The device description focuses on mechanical components (plates, screws, instrumentation) and material properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are bench tests related to mechanical properties and MR compatibility, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device functions to stabilize and fix fractures, which is a supportive role rather than directly treating a disease or condition for therapeutic effect.
No
This device is a thoracic plating system used for the stabilization and fixation of fractures of the chest wall. It is a surgical implant and does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, monitoring, or predicting diseases or conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of plates, accessories, and instrumentation made from titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the stabilization and fixation of fractures of the chest wall, including the sternum. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device consists of plates, screws, and instrumentation used for surgical implantation.
- 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 compatibility testing.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support.

Device Description
The JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System consists of plates and accessories designed to provide fixation following sternotomy and sternal reconstructive surgical procedures, trauma, or planned osteotomies. The system includes instrumentation which has been specifically designed for use with this system of implant. The system is comprised of an assortment of various plate configurations, locking screws, and accompanying instrumentation. Variants of the plates include flat and pre-contoured concave and convex plates. Plates may be bent to fit patient anatomy. Plates are secured using previously cleared JACE self-drilling locking bone screws (K142484), which are offered in a single diameter of 3.5mm and have a range of lengths from 10mm to 20mm. There are no changes to the screws and they are not within the scope of this 510(k). Like the predicate device, all implant components are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6-Al-4 ELI) per ASTM F136. All implants in the JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System are intended for single use only. The plates, screws, and all associated instrumentation will be provided nonsterile, to be steam sterilized by the end user. MR compatibility has been established.

§ 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 Dawn Norman:
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.

Plates are secured using previously cleared JACE self-drilling locking bone screws (K142484), which are offered in a single diameter of 3.5mm and have a range of lengths from 10mm to 20mm. There are no changes to the screws and they are not within the scope of this 510(k). Like the predicate device, all implant components are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6-Al-4 ELI) per ASTM F136. All implants in the JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System are intended for single use only. The plates, screws, and all associated instrumentation will be provided nonsterile, to be steam sterilized by the end user. MR compatibility has been established.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System is indicated for use in the stabilization and fixation of fractures of the chest wall including sternal fixation following sternotomy and sternal reconstructive surgical procedures, trauma, or planned osteotomies.
The Indications for Use statement for the JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended therapeutic use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and primary predicate device have the same basic intended use for the treatment of fractures of the chest wall, by stabilization and fixation through attachment of plates.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The subject JACE Medical Thoracic Plating System components are substantially equivalent with respect to indications for use, design, dimension, principles of operation, general surgical technique and materials to the primary predicate and the JACE Sternal Closure System, previously cleared by the FDA.
There are insignificant differences between the subject device and primary predicate device. The subject device plate thickness range and screw diameter slightly differs from the predicate device. The subject device has a range of screw lengths of 10-20mm while the primary predicate has screw lengths from 8-20mm. Additionally, the subject device and primary predicate device each have multiple geometric configurations for plate shapes. While many plates have the same or similar configurations, the subject device and primary predicate systems do not contain the exact same configurations.
