Intended Use
The system intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions, involving the radius, ulna, and carpals. Additionally, the wrist fusion plates may be used for wrist arthrodesis.
Device Story
System comprises metallic bone fixation plates (volar, wrist fusion, spanning, forearm, ulnar) and fasteners (screws, pegs); used for fracture fixation, osteotomies, malunions, non-unions, and wrist arthrodesis. Plates feature pre-contoured anatomy, low-profile design, and bi-planar angulated screw holes. Volar plates include pre-assembled PEEK inserts allowing variable angle (up to 11 degrees) for locking/non-locking fasteners. Surgeons operate device in clinical/OR settings to stabilize bone segments. Output is physical fixation of bone; aids in bone healing and structural restoration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performed static and dynamic plate loading (ASTM F382), screw pullout strength (ASTM F543), and locking mechanism push-out testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Plates/screws manufactured from medical grade stainless steel (ASTM F138/F139), electropolished (ASTM F86). Volar plates include PEEK inserts (Invibio, LTD). Features low-profile geometry, bi-planar angulated screw holes, and compression or locking cortical screw options. Mechanical fixation device; no software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions of the radius, ulna, and carpals; wrist arthrodesis using wrist fusion plates. Patient population includes individuals requiring orthopedic bone fixation.
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 Linda Braddon:
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. 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.

| Device Description | The Avanti Distal Radius and Forearm System includes volar plates, wrist fusion<br>plates, spanning plates, forearm plates, ulnar plates, and cannulated screws,<br>with screw and peg fasteners, for the fixation of fractures, malunions, and<br>osteotomies. Distal radius and forearm fixation plates may be placed on the<br>volar or dorsal surface of the radius and along the shaft of the radius and ulna<br>on the carpal bones. Features of the system include pre-contoured plates to fit<br>the anatomy of the distal radius, a low-profile design to minimize soft tissue<br>irritation, low contact design to optimize blood supply, and bi-planar angulated<br>screw holes for ease of drilling and to optimize fixation and subchrondral<br>support.<br>All plates are manufactured from medical grade stainless steel per ASTM F138<br>or ASTM F139 and are electropolished per ASTM F-86. The Volar PEEK Plate has<br>a polyetheretherkeytone that is preassembled to the plate and is sourced from<br>Invibio, LTD. The PEEK insert allows insertion of both locking and non-locking<br>fasteners with an infinite variable angle up to 11 degrees using the drill guide |
| | provided in the system. All plates include low-profile geometry to minimize soft<br>tissue irritation and the option of compression or locking cortical screws.<br><br>The Avanti Distal Radius and Forearm System includes self-tapping screws, listed<br>below, that are manufactured from medical grade stainless steel per ASTM<br>F138, electropolished per ASTM F-86, and are compatible with all Avanti plate<br>configurations. All fasteners but the Cannulated Screw are intended to be used<br>with the plates. The cannulated screws can be used for fracture fixation that is<br>appropriately sized for the device which is determined through surgeon<br>discretion. |
| Intended Use | The system intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, malunions, and non-<br>unions, involving the radius, ulna, and carpals. Additionally, the wrist fusion<br>plates may be used for wrist arthrodesis. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | The subject Avanti Distal Radius and Forearm System is technological similar to<br>other similarly intended devices in that it has the same technological<br>characteristics to its predicate devices through comparison in areas including<br>design, intended use, material composition, function, and range of sizes. The<br>subject system differences technologically in that the volar plate comes with a<br>pre-assembled PEEK insert. The PEEK insert allows insertion of both locking and<br>non-locking fasteners with variable angle up to 11 degrees using the drill guide<br>provided in the system. |
| Non-Clinical<br>Performance<br>Testing Conclusion | Non-clinical testing was performed to demonstrate the Avanti Distal Radius and<br>Forearm System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices. The<br>following tests were performed:<br>Static and dynamic plate loading per ASTM F382 Screw pullout strength via ASTM F543 Locking Mechanism Push-Out Testing |
| Substantial<br>Equivalence<br>Summary | The Avanti Distal Radius and Forearm System has been shown to be substantially<br>equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. |
