Patient Specific Implants are intended for the replacement of bony voids in the cranial and craniofacial skeleton (orbital rim, zygoma, and adjacent bone).
The Patient Specific Implants (PSI) are preformed implantable devices used to reconstruct portions of a patient's skull. The implant is designed using CT data to produce a preformed/pre-shaped implant that will fit the anatomy of a specific patient and is manufactured from PEEK (polyetheretherketone). The PSIs are provided non-sterile and are surgically attached to the native bone using commercially available Synthes 1.3 mm – 2.0 mm screws.
The manufacturing process is subtractive manufacturing (CNC milled) from models created and developed from patient specific CT Scan Data. The software used in this process is similar to the software used in the predicate device (K220357). This submission covers the use of software as an enabling technology that can be used as an option for the design of Patient Specific Implants. The device is designed to meet the needs of a specific patient upon request from a physician, and the basic design specifications must fall within the parameters defined in previous clearance for the system under K033868 / K053199. All designs must be approved by the physician prior to manufacture.

The Synthes Graphic Case & Tray System are used in healthcare facilities to store, organize, and transport DePuy Synthes orthopedic instruments and implants during sterilization and surgical procedures. The Synthes Graphic Case & Tray System are not intended on their own to maintain sterility; they are intended to be used in conjunction with a legally marketed, FDA-cleared sterile barrier (e.g., wraps or reusable rigid sterilization containers).
The Synthes Graphic Case & Tray System is validated for use with orthopedic medical devices including lumen (cannulated) devices and mated surface devices (devices or device configurations with conjoined surfaces which meet, touch or unite). Compatible instrument and implant materials include intrinsically stable metals, composites, thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers with constant use temperatures above 135°C.
The Synthes Graphic Case & Tray System were validated for a maximum load of 25 lbs (case + contents+ lid+ weight of sterile barrier wrap).
Method: Steam Sterilization (Moist Heat Sterilization) Cycle Pre-vacuum Temperature: 270 °F (132 °C) Exposure time: 4 minutes Minimum Drying time: 20 minutes

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes (number of devices, number of tests for each criterion) for each test. For many tests (e.g., Sterilization Efficacy, Dry Time, Cleaning), the results often refer to "Each product BI test location" or "For all cycles," suggesting that multiple test units or cycles were performed to represent the device.
The data provenance is not explicitly mentioned as a country of origin. The sponsor is "Synthes GmbH Luzernstrasse 21 Zuchwil, Switzerland," indicating the device manufacturer is based in Switzerland, but the location where the non-clinical testing was conducted is not specified. The study is non-clinical testing, which implies it's laboratory-based and not involving human subjects.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not applicable. The tests performed are non-clinical, laboratory-based evaluations against objective, measurable criteria (e.g., absence of microbial growth, weight difference, concentration levels of analytes, visual inspection for damage, cytotoxicity scores). There is no "ground truth" to be established by human experts in the context of diagnostic performance or clinical outcomes.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
Not applicable. As noted above, the tests are objective, measurable non-clinical evaluations, not interpretive assessments that would require adjudication.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of a sterilization case and tray system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" for these non-clinical tests is based on established scientific and regulatory standards and methods appropriate for sterilization and cleaning efficacy, biocompatibility, and durability. For example:
* Sterilization Efficacy: Negative growth of biological indicators, steam penetration verification (objective measurements).
* Dry Time and Thermal Profiling: Weight difference percentage, absence of visible moisture, F0 values, temperature sensor stability (objective measurements).
* Cleaning: Extraction efficiency percentage, absence of visible soil, quantifiable levels of protein and hemoglobin (objective measurements).
* Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity score (objective, laboratory-derived evaluation).
* Durability: Absence of specific types of damage (visual inspection against defined criteria) and continued proper function (functional testing).
