Intended Use
The MaxLock Extreme® Distal Radius Plates and Screws are indicated for fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius in adult patients.
Device Description
The MaxLock Extreme® System Distal Radius Plates and Screws are a modification to the previously cleared Modular Foot System to include site-specific plates and screws for distal radius fixation. The plates are offered in different lengths and sizes. The screws are offered in different diameters and lengths. All implantable components are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy. The MaxLock Extreme® System Distal Radius Plates and Screws have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical fixation system (plates and screws) and focuses on mechanical testing for equivalence to predicate devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

No
The device is described as "Plates and Screws" for fracture fixation, meaning it is an osteosynthesis device used to stabilize bone fractures, not to provide therapy itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system of plates and screws for fixation of fractures and osteotomies, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic procedures. The performance studies also focus on mechanical equivalence and strength for implantation.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device consists of "site-specific plates and screws for distal radius fixation" and that "All implantable components are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy." This indicates a physical, implantable hardware device, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius in adult patients." This describes a surgical implant used to fix bones, not a test performed on biological samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details "site-specific plates and screws for distal radius fixation," made from "implant grade titanium alloy." This further confirms it's a physical implant for surgical use.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are "Mechanical testing" and a "screw bending moment study," which are relevant to the structural integrity and performance of a surgical implant, not the analytical performance of a diagnostic test.

In summary, the MaxLock Extreme® Distal Radius Plates and Screws are a surgical implant used for bone fixation, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Mechanical testing was conducted to confirm that the MaxLock Extreme® System Distal Radius Plates and Screws are equivalent to the predicate and meet the specified requirements for their intended use. The OrthoHelix plate performed better than the clinically successful legally marketed predicate device. A screw bending moment study was performed to verify that the screws are equivalent to the predicate and meet the specified requirements for their intended use. It is concluded from the static mechanical testing and the screw maximum bending moment study that the devices are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 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. Lewis:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
