Intended Use

The modified screw designs for use with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery are intended for use in the treatment of fractures and reconstructive procedures of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and non-weight bearing fixation, including cranial bone fixation, brow fixation and orbital fixation. Each device is intended for single use only and only in conjunction with other titanium and titanium alloy implants.

Device Story

Modified titanium alloy bone screws designed for use with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System. Screws provide mechanical fixation of titanium/titanium alloy plates to craniomaxillofacial bony tissue. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for fracture treatment and reconstructive procedures. Single-use implants; intended for non-weight bearing applications. Device functions as a mechanical fastener to stabilize bone segments, facilitating healing and structural reconstruction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use comparison to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy bone screws of varying diameters and lengths. Mechanical fixation device. Designed for use with titanium/titanium alloy plates. Non-sterile (implied) or single-use implant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring treatment of fractures or reconstructive procedures of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton, including cranial, brow, and orbital bone fixation. For non-weight bearing fixation only.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bone plate is a metal device intended to stabilize fractured bone structures in the oral cavity. The bone segments are attached to the plate with screws to prevent movement of the segments.

## Description of the device

Modified screw designs for use with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery includes titanium allov screws of varving diameters and lengths and are used for fixation of unalloved, commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy plates to the craniofacial bony tissue.

## Intended used of the device

The modified screw designs for use with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery are intended for use in the treatment of fractures and reconstructive procedures of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and non-weight bearing fixation, including cranial bone fixation and orbital fixation. Each device is intended for single use only and only in conjunction with other titanium and titanium allov implants.

## Comparison of the devices' technological characteristics with those of predicate devices

The modified screw designs for use with the Bioplate® Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery has the same indications for use as the Bioplate. Inc., Walter Lorenz, Synthes USA. Osteomed Corp., and KLS-Martin predicate devices. All of the technical characteristics of the modified screw designs for use with the Bioplate Rigid Fixation Bone Plating System for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery are substantially equivalent to the corresponding characteristics of the predicate devices, and any minor differences raise no new issues of safety and efficacy.

Dear Ms. Jones:

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 (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. 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 (PMA), 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 898.
