No
The 510(k) summary describes a metallic bone fixation plate and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device, a bone fixation plate, is used to stabilize fractures and osteotomies, which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function (i.e., it doesn't cure or treat the underlying condition itself, but rather holds the bones in place for healing).

No
The device is described as a metallic bone fixation plate intended for the fixation of fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a system consisting of "metallic bone fixation plates," which are hardware components.

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 clearly describes the Synthes 2.4mm LCP Volar Column Distal Radius Plates as metallic bone fixation plates designed to treat fractures and osteotomies. This is a surgical implant used directly on the bone, not a device that analyzes samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of fractures and osteotomies, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Synthes 2.4mm LCP Volar Column Distal Radius 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.

Dear Mr. Nittinger:

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 application (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.
