Intended Use
ZPS One-Third Tubular Plates, T-Plates and Semi-Tubular plates are indication and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures, such as: - comminuted fractures - supracondylar fractures - extra-articular fractures - · fractures in osteopenic bone - nonunions - malunions Smaller-sized ZPS plates are used for small bones and small fragments of the hands and feet. ZPS Screws are temporary internal fixation devices designed to stabilize fractures during the normal healing process.
Device Description
The Zimmer Plates and Screws System (ZPS) is a non-locking, stainless steel plate and screw system. Plate shapes vary to address varying patient bone sizes and injury fragment sizes. Plates incorporate a spherical sliding slope plate hole design to achieve the compression required to treat bone fractures. The plates are used with a variety of screws for temporary fixation to the bone.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical plate and screw system for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes

The device is designed to stabilize fractures and assist in the healing process of bones, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose: "ZPS One-Third Tubular Plates, T-Plates and Semi-Tubular plates are indication and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures," and "ZPS Screws are temporary internal fixation devices designed to stabilize fractures during the normal healing process." This indicates it is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "non-locking, stainless steel plate and screw system," which are physical hardware components.

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 ZPS system is for the "indication and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures." This describes a surgical implant used to physically support and fix bone during healing.
  • Device Description: The description details a "non-locking, stainless steel plate and screw system" designed for "temporary internal fixation." This aligns with the description of a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings for testing purposes.

The device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation.

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

Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
• Biocompatibility - Biocompatibility testing on the plate and screw material was conducted per ISO 10993-1 and Good Laboratory Practices (21 CFR § 58). All testing passed.
• Performance Testing - The four point bend testing and/or the beam bending cross sectional analysis conducted on both the subject non-sterile ZPS plates and their respective predicate devices demonstrated that, in all cases, the subject ZPS plates were superior in strength.
Because the non-sterile ZPS screws are identical to the sterile ZPS screws cleared under K112885 and because the sterilization status for these metal devices does not affect the performance testing, no additional testing beyond the data included in K112885 was required.

Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices.

§ 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 Mr. McKelvey:

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.

System 2.7mm Locking Plates and Screws (K063303). |
| Purpose and Device Description: | The Zimmer Plates and Screws System (ZPS) is a non-
locking, stainless steel plate and screw system. Plate
shapes vary to address varying patient bone sizes and injury
fragment sizes. Plates incorporate a spherical sliding slope
plate hole design to achieve the compression required to
treat bone fractures. The plates are used with a variety of

stabilization of osteotomies and fractures, such as: |
| | |
| • comminuted fractures
• supracondylar fractures
• extra-articular fractures
• fractures in osteopenic bone
• nonunions
• malunions
Smaller-sized ZPS plates are used for small bones and
small fragments of the hands and feet.
ZPS Screws are temporary internal fixation devices
designed to stabilize fractures during the normal healing
process. | |
| Comparison to Predicate Device: | The ZPS Plates/Screws are similar in intended use, basic
shape, compatible screw diameters, materials and
performance characteristics to the predicate devices. The
subject devices are provided non-sterile. |
| Performance Data (Nonclinical
and/or Clinical): | Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
• Biocompatibility - Biocompatibility testing on the
plate and screw material was conducted per ISO 10993-
1 and Good Laboratory Practices (21 CFR § 58). All
testing passed.
• Performance Testing - The four point bend testing
and/or the beam bending cross sectional analysis
conducted on both the subject non-sterile ZPS plates
and their respective predicate devices demonstrated
that, in all cases, the subject ZPS plates were superior in
strength.
Because the non-sterile ZPS screws are identical to the
sterile ZPS screws cleared under K112885 and because
the sterilization status for these metal devices does not
affect the performance testing, no additional testing
beyond the data included in K112885 was required.
Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these
devices. |
