Device Description
The DePuy Synthes Sternal Fixation System consists of machined titanium plates, a quickrelease pin and 3.0 mm locking screws. The plates utilize screw fixation to create the construct. The proposed additions to the MatrixRlB Fixation System include sternal plates (straight plates, I-plates and T-plates) for fixation and reconstruction of the chest wall manufactured from commercially pure titanium (CP Ti Grade 4). The previously cleared devices in the MatrixRlB Fixation System (K133616 and K081623) include locking plates, locking screws, and intramedullary splints for the fixation and stabilization of the chest wall for use in patients with normal or osteoporotic bone quality. These implants are available in multiple sizes and are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6A-7Nb). The MatrixRIB Self-Drilling Screws (K190409) are available as locking screws, for permanent fixation, and non-locking screws, for temporary fixation only. The screws are provided in a range of lengths - locking screws: 13 lengths from 8mm to 20mm, with 1mm increments - and non-locking screws: 2 lengths from 10mm to 12 mm, with 2 mm increments. The major diameter of the bone thread is 2.7 mm, and all of the screws are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are focused on mechanical fixation systems (plates, screws, splints) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or capabilities related to AI or ML. The performance studies are related to MR compatibility, not algorithmic performance.

Yes

The device is intended for the closure/repair of the sternum and chest wall and to promote fusion, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it treats a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a sternal and rib fixation system used for surgical repair and stabilization of the sternum and ribs following injury or for chest wall deformities. Its purpose is therapeutic (fixation and stabilization) rather than diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of machined titanium plates, a quick-release pin, and locking screws, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for the fixation and stabilization of the sternum and ribs following surgery or fracture. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as consisting of plates, screws, and a pin made of titanium. These are physical implants designed to provide structural support.
  • 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 a surgical implant used in vivo.

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

Non-clinical testing is provided to support the conditional safety of the Sternal Fixation System in the MR environment including assessment of magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-14) and torque (ASTM F2213-06), radio frequency (RF) heating (ASTM F2182-11a), and image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07). The DUKE model places devices in the clinically relevant anatomic position. The DUKE results will be used for labeling of RF heating. The non-clinical performance data demonstrate that the subject devices, when exposed to the MR environment under specific MR conditions of use, raise no new questions of safety or efficacy.

§ 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)

Dear Jeffrey Krawiec:

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. 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

1

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
