Intended Use
The TOMOFIX™ Medial High Tibia Plates are indicated for open- and closed-wedge osteotomies, fixation of fractures, and malalignment caused by injury or disease of the medial proximal tibia for the treatment of: Unicompartmental medial or lateral gonarthrosis with malalignment of the proximal tibia Idiopathic or posttraumatic varus or valgus deformity of the proximal tibia
Device Description
The subject Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical is anatomically precontoured to fit the medial side of the proximal tibia (also referred to as high tibia) and is provided in a 'left' and 'right' version to accommodate the anatomy of the tibia in the left and right knee, respectively. The plate features seven round, threaded locking holes to provide a locked, fixed-angle construct and one combination locking / dynamic compression hole to allow temporary compression during the surgery. The subject plate is designed to accept existing, previously cleared 5.0 mm Locking Screws, 4.5 mm Cortex Screws and 5.0 mm Spacers
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (bone plate) and its intended use and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or data sets, which are typically associated with AI/ML medical devices.

Yes
The device is described as being used for the "treatment of: Unicompartmental medial or lateral gonarthrosis with malalignment of the proximal tibia Idiopathic or posttraumatic varus or valgus deformity of the proximal tibia" and for "fixation of fractures." These uses indicate a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a bone plate intended for internal fixation in osteotomies and fractures of the tibia, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implant (plate and screws) made of titanium, not software.

Based on the provided information, the TOMOFIX™ Medial High Tibia Plates are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The TOMOFIX™ Medial High Tibia Plates are surgical implants designed to fix fractures and correct malalignment of the tibia. They are used in the body during surgery, not to test samples from the body.

The description clearly indicates a medical device used for surgical intervention, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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 Stephan Jepards:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 19, 2018

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 mav, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

initially cleared via K100676 |
| Device
Description: | The subject Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical is anatomically
precontoured to fit the medial side of the proximal tibia (also referred to as high tibia)
and is provided in a 'left' and 'right' version to accommodate the anatomy of the tibia
in the left and right knee, respectively. The plate features seven round, threaded
locking holes to provide a locked, fixed-angle construct and one combination locking
/ dynamic compression hole to allow temporary compression during the surgery.
The subject plate is designed to accept existing, previously cleared 5.0 mm Locking
Screws, 4.5 mm Cortex Screws and 5.0 mm Spacers |
| Indications for
Use: | The TOMOFIX™ Medial High Tibia Plates are indicated for open- and closed-wedge
osteotomies, fixation of fractures, and malalignment caused by injury or disease of the
medial proximal tibia for the treatment of:
Unicompartmental medial or lateral gonarthrosis with
malalignment of the proximal tibia Idiopathic or posttraumatic varus or valgus deformity of the
proximal tibia |
| Comparison to
Predicate | The subject device and the predicate are identical with respect to indications and
intended use.
The subject Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical feature
equivalent characteristics as the predicate devices. Specifically, identical
technological characteristics are as follows: Plates are compatible with 5.0 mm Locking Screws for angular, stable fixation Plates are compatible with 4.5 mm Cortex Screws to allow temporary compression of the lateral hinge Plates are offered sterile and non-sterile The differences in design features between the subject plates and the predicate and reference devices are listed below. The subject plates are available in a pre-shaped left and right version to accommodate the anatomy of the left and right tibia, respectively. The subject plates only feature one LCP combination-hole, where the predicate and reference devices each feature three LCP combination-hole in total. |
| Substantial
Equivalence: | The subject Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical has identical
indications compared to the predicate device. The features of the subject device are
substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the similarities in intended
use and design. Mechanical testing demonstrates substantial equivalence of the
subject device to the predicate device.

In addition, the intended use, packaging, and sterilization of the predicates compared to the subject devices are identical. The subject and predicate devices are both made from commercially pure titanium grade 4 (TiCP4) in accordance with ASTM F67,
UNS R50700.

Mechanical testing demonstrates that the proposed Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical is substantially equivalent in mechanical properties to the predicate device. The subject device was tested under static and dynamic loading conditions to demonstrate mechanical equivalence compared to the predicate device.

In conclusion, the indications, technological characteristics, and performance testing demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject Titanium TomoFix™ Medial High Tibia Plate Anatomical. |
