The device description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a fracture fixation plate, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is a fracture fixation plate, which is a medical device used to treat fractures by stabilizing bone fragments, facilitating healing and restoring function.
No
This device is a fracture fixation plate, which is a therapeutic device used to provide mechanical support to facilitate healing of bone fractures, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical fracture fixation plate made of Titanium 6A1-4V ELI, which is a hardware component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body.
- Device Description: The DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is a fracture fixation plate. It is an implantable device used inside the body to stabilize bone fractures.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to fix specific types of bone fractures in the distal tibia. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is a fracture fixation plate intended for use in pilon fractures (distal tibial intra-articular fractures), high medial malleolar fractures, and low boot type rotational distal extra-articular tibial shaft fractures. The plate profile consists of a shaft portion with compression slots, a diamond-shaped structure with four screw holes and two k-wire guide holes for the distal metaphyseal region, and finally, an arm which wraps anteriorly to address the anterior crush fracture and facilitate articular surface reconstruction. The plate thickness is 1.6 mm in the shaft region and is decreased to 1 mm in the distal region to facilitate contouring and maintaining anatomic reduction of the fracture. The shaft portion is thicker for strength
The plate is supplied pre-formed to a contour, which closely matches the distal tibia anatomy. The general contour includes a medial bend from the distal metaphyseal region combined with an internal rotation. The most distal profile includes the anterior arm with a large bend from the medial to the anterior surface with the bend apex located adjacent to the anterior strut.
The open architecture of the distal region allows easy contouring by the surgeon to accommodate the anatomical topography of the distal tibia and also to promote fracture healing. The screw holes have been designed to allow low profile interaction with the heads of the following screws: 3.5mm cortical screw, 4.0mm cancellous screw, and the periarticular screw. The plate will be offered in a right and left model with various lengths of the shaft region.
The DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is manufactured from Titanium 6A1-4V ELI (per ASTM standard F136).

§ 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 DESCRIPTION AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE RATIONALES:
The DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is a fracture fixation plate intended for use in pilon fractures (distal tibial intra-articular fractures), high medial malleolar fractures, and low boot type rotational distal extra-articular tibial shaft fractures. The plate profile consists of a shaft portion with compression slots, a diamond-shaped structure with four screw holes and two k-wire guide holes for the distal metaphyseal region, and finally, an arm which wraps anteriorly to address the anterior crush fracture and facilitate articular surface reconstruction. The plate thickness is 1.6 mm in the shaft region and is decreased to 1 mm in the distal region to facilitate contouring and maintaining anatomic reduction of the fracture. The shaft portion is thicker for strength
The plate is supplied pre-formed to a contour, which closely matches the distal tibia anatomy. The general contour includes a medial bend from the distal metaphyseal region combined with an internal rotation. The most distal profile includes the anterior arm with a large bend from the medial to the anterior surface with the bend apex located adjacent to the anterior strut.
The open architecture of the distal region allows easy contouring by the surgeon to accommodate the anatomical topography of the distal tibia and also to promote fracture healing. The screw holes have been designed to allow low profile interaction with the heads of the following screws: 3.5mm cortical screw, 4.0mm cancellous screw, and the periarticular screw. The plate will be offered in a right and left model with various lengths of the shaft region.
The DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is manufactured from Titanium 6A1-4V ELI (per ASTM standard F136).
DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate was compared to the Synthes steel cloverleaf plate and was found to have a higher yield bending strength and was lower bending stiffness.
Based on the above information, DePuy ACE Medical Company firmly believes that the new DePuy ACE TiMAX™ Pilon Plate is substantially equivalent to the Synthes Steel Cloverleaf Plate (pre-amendment device).
