Intended Use
The I.T.S. Distal Humeral Plates with Angular Stability is a titanium implant fracture fixation system for stabilizing fractures of the distal humerus in the elbow of a pediatric or adult patient. Indications for Use include intra-articular fractures, supracondylar fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal humerus.
Device Description
The I.T.S. GmbH Distal Humeral Plates with Angular Stability is a fracture fixation plating system for repairing factures located in the distal area of the humerus in the elbow (in the area of medial and lateral epicondyles of the distal humerus). The Distal Humeral Plates consist of two plate designs as a medial (8 hole) and dorsolateral (5 hole) left and right plate configuration - anatomically pre-contoured to fit the distal humerus human anatomy and manufactured from Commercialy Pure (CP) Titanium material for minor intra-operative forming by the surgeon. The offset opposite location of the plates on the medial and lateral epicondyles provide a girder-like construct for difficult bone fracture reconstruction stability. The added benefit of locking screws within each plate and up to a +- 15° angle position allows a fixed-angle contruct of screw-to-plate and offers angle-flexibility in screw positioning for further optimal fracture stability. Small holes in the plate allow intermediate 'k-wire bone fracture segment positioning' for reducing and aligning the fracture bone segments while positioning the plates and introducing multiple sizes of locking/non-locking screws as needed for stabilizing the fracture(s) - when using optional x-ray fluroscopy. The system offers a 3.5mm locking and non-locking cortical screw and a 4.2mm locking cancellous screw in multiple lengths manufactured from High Strength 6-4 Alloyed Titanium material. All plates and screws are processed with a TIODIZE II surface treatment - which improves the material surface hardness and biocompatibility to adjacent tissues. The low-profile and contoured left and right plate design minimizes soft-tissue irritation for the patient. A full compliment of instrumentation is available for use with the system.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a fracture fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
Explanation: This device is a fracture fixation system designed to stabilize fractures, which falls under the category of a surgical implant rather than a therapeutic device that administers treatment or therapy directly.

No

The device is a fracture fixation system designed to stabilize fractures, not to diagnose medical conditions. Its function is to treat, not to identify or determine a disease or condition.

No

The device is a fracture fixation plating system made of titanium implants and screws, which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant used for stabilizing bone fractures. It is a physical device that is surgically placed within the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to stabilize fractures of the distal humerus, which is a treatment for a physical injury, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a Class II medical device (based on the predicate devices listed, which are typically Class II orthopedic implants) used for fracture fixation.

§ 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.
