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 locking screws along with 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm self-tapping cortex screws. The plates are available in stainless steel and titanium, as well as a variety of lengths.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a bone plate, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a surgical implant designed to treat fractures and non-unions of the fibula, which is a structural repair rather than a therapeutic treatment in the sense of administering medicine or therapy.

No

The device is an orthopedic plate used to fix fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal fibula. It is a treatment device, not one that diagnoses conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical plate made of stainless steel or titanium, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware medical device, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Synthes 2.7 mm/3.5 mm LCP Distal Fibula Plates are implants used to fix fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal fibula. They are physical plates and screws inserted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical fixation of bone issues, not for testing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
