The Level One Hand Plating System is used for stabilization of fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the hand, wrist, fingers, feet, ankles and toes.
The Level One (L1) Hand Plating System includes metallic plates, washers, and screws intended for small bone fixation. Plates are pre-contoured to accommodate patient anatomy, available in various shapes and range in thickness from 0.6mm - 3.0mm, and are compatible with the standard and multidirectional locking screws offered in the system. Screws are self-tapping, available in a standard or multidirectional locking configuration and range in diameter from 1.0mm - 2.7mm with lengths from 2mm - 32mm. Standard screws may be used alone or in conjunction with the washers or plates for small fragment osteosynthesis. Implants are manufactured from CP Titanium (ASTM F67) or Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136). The system includes the necessary instrumentation to facilitate implantation. The purpose of this submission is to offer the previously cleared non-sterile device system in K141489 in sterile packaging via gamma irradiation.
This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves a device meets such criteria in the context of device performance, as it is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Level One Hand Plating System).
The primary purpose of this document is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, focusing on material, design, intended use, and a change in sterilization method (from non-sterile to sterile via gamma irradiation).
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample size, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not applicable to this submission.
The document states:
- "Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence." This indicates that no clinical performance study, as might be required for new or high-risk devices, was performed or presented.
- The non-clinical performance data section focuses on biocompatibility and bacterial endotoxin testing to support the change to sterile packaging, rather than demonstrating performance against specific clinical or diagnostic acceptance criteria.
In summary, this document is concerned with regulatory approval based on equivalence, not with proving new performance claims against defined acceptance criteria.

Dear Mr. Moore:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 9, 2017.
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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

Technological Characteristics & Substantial Equivalence Discussion
Similarities to Predicate
The subject and predicate device systems are identical with respect to intended use, materials, principle of operation, design, range of sizes offered, and mechanical performance. Anatomical sites and fixation methods used for the subject and predicate devices are identical. The subject and predicate devices are for prescription use only by qualified and trained physicians in healthcare facilities/hospitals.
Differences to Predicate
The only difference between the subject and predicate device system is the method of sterilization. The predicate device system includes components that must be sterilized by the end-user. The subject device components will be provided sterile in sterile packaging via gamma irradiation.
Non-Clinical Performance Data
Biocompatibility endpoints were evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993. The results of the testing did not product unexpected findings compared to the predicate device, and therefore, adequately addresses biocompatibility for implants with a permanent duration of contact.
Testing was performed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011 for detection and quantification for the presence of bacterial endotoxins. The results of the testing demonstrate that the subject device in sterile conforms to the required EU/device for implants and meet pyrogen limit specifications.
The subject device encompasses the previously cleared predicate devices to offer them sterile using gamma irradiation. No changes have been made to the mechanical properties, design, mechanism of action, intended use, or manufacturing process.
Clinical Performance Data
Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.
Conclusion
The L1 Hand Plating System has the same intended use and technological features compared to the predicate device. The L1 Hand product line will be offered in sterile packaging and have different stock numbers from the originally cleared stock numbers to identify the product as sterile. The similarities in technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and the performance data provided in the submission demonstrate the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
§ 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.
