Intended Use
MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Proximal Humeral or NCB Proximal Tibial plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, including: - Comminuted fractures - Fractures in osteopenic bone - Nonunions/Malunions MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Distal Femoral plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, including: - Comminuted fractures - Supracondylar fractures - Fractures in osteopenic bone - Nonunions/Malunions MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Straight Narrow Shaft plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of humeral and tibial shaft fractures and osteotomies, including: - Periprosthetic fractures - Comminuted fractures - Fractures in osteopenic bone - Nonunions/Malunions MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Periprosthetic Proximal Femur, Distal Femur or Curved Femur Shaft plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, including: - Periprosthetic fractures - Comminuted fractures - Supracondylar fractures - Fractures in osteopenic bone - Nonunions/Malunions
Device Description
The MotionLoc Screw is a member of the NCB Screw family and is used as an alternative for standard NCB Screws in applications where a surgeon desires reduced stiffness in a construct. The MotionLoc Screw has a standard NCB Screw front thread section, a mid-section with a reduced core-diameter, a collar region, and a standard NCB Screw head for engagement in NCB locking plates. The MotionLoc Screws provide unicortical fixation in the far cortex of a diaphysis and are locked into the plate, without being rigidly fixed in the near cortex underlying the plate. The NCB technology allows for polyaxial screw placement (30° cone) of the MotionLoc Screws with screw locking achieved using previously cleared Locking Caps (K042695, cleared 10/29/2004) that are threaded into the plate holes. In the locked mode the NCB plate acts as an internal fixator without contact between the plate and the bone surface thus reducing the risk of periosteal blood supply impairment. This Non-Contact Bridging concept can be specifically controlled through the use of 1, 2, or 3mm spacers (also previously cleared in K042695), which are threaded into the plate holes prior to plate insertion. Plates, screws, spacers and locking caps are made of titanium alloy.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of the screw and plate system for bone fixation. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is an orthopedic implant (screws and plates) used for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implantable screw made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the MotionLoc Screws are for "temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize bone, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the screw and its function in a surgical context (locking into plates, providing fixation, reducing stiffness). It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or any other biological specimen. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, the MotionLoc Screw is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Sterilization Validation - Sterilization has not changed with the new indications or reducing the number of required MotionLoc screws in the shaft of the bone from four to three. These devices have been validated to demonstrate that at a minimum gamma dose of 20kGy these screws can be terminally sterilized to a SAL of 10-6 or better.

Shelf Life - Shelf life has not changed with the new indications or reducing the number of required MotionLoc screws in the shaft of the bone from four to three. Accelerated aging showed that these sterile screws have a shelf life of 10 years.

Sterile Packaging - Packaging has not changed. The sterile screws can withstand normal distribution and storage conditions and maintain the sterile barrier properties throughout the specified product shelf life.

Biocompatibility - Biocompatibility testing on the screw implant materials was conducted per ISO 10993-1 and Good Laboratory Practices (21 CFR § 58). All testing passed.

The new indications or reducing the number of required MotionLoc screws in the shaft of the bone from four to three does not change the fundamental scientific technology of any of the devices. Each sterile device uses the same operating principle and incorporates the same basic labeling.

Testing/Literature - The results of non-clinical (lab) performance testing demonstrate that the devices are safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices when used with the newly indicated plate and for use with three screws. Testing/analysis performed included axial fatigue strength and torsional fatigue. In addition, data from the included literature references indicates that the devices are safe and effective for the newly indicated bone quality (osteopenic).

Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this device.

The MotionLoc Screw is a member of the NCB Screw family and is used as an alternative for standard NCB Screws in applications where a surgeon desires reduced stiffness in a construct.

The MotionLoc Screw has a standard NCB Screw front thread section, a mid-section with a reduced core-diameter, a collar region, and a standard NCB Screw head for engagement in NCB locking plates. The MotionLoc Screws provide unicortical fixation in the far cortex of a diaphysis and are locked into the plate, without being rigidly fixed in the near cortex underlying the plate. The NCB technology allows for polyaxial screw placement (30° cone) of the MotionLoc Screws with screw locking achieved using previously cleared Locking Caps (K042695, cleared 10/29/2004) that are threaded into the plate holes.

In the locked mode the NCB plate acts as an internal fixator without contact between the plate and the bone surface thus reducing the risk of periosteal blood supply impairment. This Non-Contact Bridging concept can be specifically controlled through the use of 1, 2, or 3mm spacers (also previously cleared in K042695), which are threaded into the plate holes prior to plate insertion. Plates, screws, spacers and locking caps are made of titanium alloy.

Intended Use:

MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Proximal Humeral or NCB Proximal Tibial plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, including:

  • · Comminuted fractures
  • · Fractures in osteopenic bone
  • · Nonunions/Malunions

MotionLoc Screws, when used with the NCB Distal Femoral plates, are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures and osteotomies of long bones, including:

  • · Comminuted fractures
  • · Supracondylar fractures
  • · Fractures in osteopenic bone

    .

The physical attributes (dimensions, materials, specifications manufacturing processes, etc.) have not changed from the predicate MotionLoc Screws. They still have a standard NCB Screw front thread section, a mid-section with a reduced corediameter, a collar region, and a standard NCB Screw head for engagement in NCB locking plates. As before, these MotionLoc Screws provide unicortical fixation in the far cortex of a diaphysis and are locked into the plate, without being rigidly fixed in the near cortex underlying the plate.

The NCB technology allows for polyaxial screw placement (30° cone) of the MotionLoc Screws with screw locking achieved using previously cleared Locking Caps (K042695, cleared 10/29/2004) that are threaded into the plate holes.

In the locked mode the NCB plate acts as an internal fixator without contact between the plate and the bone surface thus reducing the risk of periosteal blood supply impairment. This Non-Contact Bridging concept can be specifically controlled through the use of 1, 2, or 3mm spacers (also previously cleared in K042695), which are threaded into the plate holes prior to plate insertion. Plates, screws, spacers and locking caps are made of titanium alloy.

The proposed device is similar in intended use to the predicate devices.
