The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.
Yes
This device is a system of plates and screws used for the fixation of fractures, which directly contributes to the treatment and repair of injuries, qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a system of plates and screws for fixing fractures of the humerus, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components made of titanium alloy (plates, screws, trials, instruments), indicating it is a hardware-based medical device for fracture fixation.
No, this device 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 Description: The PRCT2 is a system of plates and screws intended for the fixation of fractures of the humerus. This is a surgical implant used directly on the bone within the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for treating fractures and related issues of the proximal humerus, which is a structural repair within the body, not a diagnostic test on a sample.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant for orthopedic use, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
PRCT2 is indicated for use in fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The mechanical properties of the Fx Solutions PRCT2 device were tested in accordance with ASTM F382-99, Standard Specification and Test Method for Metallic Bone Plates, and ASTM F543-13, Standard Specification and Test Method for Metallic Bone Screws. The Fx Solutions device was mechanically tested side-by-side against the predicate device. The test results show equivalence in terms of mechanical strength, therefore substantially equivalent.

§ 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. Ferguson:
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.
