Intended Use
IFS bone plates and screws, provided non-sterile, are intended to treat fractures and osteotomies of various bones including the clavicle, pelvis, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, calcaneus, and fibula. The IFS washers, provided non-sterile, are intended to prevent a screw head from breaking through the cortex of the bone by distributing the forces/load over an area when used for fracture fixation of small bones and bone fragments.
Device Description
IFS bone plates consists of various shapes as well as screws are intended to treat fractures and osteotomies of various bones, including the clavicle, pelvis, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, and fibula. The washers are to function with screws to prevent the screw head from breaking through the cortex of the bone by providing additional surface area during screw placement. The plates, screws, and washers are a one-piece device made of Titanium 6Al-4V ELI or stainless steel.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are solely focused on mechanical bone plates, screws, and washers for fracture fixation. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The description states the devices are "intended to treat fractures and osteotomies," which indicates a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states that the device consists of bone plates, screws, and washers made of Titanium or stainless steel, which are physical hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for treating fractures and osteotomies of various bones. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details bone plates, screws, and washers made of titanium or stainless steel, designed for physical fixation of bones. This is a mechanical device used within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

This device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures.

§ 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.

Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows a logo with the letters "IFS" in bold, black font. To the left of the letters is a circular graphic with a black and white design. Below the letters is the text "Internal Fixation Systems" in a smaller font. The logo appears to be for a company or organization related to internal fixation systems.

Intended Use: IFS bone plates and screws, provided non-sterile, are intended to treat fractures and osteotomies of various bones including the clavicle, pelvis, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, calcaneus, and fibula. The IFS washers, provided non-sterile, are intended to prevent a screw head from breaking through the cortex of the bone by distributing the forces/load over an area when used for fracture fixation of small bones and bone fragments. Substantial Equivalence: IFS bone plates, screws, and washers have the same intended use, same technological characteristics, and materials as the predicate devices. Based on the information submitted, it is determined that the bone plate and screw system is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. Technological Characteristics The IFS bone plates, screws, and washers are substantially equivalent to the Comparison: predicate devices with respect to the design, function, and material. The plates have the same number of holes, similar thickness, lengths, widths, and material composition. The screws have the same diameters, lengths, and material composition. The washers have the same outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, and material composition. Sterilization Information: The IFS Bone Plates, Screws, and Washers will be distributed non-sterile. The devices are sterilized by the end user per the AAMI Guidelines "Good Hospital Practice: Steam Sterilization and Sterility Assurance" and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11737 guidelines to achieve the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106. There are no significant differences between the IFS bone plates, screws, Conclusion: and washers and the other implants as listed in the Substantially Equivalent Devices. The IFS plates, screws, and washers and the predicate devices have similar design attributes, material, and intended use thus is considered substantially equivalent.
