Intended Use
The Synthes Sternal Fixation System is intended for use in primary or secondary closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the sternum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion. The Synthes (USA) Titanium 2.4 mm Universal Locking Plates (12, 13 and 20 hole) are indicated for use in primary or secondary closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the sternum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion.
Device Description
The Synthes (USA) Sternal Fixation System consists of machined titanium plates, a quick-release pin and 3.0 mm locking screws. The plates utilize screw fixation to create the construct.
More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical sternal fixation system with no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

Yes
The device is described as a sternal fixation system intended for the closure/repair of the sternum to stabilize it and promote fusion, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for the "closure/repair of the sternum" and "to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion," indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of machined titanium plates, a quick-release pin, and locking screws, which are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the sternum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize bone.
  • Device Description: The device is described as consisting of "machined titanium plates, a quick-release pin and 3.0 mm locking screws." These are physical components used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

§ 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. Tasker:

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.
