Intended Use

The A.L.P.S. Clavicle Plating System is indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the clavice including osteopenic bone.

Device Story

A.L.P.S. Clavicle Plating System consists of titanium alloy plates and associated surgical instruments; designed for internal fixation of clavicle fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Implants provide mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. System is provided non-sterile and requires steam sterilization by the user prior to surgery. Device functions as a traditional orthopedic fixation system; no electronic or software components.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including construct static testing and galvanic corrosion evaluation.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136). Form factor: Bone plates and surgical instruments. Sterilization: Non-sterile, requires user-performed steam sterilization. Connectivity: None. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, including in patients with osteopenic bone.

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 Dhaval Saraiya:

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.
