Intended Use
Intended for use in stabilization and fixation of fractures, revision procedures, fusions, reconstructions (osteotomy) and non-unions of the bones of the hand, foot, wrist, ankle, finger, toe, humerus, olecranon, clavicle, scapula and pelvis, particularly in osteopenic bone. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients (adolescents [>12 - 21 years of age]), where the implant would not cross open epiphyseal plates in skeletally immature patients.
Device Description
The ALPS 2.5mm Inline Fusion Plate consists of a 2.5mm Titanium alloy fusion plate offered to be used with non-locking, locking and variable angle screws manufactured from Titanium alloy and CoCr for bone fixation and the management of fractures, fusions, revisions and reconstructive surgeries.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (plate and screws) for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the stabilization and fixation of fractures, fusions, and reconstructions of bones, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as an implantable plate system used for stabilization and fixation of fractures and reconstructive surgeries, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "2.5mm Titanium alloy fusion plate" and includes "non-locking, locking and variable angle screws manufactured from Titanium alloy and CoCr," indicating it is a physical implant and associated hardware, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for the stabilization and fixation of bones during surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a plate and screws made of titanium alloy and CoCr, used for bone fixation. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to test samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical implant used to physically support and stabilize bones.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Otaño:

We have reviewed vour 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.
