Intended Use
APTUS® Wrist 2.5 System is intended for use in hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses.
Device Description
The subject device plates have anatomic designs and are provided in two designs, each for the left and right radius: Lunate Facet Plate and Distal Radius Rim Plate. The Lunate Facet Plates have a maximum thickness of 1.6 mm, and maximum overall dimensions of approximately 19 mm x 47 mm before bending to conform to the anatomy of the distal radius. The Distal Radius Rim Plates have a maximum thickness of 1.8 mm, and maximum overall dimensions of approximately 22 mm x 53 mm before bending to conform to the anatomy of the distal radius. The screw holes of the subject device plates are designed to accommodate appropriately sized bone screws (locking and non-locking) presently marketed as part of the APTUS System and previously cleared under K142906, K103332, and K051567. The subject device plates also are compatible with K-wires cleared under K092038. The subject device plates are made of unalloved titanium. Grade 4, conforming to ASTM F67 Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R50250, UNS R50400, UNS R50550, UNS R50700).
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of bone plates and screws, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not related to AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended for use in hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses, which are medical conditions that require treatment. It helps to stabilize bones during healing.

No

This device is a surgical implant (plates and screws) used for fixing fractures and performing osteotomies and arthrodeses, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description explicitly details physical plates made of unalloyed titanium, along with their dimensions and compatibility with screws and K-wires. This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses." This describes a surgical implant used to treat musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details plates and screws made of titanium, designed to be implanted in the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly an in vivo (inside the body) implant.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence include: biocompatibility (referenced from K142906), engineering analysis, static mechanical testing (according to ASTM F382), and dynamic mechanical testing of the subject and predicate plate designs in a simulated fracture model. Clinical data were not provided in this submission. Performance data provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence included engineering analysis, single cycle bending and bending fatigue testing of the subject device and predicate device plates. In addition, in a simulated fracture models, the dynamic (fatigue) performance of the subject device constructs was superior to that of the predicate device constructs. Substantial equivalence is supported by the mechanical testing of the subject device and predicate device plate and screw constructs.

§ 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 subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use and the same Indications for Use statement.

The subject device and predicate device plates have the same technological characteristics are fabricated from the same materials and share similar design characteristics, including plate screw holes to accommodate locking and non-locking screws. The subject device and predicate device plates also are

provided in pre-contoured designs for the left and right radius, and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions appropriate to the anatomy. Any minor differences in the technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.

The subject device and predicate device plates are provided non-sterile and are to be sterilized by the enduser. The subject device components are packaged using the same materials and are to be sterilized by the same methods as the predicate device.

All of the subject device final finished components are manufactured in the same facilities using identical materials and identical manufacturing processes as used for the predicate device components cleared in K142906, and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate device regarding biocompatibility.

Performance data provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence included engineering analysis, single cvcle bending and bending fatigue testing of the subject device and predicate device plates. In addition, in a simulated fracture models, the dynamic (fatigue) performance of the subject device constructs was superior to that of the predicate device constructs.

Differences between the subject device and predicate device plates include differently shaped anatomic designs for the distal radius. The subject device and predicate device plates have a similar overall shape and similar maximum plate thickness (subject device plates 1.6 mm, predicate plates 1.6 mm and 2.0 mm). Substantial equivalence is supported by the mechanical testing of the subject device and predicate device plate and screw constructs.

CONCLUSION

The subject device and the predicate device plates have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of the same material. The subject device and predicate device plates also are provided in pre-contoured anatomic designs for the left and right radius, and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions appropriate to the anatomy. The subject device and predicate device components are packaged in similar materials and are to be sterilized by the end-user using similar methods.

The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices K142906 and K051567.
