Intended Use
The ANTHEM® Fracture System is indicated for fixation of fractures, arthrodesis and reconstruction of bones for the appropriate size of the device to be used in adult patients, including the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, small bones (metacarpals, phalanges), wrist, pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot. The clavicle hook plate may be used for dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint. Mini fragment plates are also indicated for fixation of fractures of the acetabulum, patella, and bone fragments, replantation, malunions and nonunion, and for non-load bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments. Metaphyseal plates are indicated for non-load bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments, and for fixation of bones including the radius and ulna. Small fragment, mini fragment, proximal tibia, clavicle, metaphyseal, and distal fibula plates may be used in all pediatric subgroups (except neonates) and small stature adults. Distal tibia, metaphysed, and mini fragment plates may be used in adolescents (12-21 years of age). Plating may be used in patients with osteopenic bone.
Device Description
The ANTHEM® Fracture System is a family of plates and screws designed to be used for internal bone fixation. The implants are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate patient anatomy, and may be contoured or straight, with various lengths and types of screws. ANTHEM® implants are manufactured from commercially pure titanium alloy, cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy, or stainless steel.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a system of plates and screws for bone fixation and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for internal bone fixation for fractures, arthrodesis, and reconstruction, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The ANTHEM® Fracture System is described as a family of plates and screws designed for internal bone fixation (treatment), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "family of plates and screws designed to be used for internal bone fixation" and are manufactured from metal alloys. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for the fixation of fractures, arthrodesis, and reconstruction of bones. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of plates and screws made from materials like titanium, cobalt chromium, or stainless steel, designed for internal bone fixation. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens for diagnostic purposes.

The ANTHEM® Fracture System is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not a diagnostic device.

§ 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 Jennifer Antonacci:

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.

Purpose:

The purpose of this submission is to request clearance for ANTHEM® Distal Tibia plates and other line extensions to the cleared ANTHEM® Fracture System.

Device Description:

The ANTHEM® Fracture System is a family of plates and screws designed to be used for internal bone fixation. The implants are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate patient anatomy, and may be contoured or straight, with various lengths and types of screws. ANTHEM® implants are manufactured from commercially pure titanium alloy, cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy, or stainless steel.

Indications for Use:

The ANTHEM® Fracture System is indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and reconstruction of bones for the appropriate size of the device to be used in adult patients, including the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, small bones (metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges), wrist, pelvis, femur, tibia,

fibula, ankle, and foot. The clavicle hook plate may be used for dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint. Mini fragment plates are also indicated for fixation of fractures of the acetabulum, patella, and bone fragments, replantation, malunions and nonunion, and for non-load bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments. Metaphyseal plates are indicated for non-load bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments, and for fixation of bones including the radius and ulna.

Small fragment, mini fragment, proximal tibia, clavicle, metaphyseal, and distal fibula plates may be used in all pediatric subgroups (except neonates) and small stature adults. Distal radius, distal tibia, metaphyseal, and mini fragment plates may be used in adolescents (12-21 years of age). Plating may be used in patients with osteopenic bone.

Performance Data:

Performance of the subject ANTHEM® Fracture System plates was evaluated in accordance with ASTM F382. Engineering analysis was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011. Biocompatibility of patient-contacting materials was demonstrated by using materials that meet applicable standards, or are used in 510(k) cleared devices.

Technological Characteristics:

Subject ANTHEM® implants have similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices including overall design (prominence and footprint), intended use, material composition, and function. New Distal Tibia and Mini Fragment plates were added. Sterile implant options were added for consistency. Plates and screws fall within the range of previously cleared sizes: the plates are also compatible with previously cleared screws. New material specifications for existing plates are in accordance with the same material standards.

Basis of Substantial Equivalence:

The subject ANTHEM® Fracture System has been found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to technical characteristics, performance, and intended use. The information provided supports substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
