The summary describes a mechanical bone plate system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is a bone plate system used for stabilization of fractures and reconstruction, which is a structural implant, not a therapeutic device designed to treat or cure a disease or condition through non-structural means.
No
This device is a bone plate system designed for stabilization and fixation of bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly details physical components made of titanium (plates and screws), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System is a surgical implant designed to stabilize bones. It is a physical device used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for stabilizing fractures, fusions, and reconstructions of bones, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro testing.

Device Description
The DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System is designed with rhombus (parallelogram) plates of biocompatible titanium. The plates use either 2.7mm or 3.5mm screws which intersect each other in pairs. The drill holes of the plates are aligned to assure the screws do not touch. The plates vary essentially through different curvatures, material strengths, number of plate holes and through different grades or bridge widths.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Analysis has shown that the performance of the subject bone locking plate system is not a worse case construct of the predicate DARCO® Locking Bone Plate family which is equivalent to the original predicate Normed Titanium Osteotomy Plating system design. The safety and effectiveness of the DARCO® Locking Plate System is adequately supported by the testing rationales, substantial equivalence information, and comparison of design characteristics provided within this premarket notification.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Redden:
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 (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

(a)(5). Intended Use
The DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion, and reconstruction of small bones of the feet, ankles and toes. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients.
(a)(6). Technological Characteristics Comparison
The DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicates. Two additional locking bone plates are being added to the subject DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System: the TOM Plate (Step) and the Rahmanzadeh plate (General). Both of these plates have identical indications, identical material composition and similar design features compared to other plates of the DARCO® System.
(b)(1). Substantial Equivalence- Non-Clinical Evidence
The DARCO® Locking Bone Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicates. Analysis has shown that the performance of the subject bone locking plate system is not a worse case construct of the predicate DARCO® Locking Bone Plate family which is equivalent to the original predicate Normed Titanium Osteotomy Plating system design. The safety and effectiveness of the DARCO® Locking Plate System is adequately supported by the testing rationales, substantial equivalence information, and comparison of design characteristics provided within this premarket notification.
(b)(2). Substantial Equivalence- Clinical Evidence
N/A
(b)(3). Substantial Equivalence- Conclusions
The design characteristics of the subject devices do not raise affect the safety or effectiveness of the system. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform substantially equivalent to the predicate system.
