No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and dimensional analysis of the plates and screws, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
Yes
The device is described as "internal fixation of wrist fusions" and "indicated for wrist arthrodesis," which are therapeutic interventions to address a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a plate system used for internal fixation in wrist fusions, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of "three titanium locking plates" and is used for "internal fixation," indicating it is a hardware 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the APTUS® Wrist Arthrodesis Plates are "intended to be used for internal fixation of wrist fusions." This means they are surgically implanted devices used to stabilize bones.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of bodily fluids, or any other activity associated with in vitro diagnostics.
The device described is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance data provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence include detailed dimensional analysis of the subject and predicate plate designs, and moment of inertia analysis of the subject and predicate plate design. Screw pull-out testing and engineering analysis were performed to demonstrate that the distal attachment of the subject device (carpal bones) is comparable to that of the predicate device plates (third metacarpal bone).

§ 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)

INTENDED USE
APTUS® Wrist Arthrodesis Plates are indicated for wrist arthrodesis.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The APTUS® Wrist Arthrodesis Plates system is intended to be used for internal fixation of wrist fusions and consists of three titanium locking plates. The plates are secured using previously cleared titanium screws. APTUS Wrist Arthrodesis Plates are provided in various sizes.
EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE
APTUS® Wrist Arthrodesis Plates are substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following predicate devices, each of which has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent to pre-amendment devices:
Kinetikos Medical Inc., KMITM Wrist Fusion System, cleared under K990094,
Synthes (USA), Synthes (USA) Small Titanium Wrist Fusion Plate cleared under K023879,
Synthes (USA), Synthes (USA) LCP Wrist Fusion Plates cleared under K042355,
Synthes (USA), Synthes Straight Wrist Fusion Plate cleared under K011458,
Synthes (USA), Synthes USA) Wrist Fusion Plate cleared under K000558, and
Medartis, Inc., APTUS® Titanium Fixation System cleared under K051567.
The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have the same technological characteristics. The subject and predicate devices are all fabricated from the same or similar materials and share similar design characteristics. The subject and predicate devices encompass the same or comparable ranges of physical dimensions, are packaged using the same or similar materials, and are to be sterilized by the same methods. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.
