## Indications for Use

LOQTEQ® VA Volar Distal Radius Plate 2.5, LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius Straight Plate 2.5, LOQTEQ® VA Distal Radius L-Plate 2.5 · Fixation of complex intra-articular and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius LOQTEQ® VA Distal Ulna Plate 2.5, LOQTEQ® VA Distal Ulna Hook Plate 2.5 · Fractures and osteotomies of the distal ulna

## Device Story

aap LOQTEQ® VA Radius Set 2.5 comprises metallic bone plates and screws for internal fixation of distal radius and ulna fractures/osteotomies. Surgeon implants device to stabilize bone fragments; locking screws create internal fixator construct. Used in clinical/surgical settings. Output is mechanical stabilization of bone; aids healing by maintaining alignment. Benefits patient through restoration of skeletal integrity.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static and dynamic system tests performed representing worst-case clinical scenarios. Screw testing conducted per ASTM F543-13. Results demonstrate mechanical performance meets pre-defined acceptance criteria.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system. Materials: Ti6Al4V (ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3) and unalloyed Titanium (ASTM F67/ISO 5832-2). Includes various plates (Volar, Straight, L-Plate, Ulna, Hook) and 2.5mm cortical screws. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F543-13.

## 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 Dr. Zietsch:

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 Parts 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

| Performance Data (Non-Clinical and/or Clinical): | Non-clinical tests have been performed and show the substantial equivalence of the device. <u>Summary of Non-clinical tests</u> : <u>Type of test</u> : Static and dynamic system tests, representing worst case scenario with respect to clinical use.             Screw tests according to ASTM F543 – 13. <u>Assessment of test results</u> : Substantial equivalence with respect to the mechanical performance of the aap system could be stated due to the test results gained. The screws fulfil the relevant demands of ASTM F543-13. The subject device is safe and effective, and whose performance meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses. Documentation regarding the mechanical testing to show the substantial equivalence and safety and effectiveness has been provided with this submission. |
