Intended Use

The Variax Clavicle Anterior/Superior Lateral and Anterior/Superior Midshaft Plates are indicated for fixation of single, segmental and comminuted fractures, osteotomies, mal-unions, and non-unions of the clavicle.

Device Story

Variax Clavicle System consists of anatomically contoured anterior and superior lateral plates and anterior and superior midshaft plates; used for fixation of clavicle fractures, osteotomies, mal-unions, and non-unions. Plates are secured to bone using 3.5mm or 2.7mm locking or non-locking screws. Device is intended for use by surgeons in an operating room setting to stabilize bone segments, promoting healing and structural integrity of the clavicle. System provides mechanical support to bone fragments during the healing process.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Plates manufactured from Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) and Commercially Pure Titanium (ASTM F67). System utilizes 3.5mm or 2.7mm locking or non-locking screws. Features anatomically contoured anterior and superior lateral/midshaft plate designs.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of single, segmental, and comminuted fractures, osteotomies, mal-unions, and non-unions of the clavicle in patients requiring surgical bone fixation.

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 Ms. Giambanco:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