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device undergoing non-clinical validation, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Study Details from the Provided Text:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: (See above table.)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified. The document refers to "key software components," "user interfaces," "image quality assessments," and "tool tests" without quantifying the number of elements or cases involved.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. Given that clinical tests were not performed, the "data" for these non-clinical tests would likely refer to synthetic data, representative DICOM/non-DICOM images, and interactive user scenarios. No country of origin is mentioned. The tests are described as non-clinical.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Since these were non-clinical software tests aimed at functionality and usability equivalence, not diagnostic accuracy, there is no mention of "ground truth" adjudicated by medical experts for diagnostic purposes. Usability testing would involve users, but the number and qualifications are not provided.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. There was no diagnostic test set requiring adjudication in this technical documentation.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. The document explicitly states "Clinical tests: Not Applicable." SynthVISION is primarily a medical image viewing software, not an AI diagnostic aid requiring an MRMC study.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a viewer, designed for human use. The performance tests ("Image quality assessments, tool tests, display requirements") represent standalone software capabilities validation, but not in the diagnostic sense often implied by this question for AI algorithms.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable for diagnostic "ground truth." The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would be the expected software behavior and output based on design specifications and the predicate device's functionality. For example:
- Software Verification: Specifications compliance.
- Usability Testing: User feedback, task completion rates, error rates (compared to predicate).
- Performance Testing: Expected image display accuracy, measurement accuracy, tool functionality (compared to predicate).
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This document does not describe the development or testing of an AI algorithm that would require a training set.

The DePuy Synthes MatrixSTERNUM Fixation System is indicated for use in adults with normal bone quality.
MatrixSTERNUM Sternal Body Plates are indicated for internal fixation of bone discontinuities following sternotomy.
MatrixSTERNUM Thoracotomy Plates are indicated for internal fixation of bone and/or cartilage discontinuities following thoracotomy.
The DePuy Synthes MatrixSTERNUM Fixation System consists of two families of plates, namely the MatrixSTERNUM Sternal Body Plates and MatrixSTERNUM Thoracotomy Plates, and two families of screws, namely the MatrixSTERNUM Self-Drilling Locking and Non-Locking Screws.
The DePuy Synthes MatrixSTERNUM Fixation System is intended for the stabilization and fixation of bones in the anterior chest wall. The subject plates are available in different shapes and sizes and are made from Titanium Alloy or commercially pure Titanium. The system also consists of non-implantable dedicated use screw guides, a screw guide handle, trays and modules, as well as general use instruments to be used as accessories with the subject implants.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the DePuy Synthes MatrixSTERNUM Fixation System, which is a metallic bone fixation appliance.
It is crucial to understand that this document describes a submission for a medical device (hardware), not an Artificial Intelligence (AI) or software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) product.
Therefore, the information regarding acceptance criteria and studies that prove the device meets acceptance criteria are focused on the mechanical, material, and biological performance of physical implants, not on the performance of an AI algorithm in tasks like image interpretation or diagnosis.
Because the request is specifically about AI/SaMD performance criteria (e.g., sample size for test set, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set data), the provided text does not contain the information needed to answer these questions for an AI/SaMD product.
The document states:
- "Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence." This directly indicates that no clinical performance study, multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, or standalone algorithm performance study (as would be typical for AI/SaMD) was conducted.
- The performance data provided is under "Non-clinical Performance Data" and includes:
- Mechanical performance evaluation and testing: Comparing the subject plates to predicate devices.
- Magnetic resonance compatibility assessment.
- Endotoxin testing.
- Biocompatibility evaluation and testing (in accordance with ISO 10993-1).
These are standard non-clinical tests for orthopedic implants to demonstrate safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence to existing devices. They are not metrics or study designs relevant to AI/SaMD performance.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the subsequent questions in the context of an AI/SaMD product, as the provided text pertains to a physical medical device.

SYNTHECEL® Dura Repair is indicated as a dura replacement for the repair of dura mater in adults.
SYNTHECEL® Dura Repair is composed of biosynthesized cellulose and water with a unique construction of non-woven, interconnected cellulose fibers. SYNTHECEL® Dura Repair functions as a mechanical layer which protects and repairs the dural defect while preventing further CSF leakage. SYNTHECEL® Dura Repair is immunologically inert and has demonstrated minimal foreign body response. It is non-resorbable.
The document provided is a 510(k) premarket notification for the SYNTHECEL Dura Repair device, seeking substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. It describes the device, its intended use, and the non-clinical performance data used to support its equivalence.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a table format with specific numerical targets. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through mechanical testing and biocompatibility. The reported performance is a statement of equivalence rather than meeting pre-defined numerical thresholds for a novel device.
