cancellous screws. The plates locking holes accept 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm locking screws along with 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm self-tapping cortex screws. The plates are available in stainless steel and titanium, as well as a variety of lengths.

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a bone plate and its features. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.

No
Explanation: This device is an orthopedic implant (plate) used to fix fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal fibula. While it aids in the healing process, it does not directly treat a disease or condition in the way a therapeutic device for diagnostics, monitoring, or active intervention might. It's a structural support rather than an active therapy.

No

Explanation: The device, Synthes 2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Distal Fibula Plates, is described as being used for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions, and its description focuses on its physical characteristics and the types of screws it accepts. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition, which would make it a diagnostic device. It appears to be an implant used for treatment.

No

The device description clearly describes physical plates made of stainless steel and titanium, which are hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device description: The provided text describes a surgical implant (a plate) used to fix fractures and other bone issues in the distal fibula. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for treating fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal fibula. This is a therapeutic/surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Synthes 2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Distal Fibula Plates are 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.
