No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and intended use for fracture fixation and soft tissue attachment, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as a fixation plate for various fractures and soft tissue attachments to bone, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "low profile, 'one-hole plate' design with spiked projections to engage the metaphyseal bone" used for fixation of fractures and soft tissue to bone. This indicates it is a surgical implant for treatment, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical implant (plate with spiked projections, central hole for screw fixation, radiused cutouts) used for bone and soft tissue fixation, which is a hardware medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant (a plate) used for the mechanical fixation of bone fractures and soft tissue. This is a physical intervention performed on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic measurements.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the DePuy ACE Spider Plate is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The DePuy ACE Spider Plate is a low profile, "one-hole plate" design with a family of diameters to account for various fracture locations and spiked projections to engage the metaphyseal bone in any anatomic region. The DePuy ACE Spider Plate is also indicated for the fixation of soft tissue, such as tendon and ligaments, to bone in orthopaedic procedures. Five different overall diameters (three small, two large) have been designed to provide adequate clinical flexibility. The top profile has an overall diameter with a central hole for screw fixation; two of the washers have an offset screw hole with an additional k-wire hole. There are eight radiused cutouts producing eight arms that are designed to engage the metaphyseal bone.

§ 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.

- · Distal Femur Fracture Comminuted Shaft Fractures
- · Fixation of soft tissue, such as tendon and ligaments, to bone
DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE RATIONALES:
The DePuy ACE Spider Plate has been previously cleared by the FDA for fracture fixation. Intended Uses are being expanded to include the fixation of soft tissue, such as tendon and ligaments, to bone.
The DePuy ACE Spider Plate is a low profile, "one-hole plate" design with a family of diameters to account for various fracture locations and spiked projections to engage the metaphyseal bone in any anatomic region. The DePuy ACE Spider Plate is also indicated for the fixation of soft tissue, such as tendon and ligaments, to bone in orthopaedic procedures. Five different overall diameters (three small, two large) have been designed to provide adequate clinical flexibility. The top profile has an overall diameter with a central hole for screw fixation; two of the washers have an offset screw hole with an additional k-wire hole. There are eight radiused cutouts producing eight arms that are designed to engage the metaphyseal bone.
The Acumed Suture Washer (K965028) is intended for soft tissue fixation, small and large bone fixation and is used in conjunction with a titanium bone screw. The DePuy ACE Spider Plate and the Acumed Suture Washer are similar in design and function. Based on the above, DePuy ACE Medical Company considers the DePuy ACE Spider Plate to be substantially equivalent to the Acumed Suture Washer.
