Intended Use
The Arthrex Distal Radius Plate System is intended for internal fixation for fractures and reconstruction of the small bones, primarily including the distal radius and distal ulna. Examples of these internal fixations and reconstructions include compression fractures, intra-articular and extra-articular fractures, displaced fractures, osteotomies, nonunions and malunions. This system can be used for palmar, dorsal or orthogonal application. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.0-2.4mm solid) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist. When used with a plate, the screw may be used with the Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, and Distal Radius Plates. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.0-3.0mm cannulated) are intended to be used as standalone bone screws for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and nonunions in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.7mm and larger, solid) are intended to be used as standalone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula. When used with a plate, the screws may be used with the Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Fracture Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, Distal Radius Plates, Humeral Fracture Plates, and Osteotomy Plates. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (3.5mm and larger, cannulated) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula.
Device Description
The Arthrex Distal Radius Plate System is a family of plates offered in various widths, thicknesses and lengths and locking screws in various diameters and lengths.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a system of plates and screws for bone fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties.

Yes.
The device is used for internal fixation for fractures and reconstruction of bones, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an internal fixation system (plates and screws) for fractures and reconstruction of bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "family of plates offered in various widths, thicknesses and lengths and locking screws in various diameters and lengths," which are physical hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole 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 Arthrex Distal Radius Plate System and its associated screws are for "internal fixation for fractures and reconstruction of the small bones." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize bone.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "family of plates offered in various widths, thicknesses and lengths and locking screws in various diameters and lengths." This further confirms it's a physical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

§ 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.

in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for
bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in
the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon,
humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula.
When used with a plate, the screws may be used with the
Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Fracture
Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, Distal Radius Plates,
Humeral Fracture Plates, and Osteotomy Plates.
The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (3.5mm and larger,

Substantial Equivalence SummaryThe Arthrex Distal Radius Plate System is substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices, in which the basic
design features and intended uses are the same. Any
differences between the Arthrex Distal Radius Plate
System and the predicates are considered minor and do
not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. 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
