Plates and mesh are 0.4-0.6 mm thick; screws are 1.5-1.8 mm diameter and 3-6 mm long. System includes various plate shapes (straight, box, X, Y, double Y, strut) and circular burr hole covers (with or without shunt access). Used in cranial surgery and trauma to stabilize bone segments. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Screws are self-drilling, eliminating need for pre-drilled pilot holes. Provides mechanical fixation of cranial bone; benefits patient by facilitating structural repair and stabilization of cranial skeleton. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Screw insertion tests demonstrated performance comparable to predicate devices. LAL endotoxin testing performed on plates, screws, and mesh, with all samples showing endotoxin levels below 0.06 EU/ml. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Unalloyed titanium (ASTM F67) for plates/mesh/covers; Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (ASTM F136) for screws. Dimensions: Plates/mesh 0.4-0.6 mm thick; screws 1.5-1.8 mm diameter, 3-6 mm length. Principle: Mechanical fixation via bone plates and self-drilling screws. Non-powered, manual instrumentation. ## Regulatory Identification A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes Low Profile Neuro System ([K042987](/device/K042987.md)) - Synthes 2.0 mm Titanium T-Plate ([K072758](/device/K072758.md)) - Synthes Cranial Spring ([K974206](/device/K974206.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Frontier Devices Neuro System consists of titanium bone plates and screws of
various shapes and sizes.
Plates | | | | | | | | | The plates are made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to the ASTM F67 standard.
Plates are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick and come in a variety of shapes and sizes that are
designed for cranial closure applications. The shapes and corresponding sizes include: | | | | | | | | | Straight plates 9-12mm long (1x1, 2x2, 5 and 7 holes)
Box plates 10mm x 10mm to 16mm x 16mm (4 hole)
X-plate 8mm x 8mm (4 hole)
Y-plate 16mm long (6 and 8 holes) | | | | | | | Frontier Devices 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission Neuro Closure System {1}------------------------------------------------ Double Y-plate 18mm to 21mm long (6 and 8 hole) Strut plate 24 and 35mm long (6 and 8 hole) #### Burr Hole Covers The burr hole covers are are made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to the ASTM F67 standard. They are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick and are circular in shape with equi-spaced drill holes around the circumference. The burr hole covers have two basic shapes. The burr hole cover for shunt has a segment of the circular burr hole cover missing which is where a shunt device is placed. The other burr hole cover is a complete circle. The corresponding sizes include: Burr hole covers Burr hole covers for shunt 12mm to 24mm diameter 12mm to 24mm diameter #### Mesh The mesh is made from unalloyed titanium that conforms to ASTM F67 standard. They are 0.4 and 0.6mm thick and rectangular in shape, 90mm x 120mm. #### Screws The screws are self-drilling screws that do not require a pre-drilled pilot hole and are made from a titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, that conforms to the ASTM F136 standard. Screws are 1.5 to 1.8 mm in diameter and range in length from 3 to 6 mm. Intended Use: Technology #### Frontier Devices Neuro System Frontier Devices Neuro System is intended for use in selective trauma of the cranial skeleton and cranial surgery. The plates and screws of the Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System have similar dimensions, designs and materials as the predicate devices. The plates Characteristics are 0.4 and 0.6 mm thick, made from unalloyed titanium (ASTM F67) and have similar design shapes and sizes as the predicate devices. The screws are all made from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) with diameters of 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm and lengths of 3-6 mm which are similar to the predicate devices. Performance Tests Screw insertion tests on representative screws showed them to have similar results as predicate screws. In addition, LAL endotoxin testing was done on screws, plates and mesh devices and all the devices had endotoxin levels of less than 0.06 EU/ml. Substantial Equivalence The Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System consists of plates and screws that are similar in material composition and have the same indications for use as the predicate device. All of the technical characteristics are substantially equivalent to the corresponding characteristics of the predicate devices. There may be slight differences in dimensions and shapes between the Frontier Devices Neuro Closure System and the predicate devices, however, the information provided in this submission proves substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
