(100 days)
The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7 mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long is intended for intra- and extra-articular fractures, osteotomies, nonunions of the distal radius, with or without extension into the radial diaphysis in adults and adolescents (12-21) where the growth plates have fused or will not be crossed, and the following adolescent distal radius fractures:
- Intra-articular fractures exiting the epiphysis
- Intra-articular fractures exiting the metaphysis
- Physeal crush injuries
- Any injuries which cause growth arrest to the distal radius.
The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long will be available in stainless steel and titanium. The head of the plate will remain the same as the existing 2.4mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate (K102694) and will therefore allow the use of the existing guide block for these plates. The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long will come in 3 different lengths (7 shaft holes, 10 shaft holes and 13 shaft holes). To accommodate different patient anatomy, the plate with 7 shaft holes will be available with three different plate head widths (Standard, Narrow and Wide). The 10 shaft hole and the 13 shaft hole plate will only be released with the Standard plate head width and additionally they feature a curvature in the shaft. All plates will feature left- and right-specific designs and will be offered in sterile packed only.
The DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plates, Extra-Long are designed to accept existing 2.4mm Variable Angle Locking Screws, 2.4mm Cortex Screws, 2.4mm Locking Screws, 1.8mm VA Buttress Pins and 1.8mm Locking Buttress Pins in the plate head holes. In the plate shaft, existing 2.4mm Cortex Screws, 2.7mm Cortex Screws, 2.4mm Variable Angle Locking Screws, 2.7mm Variable Angle Locking Screws, 2.4mm Locking Screws, and 2.7mm Locking Screws can be inserted.
This 510(k) premarket notification is for a medical device called the "DePuy Synthes 2.4/2.7mm VA-LCP Two-Column Volar Distal Radius Plate, Extra-Long". It is a metallic bone fixation appliance and accessories. This document does not describe the acceptance criteria or studies for an AI/ML device. It focuses on the substantial equivalence of a physical medical implant to existing predicate devices through mechanical and biocompatibility testing. Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information.
§ 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)
