## Intended Use

The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System is indicated for use in providing fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteolomies. The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System includes plates and screws designed specifically for the phalanges, metatarsals, tarsals, tibia and fibula.

## Device Story

System consists of titanium bone plates and screws used for orthopedic fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies in lower extremities (phalanges, metatarsals, tarsals, tibia, fibula). Plates are pre-bent to minimize intraoperative contouring. Instruments are provided to assist in plate and screw insertion. Device is used by surgeons in clinical settings. Output is mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium per ASTM F136. Components: Bone plates and screws. Form factor: Pre-bent plates for lower extremity anatomy. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile.

## Regulatory Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Device Description: The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System consists of bone plates and screws for fractures, fusions, and osteotomes: The bone plates are pre-bent to minimize bending which is done intraoperatively. Instruments are supplied with the implants to aid in the insertion of the plates and screws. All plates and screws are manufactured from titanium in conformance with ASTM F136. Plates and screws are provided non-sterile.

Intended Use: The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System is indicated for use in providing fixation during fractures, fusions, and osteolomies. The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System includes plates and screws designed specifically for the phalanges, metatarsals, tarsals, tibia and fibula.

These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics: The Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System are made out of Titanium as per ASTM F136. The predicates devices listed use cither 316L stainless steel or Titanium as per ASTM F136.

An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.

Based upon the similarities of the Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acumed Lower Extremity Congruent Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced.
