Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize proximal humerus fractures, osteotomies, or non-unions. Operates via internal fixation; plates and screws provide mechanical stability to bone segments to facilitate healing. Output is the physical stabilization of the bone construct. Benefits include restoration of skeletal alignment and support for bone union. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evidence includes detailed dimensional and engineering analysis and fatigue testing of plate and screw constructs. ## Technological Characteristics Commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67) plates and spiral blades; titanium alloy (ASTM F136) locking and cortical screws. Mechanical fixation system. Sterilized via standard methods. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plate ([K011815](/device/K011815.md)) - Synthes LCP® Proximal Humerus Plates, long ([K041860](/device/K041860.md)) - Exactech® Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System ([K093978](/device/K093978.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The plates are used with TriLock locking screws and cortical screws. APTUS Proximal Humerus plates and spiral blades are made of commercially pure titanium, grade 4, conforming to ASTM F67. TriLock locking and cortical screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. #### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE APTUS® Proximal Humerus System is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following legally marketed predicate devices, each of which has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device: Synthes (USA), Synthes LCP Proximal Humerus Plate, cleared under K011815; Synthes (USA), Synthes (USA) LCP® Proximal Humerus Plates, long, cleared under K041860; and Exactech, Inc., Exactech® Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System, cleared under K093978. The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and have the same technological characteristics. The subject and predicate devices are all fabricated from the same or similar materials and share similar design characteristics. The subject and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged using the same materials, and are to be sterilized by the same methods. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy. Performance data provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence included detailed dimensional and engineering analysis of the subject and predicate devices, and fatigue testing of subject device and predicate device plate and screw constructs. Overall, the APTUS Proximal Humerus System has the following similarities to the predicate devices: - has the same intended use, . - uses the same operating principles, . - incorporates the same basic designs, . - incorporates the same or very similar materials, and . - has similar packaging and is sterilized using the same materials and processes. . {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
