The system includes plates (straight, Y, hockey stick configurations), pegs, screws, and K-wires, supplied in a sterilization tray with reusable (peg drivers) and disposable (drill guides, drill bits) instruments. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for fracture repair, revision, joint fusion, and reconstruction. The device provides mechanical support to bone fragments to facilitate healing. No software or electronic components involved. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and technological similarities to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F 136-00. Components: Orthopedic plates, pegs, screws, K-wires. Accessories: Reusable peg drivers, disposable drill guides/bits. Sterilization: Provided in a sterilization tray. Connectivity: None. Software: None. ## 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 - Fragment Plate System ([K041081](/device/K041081.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Standards | Performance standards have not been established by the FDA under section 514 of
the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. | | Indications for
Use | The proposed Mini Fragment Plates are intended for essentially non load bearing
stabilization and fixation of small bone fragments in fresh fractures, revision
procedures, joint fusion, and reconstructions of small bones of the hand, foot, wrist,
ankle, humerus, scapula, finger, toe, pelvis, and craniomax, illofacial skeleton. | : : {1}------------------------------------------------ K061748 (pg 2 of 2) | Device
Description | The proposed Mini Fragment Plates are a set of orthopedic plates and fasteners
supplied in a sterilization tray together with several reusable and disposable tools.
The set of orthopedic plates and fasteners provided in the sterilization tray consists of
the following implantable devices: Fragment Plates that are provided in the following design configurations: Straight, Y, Right Hockey Stick, and Left Hockey Stick. Pegs; Screws; and K-Wires. | | |------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--| | | Included in the sterilization tray are the following re-useable instruments: Peg drivers, Other standard surgical tools. | | | | In addition, the following are non-reusable instruments included in the sterilization
tray: F.A.S.T. Guide Technology™ Drill Guide, Drill bits. | | | Biocompati-
bility | The Proposed Mini Fragment Plates do not require biocompatibility testing because
the material is the same as the previously approved Fragment Plate System. The
material is Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F 136-00 and also has a long history of safe
use in the Orthopedic industry. | | | Summary of
Substantial
Equivalence | The proposed Mini Fragment Plates has the following similarities to the previously
cleared Fragment Plate System : (K041081). Have the same indications for use and intended use Have the same basic shape/design Use the same operating principle Utilize the same materials | | | | In summary, the changes incorporated in the proposed Mini Fragment Plates do not
alter the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate device and therefore, in
our opinion, is substantially equivalent to the predicate Fragment Plate System. | | {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the United States.
