More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
The device, APTUS® Proximal Humerus System, is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus. It is an orthopedic implant designed to mechanically fix bones and support healing by providing stability. It does not actively treat or cure a disease but rather supports the body's natural healing process in a structural capacity.

No
The device is described as an implant system for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions, and its components include plates, screws, and spiral blades, all of which are used for surgical fixation, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components made of titanium (plates, screws, spiral blades).

Based on the provided information, the APTUS® Proximal Humerus System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of plates, screws, and spiral blades made of titanium. These are implants used to stabilize bone, not reagents or instruments for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), diagnostic purposes, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device.

Therefore, the APTUS® Proximal Humerus System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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 Dr. Thomas:

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.

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 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
