More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical bone plate and screw system with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The plates are used for bone fixation after fractures, fusions, or osteotomies. While they help in the healing process, they do not directly provide therapy.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use" section states the device is for "internal bone fixation," indicating it is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one. It does not mention identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made of stainless steel plates, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device (plates made of stainless steel) used for structural support within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological samples.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

§ 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.

Purpose of SubmissionThis traditional 510(k) premarket notification is submitted to obtain
clearance for the Arthrex Compression Plates.
Device Description and Intended
UseThe Arthrex Compression Plates are a family of low profile plates available
in various design configurations. The plates are made of stainless steel and
are available in lengths of 20mm, 25mm and 30mm (interaxis lengths).
The Arthrex Compression Plates are intended to be used for internal bone
fixation for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle, foot, hand,
and wrist, such as opening wedge osteotomies of Hallux Valgus.
Substantial Equivalence
SummaryThe Arthrex Compression Plates are substantially equivalent to the
predicates Arthrex Low Profile Plates and Screws System in which the
basic features and intended uses are the same. The Arthrex Compression
Plates are substantially equivalent to the predicates Arthrex Low Profile
Plates and Arthrex Compression Staple in which the material,
technological characteristics and performance of the devices are similar.