However, based on the "Non-Clinical Performance Data" section, we can infer the areas of evaluation and the general outcome:
| Evaluation Area | Reported Device Performance (SYNTHECEL Dura Repair) |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Testing | Burst Strength: Demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. Suture Pull-Out Strength: Demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. |
| Biocompatibility | Tested according to ISO 10993-1. Demonstrated to be non-irritating, non-sensitizing, non-mutagenic, non-cytotoxic, non-hemolytic, non-pyrogenic, and of appropriate pH. |
| Packaging | Justified via prior shelf-life qualification. Further transit qualification performed to support new carton and shipping configurations related to the larger size offering. |
| Sterilization | Validated per ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, and AAMI TIR29. Dose substantiation qualification performed to encompass the larger size per ISO 11137-2 and AAMI TIR33. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
The document does not provide specific sample sizes for the mechanical testing (e.g., number of samples for burst strength or suture pull-out strength). It also does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the non-clinical performance data was retrospective or prospective. It simply states that "Mechanical testing data was collected," implying lab-based testing.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This information is not applicable to the provided document. The submission is for a medical device (dura repair), and the "test set" in this context refers to physical samples undergoing mechanical and biological evaluations, not diagnostic outputs requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies or studies involving human interpretation of data (e.g., medical imaging) to resolve discrepancies. The provided document focuses on non-clinical performance data of a physical device.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
This is not applicable. The device is SYNTHECEL Dura Repair, a physical medical device, not an AI or diagnostic tool that would involve human readers or MRMC studies.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This is not applicable. The device is a physical dura repair product, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the non-clinical performance data:
- Mechanical Testing (Burst Strength, Suture Pull-Out Strength): The "ground truth" is established through standardized laboratory testing methods that quantify physical properties according to accepted engineering and medical device standards. The comparison is against predicate device performance, implying the predicate's performance serves as the benchmark.
- Biocompatibility: The "ground truth" is established by adhering to international standards (ISO 10993-1) which define acceptable biological responses (e.g., non-irritating, non-cytotoxic).
8. The sample size for the training set:
This is not applicable. The submission is for a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This is not applicable, as there is no training set for a physical medical device.

The DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System is indicated for external fixation of fractured long bones and bones of the foot, limb lengthening, and deformity correction in adult, children* (3-12), and adolescent* (12-21) patient populations. The DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME™ Multi- Axial Correction System utilizes software for assisting surgeons in treatment planning. *in which the growth plates have fused or will not be crossed.
The DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System is indicated for the following treatments in adults, and in both children (3-12) and adolescents (12-21) in which the growth plates have fused or will not be crossed with hardware:
• fracture fixation (open and closed)
• pseudoarthrosis of long bones
• limb lengthening (epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction)
• joint arthrodesis
• infected fractures or nonunions
• correction of bony or soft tissue deformities
• correction of segmental defects.
The DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME™ Multi Axial Correction System, is an external ring fixation system that consists of MAXFRAME Hardware (schanz screws, pins, struts, rings) and MAXFRAME Web Software, used in treatment of soft tissue and bone deformities.
The subject device MAXFRAME 3D II Software (Moderate Software Level of Concern) is a software re-write of the MAXFRAME Web Software to make it more efficient, simplify software upgrades for functionality and fixing of software anomalies or bugs. Additionally, based on surgeon feedbacks and voice of customer, new functionality has been added around how frames are identified on X-Rays/radiographic images and how the treatment of the deformity can be planned.
