Device Description
The Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System is composed of metallic plates (arch bars) and locking screws that provide temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary bone during fracture healing and/or temporarily maintain a stable occlusion during surgery. Mandibular and Maxillary Fixation (MMF) is achieved through application of fixation plates and locking screws to bone; wire or elastics are then secured around hooks. The arch bar plate is manufactured from Commercially Pure Titanium; and the locking screws are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and surgical application of metallic plates and screws, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for temporary stabilization and fracture healing, which falls under the definition of therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is used for temporary stabilization of fractures and maintaining occlusion, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of metallic plates and locking screws, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on the mechanical properties of these hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System is a surgical device used for the temporary stabilization of bone fractures in the jaw. It is applied directly to the patient's bone.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples. The device's function is mechanical fixation.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a surgical implant or fixation device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Indications for Use: The Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System is indicated for temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary fractures to maintain proper occlusion during surgery and for post-operative fracture healing in adults and adolescents (age 12 and older) in whom permanent teeth have erupted.

Contraindications: 1. Patients with mental or neurological conditions who are unwilling or incapable of following postoperative care instructions: 2. Patients with limited blood supply, insufficient quantity or quality of bone; 3. Foreign body sensitivity; where material sensitivity is suspected, testing is to be completed prior to implantation; 4. Severely comminuted fractures or unstable fractures; 5. Active or latent infection; 6. Patients in whom damage to un-erupted permanent teeth is anticipated.

The Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System is composed of Device Description: metallic plates (arch bars) and locking screws that provide temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary bone during fracture healing and/or temporarily maintain a stable occlusion during surgery. Mandibular and Maxillary Fixation (MMF) is achieved through application of fixation plates and locking screws to bone; wire or elastics are then secured around hooks. The arch bar

plate is manufactured from Commercially Pure Titanium; and the locking screws are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).

Predicate Devices:

Primary: K061271, KLS Erich Arch Bar Secondary: K122313, Stryker Universal SMARTLock Hybrid MMF System K040983, Lorenz Self-Drilling IMF Screw

Similarities to Predicate Devices: The predicate and subject devices are metallic implants intended to be used for the temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary bone during fracture healing and/or temporarily maintain a stable occlusion during surgery. The subject device combines the technology of the primary predicate (arch bar) with that of reference predicates (bone screws). Primary predicate and subject device consist of an arch bar plate used to achieve MMF when secured by wires or elastics. Subject device is also similar to reference predicate Lorenz Self-Drilling IMF screws by incorporating a screw design with the same thread geometry, material, and similar lengths.

The indications for use and intended use of the subject device and all predicates are similar.

Subject and predicate devices are similar in dimensions; arch bars and plates may be cut to length as needed by patient anatomy. Screw diameters and lengths are similar and the proposed screws do not fall outside of the dimensions set by predicate devices.

Differences to Predicate Devices: The subject device has design differences from the predicate devices which are intended to eliminate the need for interdental wiring of the arch bar for fixation, help approximate the bar in an anatomic position and provide greater screw placement options. The subject device includes an arch bar manufactured from Commercially Pure Titanium and screws manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The KLS Erich Arch Bar is manufactured from Stainless Steel.

Non-Clinical Performance Data: All non-clinical performance testing passed according to the acceptance criteria. Testing was conducted as follows:

  • . Screw - Insertion/Fracture Torque, Bending/Shear, Push-Through
  • Plate and Screw Construct Static and Fatigue Testing .
  • Simulated Use Cadaver Lab .

Clinical Performance Data: Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.

Sterilization Information: The implants are provided non-sterile to be sterilized by the end user.

Substantial Equivalence: The predicate and subject devices are metallic implants for the temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary bone during fracture healing and/or

5

temporarily maintain a stable occlusion during surgery. The primary predicate device achieves fixation through the use of an arch bar that is wired to the teeth (interdental wiring). The subject device achieves fixation through the use of an arch bar that is fixated with bone-borne screws.

The indications are considered substantially equivalent because both devices are intended to be used in MMF procedures. The principles of operation are also considered substantially equivalent because both systems include an arch bar as the main component used to achieve MMF closure. This arch bar, in both designs, has hooks spaced across the length of the bar; wires or elastics are wrapped around the hooks of the mandible and maxilla bars to bring the jaws into proper occlusion and maintain this placement until healing has occurred.

The subject device includes an arch bar manufactured from Commercially Pure Titanium and screws manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The KLS Erich Arch Bar is manufactured from Stainless Steel. This is substantially equivalent as all materials are standard metals and alloys appropriate for use in dental applications. The materials used in the subject device are identical to those used in reference predicates, where information is known.

The Biomet Microfixation OmniMax MMF System utilizes similar principles of operation of the predicate devices. It has nearly identical intended use, indications for use, material, and technological characteristics similar to the legally marketed predicate devices. It is concluded that the information included in this summary supports substantial equivalence.
