Intended Use
The AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate is intended for fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone.
Device Description
The AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate is a low-profile, anatomically shaped plate which matches the natural contour of the proximal humerus. The plate is available in 'long' and 'short' configurations with left and right options. The plate contains holes for 3.5mm locking and nonlocking screws and 4.5mm partially threaded screws. The screws are available in various lengths. Both the plates and the screws are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136). The components are provided non-sterile for single-use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of a bone plate and screws, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a fracture plate and screws, which are implantable devices used to stabilize fractures, rather than a device that provides therapy for an illness or condition.

No

This device, a fracture plate, is used for treatment (fixing fractures) rather than diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical plate and screws made of Ti-6Al-4V, intended for surgical implantation. It also mentions performance studies involving bending testing of the physical components.

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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate is a physical implant designed to fix fractures in the proximal humerus bone. It is a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat fractures and related conditions of the proximal humerus, not to diagnose a condition based on in vitro testing.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for laboratory testing of biological samples.

§ 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.

6. Summary of Performance Data

Testing of the AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate to demonstrate substantial equivalence included static and dynamic bending testing per ASTM F382-99.

7. Safety & Effectiveness

The AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate is substantially equivalent to the Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate (K041860, K011815), Synthes 4.5mm Non-Locking Cannulated Screw ( K963172), and Zimmer NCB Proximal Humerus Non-Locking Screw (K042695). The devices have the same "Indications for Use," are available by prescription only, and are provided non-sterile for single-use only. Based on this and the design similarities, it can be concluded that the AFT™ Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate is both a safe and effective device and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Kapitan,

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
