## Intended Use

The Emerge Medical Small Fragment Locked Plating System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula, including osteopenic bone.

## Device Story

System comprises stainless steel plates (straight, reconstruction, periarticular t-plates, humerus, one-third tubular), standard cortex screws, locking cortex screws, standard cancellous screws, and washers. Plates feature threaded locking holes and non-threaded dynamic compression slots. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for internal fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions. Provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Non-sterile delivery requires sterilization by the user.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed according to ASTM F382 demonstrated performance equivalent or superior to predicate devices. No clinical data required.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel (ASTM F138 and F139). Components: Plates (various styles/lengths), cortex/cancellous screws, washers. Features: Threaded locking holes, non-threaded dynamic compression slots. Mechanical testing per ASTM F382. Provided non-sterile.

## 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 [K041860](/device/K041860.md)

Dear Ms. Potvin:

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. Drue, 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. Iisting 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.
