Intended Use
The Eminent Foot Plate System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, revisions, replantations, of bones and bone fragments including tarsals, metatarsals, calcaneus, foot, and ankle.
Device Story
Eminent Foot Plate System comprises titanium plates and bone screws for orthopedic fixation. System includes 24 plate types (e.g., Evans, Metatarsal, Calcaneus, Osteotomy) and associated surgical instruments. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone fragments during fracture repair, osteotomy, or revision surgery. Plates feature screw holes for bone attachment. Device provides mechanical stabilization to facilitate bone healing. Non-sterile delivery requires sterilization by healthcare facility prior to use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included static and dynamic three-point bending (ASTM F382), torsion testing (ASTM F543), and static axial pullout testing (ASTM F543). Results demonstrate mechanical strength sufficient for intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade titanium (ASTM F136). Components: 24 plate types and bone screws. Principle: Metallic bone fixation appliance. Delivery: Non-sterile. Connectivity: None (mechanical device).
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, revisions, and replantations of bones and bone fragments in the foot and ankle (tarsals, metatarsals, calcaneus). Contraindicated in patients with active/latent infection, sepsis, osteoporosis, insufficient bone/soft tissue quality, or material sensitivity; not for use in posterior elements (pedicles) of the spine.
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.

## DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:
The Eminent Foot Plate System consists of implants and instruments designed for fixation to treat fractures, deformations, revisions and replantations of bones and bone fragments. The system features twenty four (24) types of plates (Evans, Metatarsal, Metatarsal Left, Metatarsal Right, Metatarsal Step Left, Metatarsal Step Right, PMO Right, PMO Right, PMO Wedge Left, PMO Wedge Right, Osteotomy Left, Osteotomy Right, Osteotomy Wedge Left, Osteotomy Wedge Right, Osteotomy L Left, Osteotomy L Right, Peanut Slotted, Utility, Utility Long, Lis' Franc, Calcaneus, Calcaneus Long, and Forefoot H), bone screws for fixation, and a set of instruments to facilitate installation and removal of the implants. The plates have screw holes, which allow for attachment to the bones or bone fragments. The plates are fabricated from medical grade titanium (ASTM F136), and offered in various widths and lengths. Plates and screws are provided non-sterile.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Eminent Foot Plate System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, revisions, replantations, of bones and bone fragments including tarsals, metatarsals, calcaneus, foot, and ankle.
#### CONTRAINDICATIONS
Active or latent infection. Osteoporosis, insufficient quantity or quality of bone/soft tissue. Material sensitivity. If suspected, tests should be performed prior to implantation. Sepsis. Patients who are unwilling or incapable of following postoperative care instructions. This device
{5}------------------------------------------------
is not intended for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Specifically the following characteristics are similar between the subject and predicates:
- . Indications for Use
- Materials of manufacture ●
- Structural support mechanism ●
- . Principles of Operation

| K071105, K091614,<br>K131445, K133437 | FPS – Foot Plate System | Osteomed | Additional |
#### Performance Data
The Eminent Foot Plate System has been tested in the following test modes:
- . Static Three-point Bending Test per ASTM F382
- Dynamic Three-point Bending Test per ASTM F382 ●
