Intended Use

The Stryker VariAx 2 Compression Plating System is intended for internal fixation of bones in adult patients.

Device Story

VariAx 2 Compression Plating System is an internal bone fixation device. System consists of metallic plates and compatible screws used to stabilize fractures in radius, ulna, humerus, clavicle, distal tibia, and fibula. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat fractures, osteotomies, mal-unions, and non-unions. Components available in sterile and non-sterile formats; plate lengths range from 30-246mm. Device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Substantial equivalence established via dynamic fatigue testing compared to predicate systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, specifically dynamic fatigue testing.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation plates and screws. Metallic construction. Dimensions: 30-246mm length. Mechanical fixation principle. Sterile and non-sterile availability.

Indications for Use

Indicated for internal fixation of fractures in the radius, ulna, humerus, clavicle, distal tibia, and fibula in adult patients. Includes osteotomies, mal-unions, non-unions, and single, segmental, or comminuted fractures in patients with normal or osteopenic bone density.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Small Fragment Dynamic Compression Locking (DCL) System (K000684)
• SYNTHES (USA) 3.5 AND 4.5 MM LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE SYSTEM WITH EXPANDED INDICATIONS (K082807)

Dear Ms. Celi:

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.
