The device description and intended use clearly define a system of plates, screws, and instruments for mechanical fixation of fractures. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and usability, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
Explanation: The device, the Bonebridge Osteosynthesis Plating System, is intended for internal fixation of various bone fractures (e.g., tibia, fibula), which is a form of medical treatment. Therefore, it is a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an osteosynthesis plating system, intended for the internal fixation of fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly 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 osteotomies. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details plates, screws, and instruments made of materials like stainless steel and titanium, designed for surgical implantation and fixation of bones.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The provided information does not mention any testing of biological samples.
The device described is a surgical implant system used for orthopedic procedures, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

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 (ASTM F899, ISO 7153-1, ISO 5832-1, and ASTM F138/139), medical grade PEEK, medical grade EPDM terpolymer, or medical grade silicone, 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 surgical use. Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the devices are MR Conditional.

§ 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.

Dear Michelle Gumpelmayer:
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/cdrb/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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
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 (ASTM F899, ISO 7153-1, ISO 5832-1, and ASTM F138/139), medical grade PEEK, medical grade EPDM terpolymer, or medical grade silicone, 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 surgical 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, similar indications for 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 nonlocking screws. The subject and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, and the subject device is compatible with screws from the predicate
7
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.
