Device Facts

• Record ID: K063049
• Device Name: SYNTHES (USA) MODULAR MINI FRAGMENT LCP SYSTEM
• Applicant: Synthes (Usa)
• Product Code: HRS · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Dec 18, 2006
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3030
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The Synthes (USA) Modular Mini Fragment LCP System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small bone fragments, particularly in osteopenic bone. Examples include, but are not limited to, the hand, wrist, foot, and ankle.

Device Story

Modular Mini Fragment LCP System consists of locking compression plates and screws (2.0, 2.4, 2.7 mm sizes). Configurations include straight, condylar, T-, Y-, and adaption plates. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for internal fixation of small bone fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions. Locking mechanism provides stability, particularly beneficial in osteopenic bone where traditional screw purchase may be compromised. System components are implanted to provide rigid fixation, facilitating bone healing and structural support.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and intended use comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system comprising locking compression plates and screws. Sizes: 2.0, 2.4, and 2.7 mm. Configurations: straight, condylar, T-, Y-, and adaption plates. Materials: metallic (implied stainless steel based on predicate). Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small bone fragments, including osteopenic bone, in patients requiring surgical intervention in areas such as the hand, wrist, foot, and ankle.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Dear Dr. Clark

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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
