Intended Use
The ORTHOLOC™ SPS is intended for fractures and fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone.
Device Story
ORTHOLOC™ SPS is a metallic bone fixation system for proximal humerus fractures. System comprises anatomical plates (Standard, Posterior, Greater Tuberosity) and locking/non-locking screws. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings to achieve anatomical reduction and stable primary fixation. Device provides mechanical support to bone fragments during healing. Surgeon selects appropriate plate/screw configuration based on fracture pattern; implants are secured to bone to stabilize the site. Benefits include restoration of skeletal alignment and stability, particularly in compromised (osteopenic) bone.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including plate bending/fatigue (ASTM F382-17), screw torsion/driving torque/axial pullout (ASTM F543-17), engineering analysis, and cross-sectional comparisons.
Technological Characteristics
Plates: stainless steel (ASTM F138). Locking screws: stainless steel (ASTM F2229). Non-locking screws: stainless steel (ASTM F138). System is non-sterile; requires steam sterilization. Mechanical fixation via locking/non-locking screw-plate interface.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus, including those 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 Ms. Stoffel:
We have reviewed vour 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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) for

#### Non-clinical Performance Testing
Non-clinical bench testing (mechanical testing) was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
- o Plate Bending and Fatigue to ASTM F382-17
- Screw Torsion, Driving Torque, and Axial Pullout to ASTM F543-17 ●
- Engineering Analysis of the Greater Tuberosity Plate ●
- Cross Sectional Analysis comparing the subject and predicate plates
#### Clinical Testing
