Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Hallu Plates are orthopedic fixation devices designed for first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis, a surgical procedure to fuse the joint at the base of the big toe. Constructed from titanium, these low-profile plates provide stable internal fixation, ensuring proper alignment and union of the bone during healing. The system includes two plate variants—HALLU-FIX C and HALLU-FIX S—each tailored for specific anatomical requirements. These plates are intended for use with complementary fixation hardware, such as screws, to secure the joint in place.
Hallu Plates are supplied as reusable surgical instruments and are not described as sterile in the provided data. They are classified under FDA product code HRS and were cleared via a Traditional 510(k) pathway in 2002, falling under the Orthopedic advisory committee’s jurisdiction. The devices are intended for use in orthopedic surgical settings, with no specific MRI safety information provided. Sizes or additional technical specifications beyond the plate variants are not detailed in the available records.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Hallu Plates device used for?
The Hallu Plates are orthopedic fixation devices specifically designed for first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis, a surgical procedure that fuses the joint at the base of the big toe. They provide stable internal fixation to ensure proper alignment and bone union during the healing process, helping patients regain mobility and function after joint fusion.
Are the Hallu Plates sterile and how are they supplied?
The Hallu Plates are not described as sterile in the provided data and are supplied as reusable surgical instruments. They are intended for use in orthopedic surgical settings, where they are cleaned and reprocessed according to standard surgical instrument protocols before each procedure.
What variants of Hallu Plates are available, and how do they differ?
The Hallu Plates system includes two variants: HALLU-FIX C and HALLU-FIX S. These variants are tailored to specific anatomical requirements, though the exact differences in design or sizing are not detailed in the available records. Both are constructed from titanium and require complementary fixation hardware (e.g., screws) for secure joint stabilization.
Can Hallu Plates be used with MRI, and what are their storage requirements?
The provided data does not specify whether Hallu Plates are MRI-safe. As titanium devices, they may pose risks in MRI environments, so clinical teams should verify compatibility with their MRI systems before use. Storage should follow standard orthopedic instrument protocols: clean, dry, and protected from contamination to maintain reusability and integrity.
What regulatory pathway was followed for the Hallu Plates, and who cleared them?
The Hallu Plates were cleared via the FDA’s Traditional 510(k) pathway in 2002 under product code HRS (Orthopedic Devices). The clearance was determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SESE) by the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee, with New Deal, S.A. as the applicant. The decision was filed in Potomac, MD, and no third-party review was involved.
