Intended Use
The Pangea Utility Plating System is indicated for the internal fixation and stabilization of bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis in normal and osteopenic bone, including: • Diaphyseal, metaphyseal, epiphyseal, extra- and intra-articular fractures • Non-unions, malunions, and deformities • Periprosthetic fractures The Pangea Utility Plating System is also indicated for children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12 – 21 years) for the internal fixation and stabilization of bone fractures of the diaphysis and metaphysis in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by implants. The Pangea Platform is indicated for the internal fixation and stabilization of bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis in normal and osteopenic bone, including: • Diaphyseal, metaphyseal, epiphyseal, extra- and intra-articular fractures • Non-unions, malunions, and deformities • Periprosthetic fractures The Pangea Platform is also indicated for children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12 – 21 years) for the internal fixation and stabilization of bone fractures of the diaphysis and metaphysis in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by implants.
Device Story
Pangea Utility Plating System and Pangea Platform consist of metallic bone fixation plates, screws, and cable plugs; used for internal fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis. Plates are mini-, small-, and large-fragment types; screws include locking and non-locking variants. System components are implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone segments; provide mechanical support during healing. Output is physical stabilization of bone; healthcare providers use intraoperative imaging to verify placement. Benefits include restoration of bone alignment and stability for patient healing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included: worst-case construct determination, cross-sectional/bending moment comparison, screw shear/pull-out/insertion (ASTM F543), cable plug static traction, and static/dynamic cantilever bending. MR compatibility testing performed per ASTM F2052, F2213, F2182, and F2119.
Technological Characteristics
Plates and non-locking screws: Ti6Al4V-ELI (ASTM F136). Locking screws: CoCr. Plate lengths: 26mm-486mm. Screw diameters: 2.7mm-6.0mm. Mechanical fixation via plates, screws, and cable plugs. MR conditional.
Indications for Use
Indicated for internal fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis in normal/osteopenic bone (diaphyseal, metaphyseal, epiphyseal, extra/intra-articular, non-unions, malunions, deformities, periprosthetic). Indicated for children (2-12) and adolescents (12-21) for diaphysis/metaphysis fractures where growth plates are fused or not crossed by implants.
Regulatory Classification
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.

#### Summary of Technologies
A comparison of the systems demonstrated that the subject Pangea Utility Plating System and Pangea Platform is substantially equivalent to the PeriPRO Femur and Variable Angle Fixation (K222381) with regard to intended use, material, design, and operational principles.
{6}------------------------------------------------
#### Non-Clinical Testing:
The following non-clinical laboratory testing and performance assessments were made in support of substantial equivalence:
- Determination of Utility Plate worst-case constructs ●
- Utility Plate cross-sectional and bending moment comparison to predicate devices
- Screw Shear Off per ASTM F543
- Screw Pull Out per ASTM F543
- . . Screw Insertion per ASTM F543
- Cable Plug Static Traction
- . Static Cantilever Bending
- Dynamic Cantilever Bending
- Multiple Usage Static Cantilever Bending .
Tests performed to establish compatibility with a magnetic resonance environment:
- Magnetically Induced Displacement per ASTM F2052 ●
- Magnetically Induced Torque per ASTM F2213
- RF Heating per ASTM F2182
- Image Artifacts per ASTM F2119
Clinical testing was not required for this submission.
The subject devices Pangea Utility Plating System and Pangea Platform are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices PeriPRO Femur and Variable Angle Fixation (K222381). Except for the modifications described in this submission the subject devices are identical to the predicate devices, and the performance data and analyses demonstrate that:
- any differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as established with performance testing; and
• the subject devices are at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices
