The document describes a system of physical implants (plates and screws) for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical testing and engineering analysis.
Yes.
The device is indicated for "internal fracture fixation of bones and bone fragments," which is a therapeutic intervention.
No.
The device is described as an implantable system for internal fracture fixation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a family of implantable devices consisting of plates and screws, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "internal fracture fixation of bones and bone fragments." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as "implantable devices, consisting of non-contoured, non-anatomic straight and shaped plates... with variable angle screw holes, and two screw types." These are physical implants used to stabilize bone fractures.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such testing.
The device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
DePuy Synthes VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System:
The VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System is indicated for internal fracture fixation of bones and bone fragments of the appendicular skeleton appropriate for the implant size.
The VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System is intended for adults and both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates (physes) have fused or in which unfused growth plates will not be compromised by fixation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the subject devices and support the substantial equivalence to their predicates, the following testing was performed:
• Computational Finite Element Analysis simulating a mechanical static bending construct test, demonstrated subject plates were non-inferior regarding their bending moment and stiffness.
• Engineering analyses and utilization of the Chapman Equation demonstrated subject screws were non-inferior screw regarding their torsional strength and axial pullout strength.
• Assessment in accordance with the FDA Safety and Performance Guidance for orthopedic non-spinal bone screws (i.e. "Orthopedic Non-Spinal Metallic Bone Screws and Washers - Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway (December 2020)") demonstrated the subject screws met the performance criteria for driving torque.
Additionally, Magnetic Resonance compatibility testing has been performed to establish MR Conditional parameters for the subject VOLT™ Mini Fragment and VOLT™ Small Fragment Plating Systems.
Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.

§ 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 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 (the 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 available 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.

| Indications for Use | DePuy Synthes VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System
The VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System is indicated for internal fracture
fixation of bones and bone fragments of the appendicular skeleton
appropriate for the implant size.
The VOLT™ Mini Fragment Plating System is intended for adults and both
children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates
(physes) have fused or in which unfused growth plates will not be
compromised by fixation.

| Contraindications | No contraindications specific to these devices. |
| Non-Clinical
Performance Testing | To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the subject devices and support the
substantial equivalence to their predicates, the following testing was
performed:
• Computational Finite Element Analysis simulating a mechanical static
bending construct test, demonstrated subject plates were non-
inferior regarding their bending moment and stiffness.
• Engineering analyses and utilization of the Chapman Equation
demonstrated subject screws were non-inferior screw regarding their
torsional strength and axial pullout strength.
• Assessment in accordance with the FDA Safety and Performance
Guidance for orthopedic non-spinal bone screws (i.e. "Orthopedic
Non-Spinal Metallic Bone Screws and Washers - Performance Criteria
for Safety and Performance Based Pathway (December 2020)")
demonstrated the subject screws met the performance criteria for
driving torque.
Additionally, Magnetic Resonance compatibility testing has been performed to
establish MR Conditional parameters for the subject VOLT™ Mini Fragment and
VOLT™ Small Fragment Plating Systems. |
| Clinical Performance
Data | Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial
equivalence. |
| Substantial
Equivalence | The subject devices have the same intended use and similar indications as
their predicate devices. Additionally, the subject devices are an iteration on
prior DePuy Synthes plating systems and are therefore similar in terms of
design, material, and fundamental technology.
The non-clinical performance data and analytic evaluations included in this
premarket notification demonstrate that any differences in technological
characteristics of the subject device compared to the predicate device do not
raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. The proposed devices are
at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices. |
| Conclusion | It is concluded that the information provided demonstrate the substantial
equivalence of the subject devices to their predicate devices. |
