No
The summary describes a metallic plate for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as metallic plates intended for the treatment of fractures and osteotomies, which are therapeutic interventions.

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

No

The device description clearly states it is a metallic plate, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of fractures and osteotomies of bones. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a metallic plate intended for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not interact with biological specimens in this way.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not a diagnostic test performed on samples.

§ 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
