## Intended Use

Wright's ORTHOLOC® Calcaneal Plating System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of bones in the feet and ankles. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients.

## Device Story

The ORTHOLOC® Calcaneal Plating System is a metallic bone fixation system used by orthopedic surgeons for foot and ankle reconstruction, fracture stabilization, and joint fusion. The system comprises two plate styles (Tab and Perimeter) and 3.5mm diameter locking and non-locking screws (10-60mm). Tab plates feature adjustable/cuttable tabs; Perimeter plates feature removable sections to accommodate patient anatomy. The hole design allows screw insertion from either side, enabling universal left/right orientation. The device is implanted during surgery to provide mechanical stability to bone segments, facilitating healing. It functions as a traditional orthopedic fixation implant; no software or AI components are involved.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical mechanical testing, including static bend testing and screw-through-plate testing, demonstrating performance equivalent or superior to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system consisting of plates and 3.5mm locking/non-locking screws. Features adjustable/cuttable tabs and removable sections for anatomical fit. Universal left/right orientation. Sterilization method is identical to predicate devices. 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. Jeanine Redden:

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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

#### 4. Device Description

The ORTHOLOC® Calcaneal Plating System consists of 2 styles of plates (Tab and Perimeter) and features 3.5mm diameter locking and non-locking screws that range from 10-60mm each. The Tab plates are offered in three different sizes: small, medium, and large, and feature multiple tabs that can be manipulated or cut to accommodate for various patient anatomy. The Perimeter plates come in two sizes: small and large and also feature removable sections. The ORTHOLOC® hole design on the plates allow for the screws to be inserted from either side. This allows each plate to be used in either a right or a left orientation.

#### 5. Intended Use

Wright's ORTHOLOC® Calcaneal Plating System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of bones in the feet and ankles. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients.

#### 6. Technological Characteristics Comparison

The ORTHOLOC® Calcaneal Plating System compared the legally marketed predicate device has limited indications, utilizes similar instrumentation, is made of stronger material, and has identical sterilization methods.

#### 7. Substantial Equivalence- Non-Clinical Evidence

Mechanical testing, including Static Bend Testing and Screw through Plate testing, has shown that the performance of the subject plating system is statistically equivalent or greater than the predicate plating system.

#### 8. Substantial Equivalence- Clinical Evidence

N/A

#### 9. Substantial Equivalence- Conclusions

The design characteristics of the subject devices do not raise any new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate systems and are substantially equivalent.
