Intended Use

The Universal Locking System is indicated for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures, including: ○ Comminuted fractures ○ Supracondylar fractures ○ Extra-articular fractures ○ Fractures in osteopenic bone ○ Nonunions ○ Malunions

Device Story

Zimmer Universal Locking System consists of 3.5 mm locking plates and screws for internal fracture fixation. Plate configurations include dual compression, reconstruction, tubular, straight 'T', and oblique 'T'. Plates feature figure-8 shaped holes accommodating standard or locking screws. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for stabilization of bone fractures and osteotomies. Device provides mechanical support to bone segments during healing process; aids in alignment and stabilization of complex fracture types including osteopenic bone. Output is physical fixation of bone fragments.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Tivanium (Ti-6Al-4V alloy) and CP Grade Titanium. System includes 3.5 mm locking plates and screws. Plate designs: dual compression, reconstruction, tubular, straight 'T', and oblique 'T'. Features figure-8 shaped holes for locking or standard screw accommodation. Mechanical fixation device; no energy source or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring temporary internal fixation and stabilization of osteotomies and fractures, including comminuted, supracondylar, and extra-articular fractures, fractures in osteopenic bone, nonunions, and malunions.

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 Mr. Francalancia:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
