Intended Use
The aap LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 System includes LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 short and LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 long. The plates accept 3.5 mm cortical locking screws and 3.5 mm cortical screws as well as 3.8 mm cancellous locking screws. They are intended for fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and nonunions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone
Device Description
Bone plates and screws are used for fixation of bone fragments, i.e., for treatment of bone fractures and other bone injuries. Bone plates are fixed with bone screws. Bone plates and bone screws are implants. If the plates are used in conjunction with locking screws, a so called internal fixator will be realized (internal fixation). The LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 System consists of: LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5, short . LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5, long ◆ . LOQTEQ® Cortical Screw 3.5, T15, self-tapping LOQTEQ® Cancellous Screw 3.8, T15 ● . Cortical Screw 3.5, self-tapping .

More Information

No
The device description and intended use clearly define it as a mechanical bone plate and screw system for fracture fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the treatment of fractures, dislocations, osteotomies, and nonunions of the proximal humerus, which are all therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring function and health.

No

This device is a surgical implant (bone plates and screws) used for fixation of bone fractures and other bone injuries, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components such as bone plates and screws made of Ti6Al4V, which are hardware implants.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and nonunions of the proximal humerus." This describes a surgical implant used to fix bone, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details bone plates and screws used for "fixation of bone fragments" and are described as "implants." This further confirms its function as a surgical device.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the aap LOQTEQ® Proximal Humerus Plate 3.5 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.
