The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant (reconstruction plates and screws) and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
Explanation: The device is an implantable plate used for stabilizing fractures, which is a structural support device, not a therapeutic device that administers therapy or treatment.

No
The device, Synthes 2.7 mm Reconstruction Plates, is described as plates used to treat distal humerus fractures and is used with screws. There is no mention of it performing any diagnostic function or providing any diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical plate made of stainless steel, used with screws and bending irons, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Synthes 2.7 mm Reconstruction Plates are surgical implants used to fix bone fractures. They are physically placed within the body to stabilize a broken bone.

The description clearly indicates a surgical device for treating a physical injury, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

§ 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.