This document describes the MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System (aka MAXFRAME) software, specifically the MAXFRAME 3D II Software. It is a software re-write of the existing MAXFRAME Web Software, cleared under K161417.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The provided document (510(k) Summary) is a submission for substantial equivalence based on non-clinical performance testing. It does not contain specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics in a quantitative sense (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity). Instead, it generically states:
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Implied) |
|---|---|
| Outputs meet input requirements | "The performance of the subject MAXFRAME 3D II Software has been evaluated by confirming that the outputs meet the input requirements..." |
| Conform to user needs and intended uses | "...and conform to the user needs and intended uses." |
| Same intended use, indications for use, and fundamental principles as predicate | "The subject device has the same intended use, indications for use, and fundamental principles as the predicate device." |
| Creates similar patient treatment plan | "...creates a similar patient treatment plan..." |
| Highly comparable functionality and usability to predicate | "...and has highly comparable functionality and usability to the predicate MAXFRAME Web Software." |
| Software verification and validation demonstrates substantial equivalence | "The results of non-clinical performance data in terms of software verification and validation demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." This implies the results of V&V testing met internal acceptance criteria for demonstrating that the new software performs as intended and is equivalent to the prior version. |
Important Note: This is a 510(k) summary for a software update to an existing device. The primary claim is substantial equivalence to the predicate device (MAXFRAME Web Software, K161417), meaning it performs similarly and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. As such, detailed quantitative performance metrics often associated with novel AI/ML devices or completely new technologies are typically not disclosed in this type of submission summary. The "acceptance criteria" here are focused on demonstrating that the new software maintains the safety and effectiveness profile of the predicate.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document explicitly states: "Non-clinical Performance Testing: The performance of the subject MAXFRAME 3D II Software has been evaluated by confirming that the outputs meet the input requirements and conform to the user needs and intended uses."
This indicates software verification and validation (V&V) activities were performed. However, the document does not specify a sample size for a "test set" in the context of clinical or image-based evaluation. Given it's a software re-write of an existing system, the testing likely involved functional testing, regression testing, and possibly performance testing against a set of representative cases or simulated scenarios to ensure calculations are correct and the user interface functions as expected.
The document does not specify the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective data) for any test cases used during V&V.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not provided in the document. As it is a software re-write and not a novel diagnostic AI algorithm, the "ground truth" for V&V would likely be based on:
- Expected outputs from calculations based on well-defined anatomical parameters or clinical scenarios.
- Comparison to results from the predicate software.
- Expert review of UI/UX and functionality rather than diagnostic accuracy.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This information is not provided. Given the nature of a software re-write, a formal adjudication process for diagnostic interpretations (like 2+1 review) is unlikely to be the primary method of evaluation. Software V&V typically uses internal testing protocols.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical Performance Data: Clinical data was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence." Therefore, there is no information about the effect size of human readers improving with AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
The document describes the device as providing "software for assisting surgeons in treatment planning." The "MAXFRAME 3D II Software" is a component of the "MAXFRAME™ Multi-Axial Correction System," which is an "external ring fixation system." This implies it's an assistive tool for a human-in-the-loop workflow (surgeons using the software for planning), not a standalone diagnostic algorithm designed to provide unassisted outputs.
While standalone software verification and validation was performed on the software alone to ensure its functionality and calculations are correct, this is distinct from proving clinical performance as a standalone diagnostic or assistive device in a clinical setting.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The specific type of ground truth used for the software's verification and validation is not explicitly stated. For a software re-write focused on treatment planning and calculation, the "ground truth" would likely be derived from:
- Engineering specifications and requirements: Ensuring the software correctly implements the intended algorithms and calculations.
- Comparison to predicate device's output: Confirming that the new software produces equivalent results to the previous, cleared version for identical inputs.
- Industry standards or clinically accepted formulas: For calculations related to limb lengthening, deformity correction, etc.
It's highly unlikely that expert consensus on diagnostic images, pathology, or outcomes data was used as the ground truth for this software re-write's V&V, given the nature of the device (treatment planning software for an external fixator).
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is not applicable and not provided. The MAXFRAME 3D II Software is a software re-write of an existing system, and the description does not suggest it employs machine learning or artificial intelligence that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense. It is a deterministic rule-based or algorithmic software for planning.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is not applicable and not provided, as there is no indication of a machine learning component requiring a training set with established ground truth.

The DePuy Synthes Variable Angle Locking Patella Plating System is indicated for the fixation and stabilization of patellar fractures in normal and osteopenic bone in skeletally mature patients.
The DePuy Synthes Variable Angle Locking Patella Plating System is comprised of single-use, sterile implants which will be placed on the lateral rim and on the anterior surface of the fractured patella to provide fixation during bone healing. The system offers both a small and a large plate to provide fixation for various patella fracture patterns. The subject plates are available sterile and are manufactured from implant grade stainless steel or titanium.
