## Indications for Use

This device is intended for use in selective trauma of the cranial skeleton, cranial surgery and reconstructive procedures.

## Device Story

LeForte Neuro System Bone Plate & Screw consists of titanium plates and screws used for rigid fixation in cranial surgery, trauma, and reconstruction. Device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments. Operated by surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Output is physical fixation of bone; aids healing by maintaining alignment. Benefits include structural support for cranial bone during recovery. Device is non-sterile, single-use, and requires surgical implantation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Pure Titanium (ASTM F67) for plates, Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136) for screws. Plate thickness 0.3-0.6mm; screw diameter 1.4-1.9mm; screw length 2.2-5.0mm. Surface treatment: Anodizing on plates. Non-sterile, single-use. Mechanical fixation device.

## 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.

- 7. Indications for Use:
This device is intended for use in selective trauma of the cranial skeleton, cranial surgery and reconstructive procedures.

- 8. Contraindications:
	- · Not for use in cases of active or suspected infection or in patients previously sensitized to Titanium.
	- · Not for use in patients exhibiting disorders which would cause the patient to ignore the limitations of rigid fixation plate and screw implants.
- 9. Potential Adverse Affects:
	- Poor bone formulation, Osteoporosis, Osteolysis, Osteomyelitis, inhibited revascularization, or infection can cause loosening, bending, cracking or fracture of the device or premature loss of fixation with the bone, leading to nonunion,
	- Nonunion or delayed union which may lead to breakage of the implant
	- Migration, bending, fracture or loosening of the implant
	- Metal sensitivity, or allergic reaction to foreign body "
	- . Decrease in bone density due to stress shielding
	- . Pain, discomfort, or abnormal sensation due to the presence of the device
	- . Increased fibrous tissue response around the fracture site and/or the implant
	- . Necrosis of bone
	- . Inadequate healing

Apart from these adverse effects there are always possible complications of any surgical procedure such as but not limited to, infection, nerve damage and pain which may not be related to the implant.

- 10. Predicate comparison:

Dear Mr. Sumner:

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. 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 (reporting of medical
