Intended Use
The PolyLock System is indicated for use in the treatment of bone fractures, arthrodesis, osteochondritis, and interfragmentary indications in the small bones of the hand, foot, and ankle, including the distal tibia, talus, and calcaneus. Including, fusions of the forefoot and midfoot, stabilization of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th tarsometatarsal fusions, intercuneiform, navicular-cuneiform, talo-navicular, calcaneo-cuboid, and medial column fusions, first metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus/rigidus correction, first metatarsal fracture fixation, arthrodesis of the first metatarsal cuneiform joint, and arthrodesis/fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
Device Description
The PolyLock Plating System consists of various shapes and sizes of plates for the management of orthopedic osteotomies, reconstruction, and trauma of the foot, ankle, and hand. Features include a low profile, limited contact plate capable of dynamic/manual compression, with threaded screw holes accepting both poly-axial and locking screws. The system also consists of poly-axial and locking screws with diameters consisting of 2.0mm, 2.4mm, 2.7mm, 3.5mm and 4.0mm with lengths from 8mm to 60mm. System instrumentation includes: drill bits, countersinks, K-wires, olive wires, depth gauges, reamers, driver shafts, guides, plate benders, clamps, and driver handles to facilitate the placement of the screws. The implants are intended for single use only. Instruments designed for bone removal are intended for single use only, such as: drill bits, countersinks, reamers, K-wires, and olive wires.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical plating system for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for "treatment" of various orthopedic conditions, such as bone fractures and arthrodesis, which signifies a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for the "treatment of bone fractures, arthrodesis, osteochondritis, and interfragmentary indications" using plates and screws, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details various hardware components including plates, screws, drill bits, countersinks, K-wires, olive wires, depth gauges, reamers, driver shafts, guides, plate benders, clamps, and driver handles. This indicates it is a physical medical device system, 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 a surgical implant system for treating bone fractures and performing fusions in the hand, foot, and ankle. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details plates, screws, and surgical instruments used for orthopedic procedures. These are physical devices used during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any testing of biological samples.

Therefore, the PolyLock System is an orthopedic surgical device, not an In Vitro 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 Eli Jacobson:

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.