The system also consists of sterile, non-implantable templates that correspond to the implants. Templates are intended to help determine proper sizing and help predict contoured shape of the implant.
The provided text ("K210408") is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: the DePuy Synthes Variable Angle Locking Patella Plating System. This type of FDA submission is for devices seeking substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria, specifically concerning AI/ML performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies.
The "Non-clinical performance data" section refers to:
- Mechanical testing: This is to demonstrate "substantially equivalent" performance to the predicate device under static and dynamic loading conditions. This is not a clinical study and doesn't involve "acceptance criteria" in the sense of accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity for a diagnostic or AI-driven device.
- Magnetic Resonance compatibility testing: To establish MR Conditional parameters.
- Endotoxin testing: To meet specified endotoxin requirements.
The "Clinical performance data" section explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence."
In summary, the provided document does not describe the kind of study and acceptance criteria you're asking about, which are typically associated with AI/ML-driven diagnostic or image analysis devices. This document is for a mechanical orthopedic implant demonstrating substantial equivalence based on engineering and material performance, not clinical outcome or algorithmic performance.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about AI/ML study design and performance metrics based on the provided text.

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a medical device. It describes the device, its intended use, and its comparison to predicate devices, along with non-clinical performance data. However, it does NOT describe an AI/ML powered device, nor does it contain any information about a study proving device meets acceptance criteria related to AI/ML performance, such as human reader improvement with AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance, or the establishment of ground truth by multiple experts.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on the substantial equivalence of a physical orthopedic implant system to existing predicate devices, based on mechanical, MRI compatibility, sterilization, shelf-life, and biological safety testing. It does not mention any AI or machine learning components.

The DePuy Synthes Locking Screws for Medullary Nails, 5.0 mm are indicated for the static and dynamic interlocking of femoral, humeral and tibial nails.
The proposed Retrograde Femoral Nail Advanced System is being developed to address challenges associated with treating distal femur fractures with intramedullary nails. The system is modular in nature, incorporating several components to allow for the treatment of a variety of fracture patterns and in the presence of previously implanted devices such as the femoral components of a total knee arthroplasty (periprosthetic). The nailing implants are available in two different bends which enable standard and periprosthetic entry points for the insertion of the nailing implant in the femur. The implants in this submission are manufactured from titanium alloys, stainless steel and polyethylene and are provided in a range of dimensions. The DePuy Synthes Locking Screws for Medullary Nails, 5.0 mm feature a retaining screw head recess, additional shorter, rounded cutting flutes the ability to drive under power. The screws feature either a standard screw head or a low-profile screw head and are available with standard washers and nuts.
The provided text ({0}-{5}) does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that uses a test set, ground truth, or human readers for performance evaluation. This document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter for a medical device (DePuy Synthes Retrograde Femoral Nail Advanced System and Locking Screws).
The text explicitly states:
"Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence." (Page 4, under "Clinical Performance Data")
Instead, the submission relies on non-clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. These non-clinical tests are primarily mechanical and material tests conducted according to ASTM standards.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth for training/test sets.
The information that is present regarding performance comes from non-clinical engineering tests:
-
Non-clinical Performance Data for Retrograde Femoral Nail Advanced System:
- Static Bend according to ASTM F1264
- Static Torsion according to ASTM F1264
- Dynamic Bend according to ASTM F1264
- Mechanical Static Construct
- Poly Inlay Screw Pull Out Test and Debris Evaluation
-
Non-clinical Performance Data for DePuy Synthes Locking Screws for Medullary Nails, 5.0:
- Torsional Properties according to ASTM F543
- Driving Torque & Axial Pushout according to ASTM F543
- Driving Torque according to ASTM F543
- Self-tapping Performance according to ASTM F543
- Finite Element Analysis for 3-Point Bending according to ASTM 1264
-
Other Additional Analysis:
- Endotoxin Testing according to AAMI ST72
- MRI Conditional analysis performed (though not released with MR Conditional labeling)
These tests are designed to show that the mechanical properties and safety (e.g., in terms of materials and manufacturing) of the new device are comparable to those of existing, legally marketed predicate devices, thereby establishing "substantial equivalence" without requiring human-data-based clinical performance studies.
