Intended Use
The OrthoPediatrics Titanium PediPlates® System is used for the express and sole purpose of redirecting the angle of growth of long bone(s). This is useful for gradually correcting angular deformities in growing children. Specific conditions/diseases for which the device will be indicated include: valgus, varus or flexion, extension deformities of the knee (femur and/or tibia), valgus, varus, or plantar flexion deformities of the ankle, valgus or varus deformities of the elbow (humerus), radial or ulnar deviation, flexion or extension deformities of the wrist (radius).
Device Description
The OrthoPediatrics Titanium PediPlates® System consists of two and four-hole plates featuring a contoured mid-section and a low profile for pediatric use. There is a small provisional fixation hole in the center of the O and I-Plates to aid in accurate placement of the device relative to the growth plate. The plates are available in various sizes to accommodate variations in bone size and geometry. The plate is affixed to the bone using two to four screws (solid and cannulated), depending on which plate is selected.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and equivalence to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for "redirecting the angle of growth of long bone(s)" to gradually correct "angular deformities in growing children," which directly addresses and treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is used for correcting angular deformities in growing children by redirecting the angle of growth of long bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical plates and screws, which are hardware components.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant (plates and screws) used to physically redirect bone growth in children. It is applied directly to the bone and does not involve testing samples from the body.

The OrthoPediatrics Titanium PediPlates® System is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures.

§ 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.

The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics:

Intended Use: The proposed Titanium PediPlates® System is used for the express and sole purpose of redirecting the angle of growth of long bones which is the same as the predicate K093442.

Indications for Use: Indications for Use are identical to the predicate.

Materials: The proposed Titanium PediPlates® System is manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V conforming to ASTM F136 which is the same material as the predicate.

Design Features: The proposed Titanium PediPlates® System incorporates similar design features as the predicate.

Sterilization: The proposed Titanium PediPlates® System is provided non-sterile and require sterilization prior to use which is the same sterilization method utilized for the predicate.

Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)

  • . Non-Clinical Tests
    Non-clinical substantial equivalence testing including static bend testing, torsional testing, and four-point bend testing were performed comparing the proposed Titanium PediPlates® System to the Orthofix Guided Growth System (K093442). Testing concluded that the Titanium PediPlates® System will performed equivalently to the Orthofix Guide Growth System.

  • . The proposed Titanium PediPlates® System was tested in an MR Environment and determined to be MR Conditional.

  • . Clinical Tests - None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

OrthoPediatrics believes that the Titanium PediPlates® System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate, Orthofix Guide Growth Plate System (K093442) based on the similarities of design, intended use, materials, sizing, and the results of verification activities conducted. No new risks have been identified and it is expected that the Titanium PediPlates® System will perform substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
