No
The summary describes a metallic plate for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a metallic plate designed to stabilize fractures, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device description clearly states "Synthes 3.5mm Quadrilateral Surface Plates consist of metallic plates pre-shaped to fit the quadrilateral surface of the pelvis." This describes a surgical implant used for fixation, not a device that identifies or determines the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of "metallic plates," indicating a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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 description clearly states that the Synthes 3.5mm Quadrilateral Surface Plates are "metallic plates pre-shaped to fit the quadrilateral surface of the pelvis." This describes a physical implant used in surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "quadrilateral surface comminution associated with acetabular fractures when used in conjunction with Synthes pelvic reconstruction plates." This describes a surgical procedure to repair bone fractures.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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