No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is intended for the "fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius," which treats a physical injury or condition.
No
The device is a system of plates and screws intended for fixation of fractures and osteotomies, which is a treatment rather than a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as bone plates, screws, fixation pegs, and instrumentation, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius." This describes a surgical procedure to repair bone, not a test performed on a sample from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details bone plates, screws, pegs, and instrumentation used for surgical implantation. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device is a surgical implant used to physically stabilize a bone fracture.

Device Description
The Skeletal Dynamics Geminus Volar Distal Radius Plate System contains bone plates for the repair of either distal or volar radial fractures. Included in the set are titanium bone screws, fixation pegs, fragment plates, and specialized instrumentation.
The Skeletal Dynamics Geminus Volar Distal Radius Plate is available in 6 sizes and is made of medical grade titanium alloy. Cortical locking screws affix the plate to the diaphysis and fixed angle pegs are used for distal bone fragments. The system is provided non-sterile and is sterilized in the user facility.
The Skeletal Dynamics Geminus Volar Distal Radius Plate System is comprised of:
- · titanium alloy plates, washers and screws
- · stainless steel K-wires (for provisional fixation not for implantation)
- · system specific instrumentation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Preclinical analysis and cadaveric testing demonstrated that the Skeletal Dynamics Geminus Volar Distal Radius Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device which is currently marketed. Mechanical testing which established equivalency included static, fatigue and dynamic testing. Therefore, the subject device is as safe and effective as 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.
