No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and materials of bone plates and screws, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as "intended to bridge or otherwise stabilize bone fragments to facilitate healing" and is indicated for "fixation of fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions, replantations, and fusion of short bones and small fragments of bone," which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is an anatomical plating system designed to stabilize bone fragments and facilitate healing of fractures and other bone conditions; it does not perform diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), such as plates, screws, and washers, which are hardware.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a system of plates and screws intended for the surgical fixation of bone fractures and fusions. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body to provide structural support and facilitate healing.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The device's purpose is entirely mechanical and structural, not diagnostic.

§ 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 Chelsea Smith:
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 (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.
