Device Description
The CONQUEST FN system is comprised of contoured locking bone plates and compatible locking and non-locking bone screws. The subject premarket notification describes additional lengths of the proximal locking compression screws to the Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN system.

They will be provided in a sterile packaged option and will be sterilized via Gamma irradiation.
More Information

No
The document describes a system of bone plates and screws for fracture fixation and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a surgical implant (plates and screws) used to stabilize and fix bone fractures, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a system of locking bone plates and screws indicated for the treatment of femoral neck fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "contoured locking bone plates and compatible locking and non-locking bone screws" made of "implant-grade stainless steel," which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating bone fractures (displaced and undisplaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures). This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is comprised of bone plates and screws, which are implants used to stabilize bone fractures. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a surgical implant used to repair a physical injury.

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

  • OR-17-111: Axial Pullout Strength Evaluation was conducted on the CONQUEST FN proximal locking compression screws as compared to the Targon FN Titanium System. Results of the test concluded that the CONQUEST FN Locking Screws met the acceptance criteria and exhibited similar or superior axial pullout strength compared to the predicate device.
  • OR-17-164: Axial Pullout Strength Evaluation was conducted on the CONQUEST FN . proximal locking compression screws as compared to the cannulated screws. Results of the test concluded that the CONQUEST FN proximal locking screws met the acceptance criteria and exhibited similar or superior axial pullout strength as compared to the predicate device.

Bacterial endotoxin testing was completed and met the acceptable endotoxin limits as stated in FDA Guidance , "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile," "Pyrogen and Endotoxin Testing: Questions and Answers," and ANSI/AAMI ST72.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Chan:

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 of medical device-related 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.

Comparison to Technological Characteristics with Predicate Device

Device comparisons described in this premarket notification demonstrated that the proposed CONQUEST FN proximal locking compression screws are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices listed below with regard to intended use, indications for use, and performance characteristics.

The subject proximal locking compression screws features characteristics very similar to the CONQUEST FN system proximal locking compression screws cleared via K152686, with the primary differences being shorter overall screw length and minor thread length differences. All other design aspects, indications for use, intended use, material and fundamental scientific technology remain the same as those in K152686.
