Intended Use
Synthes 3.5 mm Locking Compression Plate (LCP) System: The Synthes 3.5 mm LCP is indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olectranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, fibula, particularly in osteopenic bone for adult patients. These plates are also indicated for fracture fixation of diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas of long bones in pediatric patients. Synthes 4.5 mm Locking Compression Plate (LCP) System: The Synthes 4.5 mm LCP is indicated for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur and tibia and for use in fixation of peri-prosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone and fixation of non-unions or malunions in adult patients. These plates are also indicated for fracture fixation of diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas of long bones in pediatric patients.
Device Description

No
The document describes a mechanical bone plate system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a metallic plate system designed for fracture fixation, osteotomies, and non-unions, which are structural repairs rather than treatments aimed at restoring health from an illness or disease.

No

The device is a system of plates used for fracture fixation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical plates and screws, which are 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 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 and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes the Synthes 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm LCP Systems as implants used for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of bones. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Sherman:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of November 24, 2008.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21. Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other

Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
