ZPS One-Third Tubular Plates, T-Plates, Symphyseal Bridge Plates, Reconstruction Plates, and Contourable Dual Compression Plates are indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures, such as:

comminuted fractures
· supracondvlar 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 Calcaneal plates are indicated for temporary internal fixation of osteotomies and fractures of the calcaneus. ZPS and Forte Screws are temporary internal fixation devices designed to stabilize fractures during the normal healing process

Device Description

The ZPS System 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. The Forte Cancellous Screws are used with the ZPS Plates to form a fixation construct.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study information for the Zimmer Plates and Screws System (ZPS):

Device Name: Non-sterile Zimmer® Plates and Screws System (ZPS) Compression/Reconstruction/Symphyseal Plates and Forte Cancellous Screws

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria (What was measured)	Reported Device Performance
Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1 and GLP)	All testing passed.
Mechanical Properties (Static and Fatigue Testing)	Similar mechanical properties to predicate devices.
Beam Bending Cross-Sectional Analysis	Similar to predicate devices.
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices	Met, based on similar intended use, basic shape, compatible diameters, materials, and performance characteristics.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices. Descriptions relate to the types of ZPS plates and Forte screws and their corresponding predicate devices that underwent testing.
Data Provenance: Non-clinical (laboratory testing). No information on country of origin, but it's implied to be internal testing by Zimmer, Inc. The testing was retrospective as it was conducted to support the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance evaluation was established through standardized testing methodologies (e.g., ISO 10993-1, mechanical testing protocols). No human experts were involved in establishing "ground truth" for these performance metrics.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. The performance data is objective and derived from physical testing, not subjective human assessment.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices."

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance:

Not applicable. This is a medical device (plates and screws), not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is assessed physically, not through computational means.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth for the non-clinical performance data was based on:
- Standardized testing protocols: For biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1) and mechanical properties (static, fatigue, beam bending).
- Predicate device performance: The "ground truth" for comparative effectiveness was the established performance of the legally marketed predicate devices. The new device was deemed acceptable if its performance was "similar" to these predicates.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no training set.

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. 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

Regulation Number and Section

§ 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.
