Device Facts

• Record ID: K981070
• Device Name: 20-HOLE ADAPTATION PLATE
• Applicant: Biomet, Inc.
• Product Code: JEY · Dental
• Decision Date: May 20, 1998
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 872.4760
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The 20-Hole Adaptation Plate is intended for use in the following indications: - 1. comminuted fractures of the naso-ethmoidal infraorbital areas - 2. comminuted fractures of the frontal sinus wall - 3. orbital floor fractures

Device Story

The 20-Hole Adaptation Plate is a resorbable fixation device used in surgical procedures to stabilize bone fractures. It is manufactured from LactoSorb, a synthetic copolymer of lactic and glycolic acids. The device is implanted by a surgeon to provide structural support to fractured bone segments during the healing process. The material is designed to degrade and resorb in vivo via hydrolysis, eventually being metabolized by the body, eliminating the need for secondary removal surgery. The plate provides biomechanical strength comparable to existing predicate fixation devices.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on biomechanical strength testing demonstrating performance similar to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Material: LactoSorb (resorbable synthetic polyester copolymer of lactic and glycolic acids). Form factor: 20-hole plate. Principle: Mechanical fixation of bone fractures with in vivo degradation via hydrolysis.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with comminuted fractures of the naso-ethmoidal infraorbital areas, frontal sinus wall, or orbital floor.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bone plate is a metal device intended to stabilize fractured bone structures in the oral cavity. The bone segments are attached to the plate with screws to prevent movement of the segments.

Product Code: 87 HRS

Device Name: 20-Hole Adaptation Plate

## SUMMARY :

The 20-Hole Adaptation Plate is intended for use in the following indications:

- 1. comminuted fractures of the naso-ethmoidal infraorbital areas
- 2. comminuted fractures of the frontal sinus wall
- 3. orbital floor fractures

The 20-Hole Adaptation Plate is made of LactoSorb®. LactoSorb®, resorbable copolymer, is a synthetic polyester" derived from lactic and glycolic acids. Polylactic/ polycolic acid copolymer degrades and resorbs IN VIVO by hydrolysis to lactic and glycolic acids which are then metabolized by the body. The LactoSorb® material has been found to be biocompatible in both soft tissue and bone.

The 20-Hole Adaptation Plate was found to have similar biomechanical strength as predicate devices used in similar indications.

Dear Ms. Verstynen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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 reqistration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A -----...... substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register.
