No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties, materials, and sterilization of bone plates and screws. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes.
The device, the Bonebridge Osteosynthesis Plating System, is indicated for the internal fixation of fractures and non-unions of various bones, which makes it a therapeutic device used for treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is an osteosynthesis plating system intended for treating fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is a therapeutic device used for fixation.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of plates, screws, and instruments made of physical materials like stainless steel and titanium, which are 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 internal fixation of bone fractures and related conditions (malunions, non-unions, osteotomies) in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a plating system consisting of plates, screws, and instruments made of materials like stainless steel and titanium. These are physical implants and surgical tools, not reagents, analyzers, or other components typically associated with IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality. The device's function is mechanical support and stabilization of bone.

In summary, the Bonebridge Osteosynthesis Plating System is a surgical implant and instrument system used for treating bone fractures, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 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)

DEVICE DESCRITION

The Bonebridge Osteosynthesis Plating System is intended for treating fractures of various bones. It consists of plates, locking and non-locking screws for fixation and corresponding instruments. The plating system is further subdivided into variants/types based on the anatomical location of the fracture.

Plates and screws are made of stainless steel (ISO 5832-1 or ASTM F138 or ASTM F139) or pure titanium (ASTM F67 or ISO 5832-2). All materials used are biocompatible, corrosion-resistant and nontoxic in a biological environment. Surgical instruments are made of stainless steel (ISO 5832-1 or ASTM F138 or ASTM F899), medical grade PEEK, medical grade EPDM terpolymer, or medical grade silicone.

7

All plates are sterilized with gamma irradiation and delivered sterile. Screws and instruments are delivered non-sterile. Devices supplied in a non-sterile condition must be cleaned and steam sterilized prior to surqical use. Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the devices are MR Conditional.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have the same technological characteristics. The subject and predicate devices are all fabricated from the same or similar materials and share similar design characteristics, including plate screw holes to accommodate locking and non-locking screws. The subject and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, and the subject device is compatible with screws from the predicate devices. The subject and predicate devices are sterilized by the standard methods. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.
