Materials: Stainless Steel (ASTM F138-13a) and Titanium alloy (ASTM F136-12a). Design: Plates with locking/non-locking screw orifices. Standards: ASTM F543 (screws), ASTM F382-99 (plates), ASTM F983-86 (marking), ISO 5832 (metallic materials). Mechanical fixation principle. No energy source, connectivity, or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of complex intra/extra-articular fractures, osteotomies, trauma, reconstructive procedures, fusions, non-unions, and replantations in hand, foot, and ankle bones, including osteopenic bone in adults and adolescents.

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.

Device Description: The Truemed Hand, Foot and Ankle Plates System consist in a variety of plates designed for specific bone areas, with orifices to receive either locking or non- locking screws. The screws can be total or partially threaded, some are self-tapping and they can be with or without locking features. All plates and screws may be manufactured in either Stainless Steel (ASTM 138 - 13a) or Titanium (ASTM F136-12a). - 12. Indications for Intended use for fixation of complex intra and extra- articular fractures use: and osteotomies, selective trauma, reconstructive procedures, fusions osteotomies, non- unions, replantations, complex extra articular fractures and fusions of bones of the anatomical regions of the hand, foot and ankle, particularly for osteopenic bone in adults and adolescents. - Truemed Hand, Foot and Ankle Plates System and predicate devices 13.Technological Arzzt Radius and Ulna System (K182650) are manufactured from the Comparison same metals (stainless steel 316LS and Ti 6AI-4V ELI). Both materials meet specifications and chemical and physical characteristics that are necessary for the development of medical implants according to ISO 5832 Implants for surgery metallic materials. We performed engineering analyses comparing the static bending and 14.Test static torsional yield strengths of the locking plates to the predicate Performed: devices proving to be as strong as the predicate devices. Mechanical Testing was also performed on the screws in accordance to ASTM F543 ANNEX: A1, A2 and A3 (Torsional properties, Insertion and Removal Torque, Axial Pullout Strength). > Engineering Analysis was performed on the plates in comparison to the predicate device. We used sectional views to calculate the Area moment of inertia and distance from the neutral axis to the surface at the minimum cross section using SolidWorks. > According to the minimum yield stress for stainless steel (ASTM F138-13a) and Titanium alloy (ASTM F136-12a), subject device proves to be as functional as predicate device. > Biocompatibility risk assessment was also performed for all components included in the subject device. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image contains the logo for TrueMed Group.

Substantial Equivalence: - The Truemed Hand, Foot and Ankle Plates System has an intended use, target population, materials, performance properties equal to those featured in the predicates K150099, K030310, K050110, K100776, K071264, K020401, K120854, K143191 and K182650. In consideration of the technological and morphological characteristics of the devices, K150099, K030310, K050110, K100776, K071264, K020401, K120854, K143191 and K182650, a review of the product features and design lead us to find substantial equivalence. Engineering analysis and mechanical testing performed on the plates and screws that make up the Truemed Hand, Foot and Ankle Plates System indicate that they are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in performance and functionality. ### CONCLUSION Based on the testing and technological properties of the subject device as compared to the predicate device, we believe that no new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised, and that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
