Intended Use

The Bioplate® ZIP™ Craniotomy Fixation System is intended to reattach a cranial bone flap to the surrounding cranium after a craniotomy procedure. Each device is intended for single use only and only in conjunction with other titanium and titanium alloy implants.

Device Story

Bioplate® ZIP™ Craniotomy Fixation System consists of two circular titanium alloy (6AI4V) disks in parallel configuration, connected by internal serrated post. Used in neurosurgery to reattach cranial bone flap to surrounding cranium post-craniotomy. Device aligns and stabilizes bone segments during healing process. Available in 10mm to 18mm diameters. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical fixation; single-use only.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 6AI4V titanium alloy. Design: Two circular disks in parallel configuration connected by internal serrated post. Dimensions: 10mm to 18mm diameter. Energy source: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for reattaching cranial bone flaps to the surrounding cranium following craniotomy procedures to align and stabilize bony tissue during healing. For single use only; must be used with other titanium or titanium alloy implants.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A preformed nonalterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted in a patient to repair a skull defect and is constructed of a material, e.g., stainless steel or vitallium, that cannot be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.

Dear Ms. Jones:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal ﺎﻧﻚ ﻣ laws or regulations.
