Intended Use
The 2.4mm Variable Angle LCP Volar Rim Distal Radius Plates are intended for fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones in adults, skeletally mature adolescents, and the following adolescent distal radius fractures: intra-articular fractures exiting the epiphysis, intra-articular fractures exiting the metaphysis, physeal crush injuries, and any injuries which cause growth arrest to the distal radius.
Device Description
The 2.4mm Variable Angle LCP Distal Radius Plates are used with a range of 2.4 mm variable angle locking screws, 2.4 mm cortex screws, and 2.7 mm cortex screws. These new plates incorporated variable angle locking technology. The Variable Angle LCP Volar Rim Distal Radius Plates are designed as low profile plates, designed to minimize soft tissue irritation by featuring a low contoured plate profile with countersunk screws, rounded edges, and polished surfaces. The plates feature both variable angle locking screw holes in the head and shaft and elongated variable angle combination holes along the shaft only. The plates are offered in 6- and 7-hole head configurations each with two additional contourable wing tabs with screws holes to provide even greater variability in screw placement for additional fragment capture and fracture reduction.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (bone plate and screws) and its mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as "Plates for fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies," which directly serves to treat a medical condition (fractures and osteotomies).

No

The device is a distal radius plate intended for fracture fixation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable plate and associated screws made of stainless steel and titanium, which are 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 describes a device for the fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of plates and screws made of materials like stainless steel and titanium, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used inside the body to treat a physical condition.

Summary of Performance Studies

Mechanical testing demonstrates substantial equivalence of the subject components to the predicate devise in regards to mechanical strength. In addition, the intended use, manufacturing processes, materials, packaging, and sterilization information are all identical.

The subject and predicate devices are made from stainless steel and commercially pure titanium. Functional and mechanical testing demonstrates the comparable mechanical and functional properties of the 2.4mm Variable Angle LCP Volar Rim Distal Radius System to the predicate devices.

Testing conducted to support the substantial equivalence for the 2.4mm VA-LCP Volar Rim Distal Radius Plates was aimed to assess the fatigue strength of the subject device. Finite element analysis was used to determine the worst case construct and dynamic loading testing was used to confirm that the worst case construct is substantially equivalent to the 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. Hack:

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.
