The IXOS Radius Plate System is intended for surgical procedures in which internal fixation by implants is required for aligning, reconstruction and stabilizing bone tissue. It is used in particular for fixing intra- and extra articular acute fractures of the distal radius, in particularly - · Type A2 Colles fractures - · Type A3 fractures - · Type B1 fractures - · Type B2 Barton fractures - · Type B3 Smith or reversed Barton fractures - · Type C1 fractures - · Type C2 fractures - · Type C3 fractures and in osteotomies of the distal radius.
Device Story
IXOS Radius Plate System consists of metallic bone fixation plates and screws; used for internal fixation, alignment, reconstruction, and stabilization of distal radius fractures and osteotomies. Device utilized in surgical settings by orthopedic or hand surgeons. Implants provide mechanical support to bone tissue during healing. System design, materials, and intended use are analogous to existing market-cleared fixation systems. Clinical benefit derived from stabilization of fractures to facilitate bone union.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic 4-point bending tests performed on the device and predicate. Screws tested per ASTM F543-13. Biocompatibility testing performed to confirm biological safety.
Technological Characteristics
Metallic bone fixation plates and screws. Testing conducted per ASTM F543-13 for screws. Mechanical performance validated via static and dynamic 4-point bending tests. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring internal fixation for alignment, reconstruction, and stabilization of bone tissue, specifically for acute intra- and extra-articular distal radius fractures (Types A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3) and distal radius osteotomies.
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 Fabian Stuckenbrock:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
