## Intended Use

The AxSOS® SPS Monoaxial Locking Plates in the Stryker Locked Plating system are intended for use in long bone fracture fixation. The AxSOS® SPS Monoaxial Locking Plates are indicated for fixation of long bone fractures including the distal radius, the proximal humerus, the distal tibia, proximal tibia and the distal femur.

## Device Story

AxSOS® Stryker Locked Plating System line extension adds cable plug styles to existing bone fixation system. Device consists of metallic bone plates and screws used for long bone fracture fixation. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Provides mechanical stabilization of fractures. Subject device modifications involve cable plug geometry; functional and mechanical properties remain consistent with predicate systems.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical and functional testing demonstrated comparable properties to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system (plates and screws) manufactured from Stainless Steel. Designed for long bone fracture fixation. System utilizes monoaxial locking mechanism. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory 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 Ms. Matarese:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
