All plates are made from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67, and all screws are made from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and design, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing.

Yes.
This device is used to treat fractures and osteotomies of the ulna, which are conditions that require therapy.

No
The device, APTUS Ulna Plates, is described as a system for fixing fractures and osteotomies of the ulna using plates and screws. Its function is to provide mechanical support and stabilization, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of titanium locking plates and screws, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fractures and osteotomies, in particular for the ulna." This describes a surgical implant used to fix bones, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details titanium plates and screws, which are physical implants.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any diagnostic testing procedures.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. 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)

APTUS® Ulna Shortening 2.5

INTENDED USE

APTUS® Ulna Plates are indicated for fractures and osteotomies, in particular for the ulna.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

APTUS Ulna Shortening 2.5 system consists of titanium locking plates. The plates are secured using previously cleared titanium screws (K103332 and K051567), both locking and nonlocking. This submission includes additional lengths of non-locking screws. Plates have a low overall height, rounded edges, polished surfaces and incorporate TriLock Technology with use of TriLock (locking) screws. All plates are made from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67, and all screws are made from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE

The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following predicate devices:

TriMed Inc., TriMed Ulnar Osteotomy Plate, cleared under K043263.

The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have the same technological characteristics. The subject and predicate devices are all fabricated from the same or similar materials and share similar design characteristics, including plate screw holes to accommodate locking and non-locking screws, and a screw hole angled for placement of a screw perpendicular to a 45° osteotomy. The subject and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, and the subject device is compatible with screws from the predicate devices K103332 and K051567. The subject and predicate devices are packaged using the same materials, and are to be sterilized by the same methods. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.

Performance data provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence included detailed dimensional analysis of the subject and predicate device designs, engineering analysis and dynamic mechanical testing of the subject and predicate plate designs.

Overall, APTUS® Ulna Shortening 2.5 has the following similarities to the predicate devices:

  • has the same intended use, .
  • . uses the same operating principle,
  • incorporates the same basic design, ●
  • incorporates the same or very similar materials, and .
