    Intended Use

    The Revolution External Plating System is indicated for treatment of a variety of broken or deformed bones:

    • · Stabilizes open and/or unstable fracture of complex proximal and/or distal tibial fractures
    • · Fusions of the joints and bone (hand, foot, long-bone)
    • · Correction of bone or soft tissue deformities
    • · Correction of segmental or non-segmental bone, soft tissue defects or bone loss
    • · Neutralization of fractures stabilized with limited internal fixation
    • · Adult and Pediatric subgroups except newborns
    Device Description

    Revolution is an external open ring fixation system to provide stability for long bone fractures, limb lengthening, and correction of bone deformities all at a distance from the operative focus.
    When used with other components this device stabilizes open and/or unstable fractures of long bones including intracapsular, intertrochanteric, supracondylar, or condylar. It is also used for joint fusions and limb lengthening of deformity corrections which involve cutting the bone.
    A plating system consists of a stacked welded plate module and a footplate. These two plates are connected by four super-struts attached by the surgeon to give the best support for the patient. Once assembled, the module is attached to the patient's limb with half-pins or wires. The halfpins are threaded pins with a buttress thread form. Half pins come in three sizes, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. Half pins comes in 215mm overall length, but various thread lengths to encompass the size of the bone. Wires come In 1.8mm in diameter and come in 400mm overall lengths. They're meant for traction to the bone. These are inserted through or to the bone and attached to the frame to create a stable construction patient's limb thereby allowing the surgeon to correct or repair the patient's indications.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes Revolution External Plating System, an external fixator. The following is an analysis of its acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria

    TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Connector static axial grip testingNot explicitly stated but implied to be sufficient for clinical use and substantially equivalent to predicates.Results showed substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Connector static torsion grip testingNot explicitly stated but implied to be sufficient for clinical use and substantially equivalent to predicates.Results showed substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Ring static in-plane compression testingNot explicitly stated but implied to be sufficient for clinical use and substantially equivalent to predicates.Results showed substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Strut static axial compression testingNot explicitly stated but implied to be sufficient for clinical use and substantially equivalent to predicates.Results showed substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Construct dynamic axial compression testingNot explicitly stated but implied to be sufficient for clinical use and substantially equivalent to predicates.Results showed substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.

    2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

    This document does not describe a clinical study involving human patients, but rather non-clinical mechanical performance testing. Therefore, there is no information on sample sizes for a test set in the context of human data or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The "test set" in this case refers to the physical devices tested.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical performance study of a device, not a study requiring expert interpretation of data or images to establish ground truth.

    4. Adjudication Method

    Not applicable, as this is a mechanical performance study.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No. This document describes mechanical testing of a medical device, not a study evaluating human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

    6. Standalone Performance Study

    Yes, in the sense that the mechanical tests were performed directly on the Revolution External Plating System device itself, without human intervention in the device's function during the test. The "performance" being evaluated is the mechanical integrity and strength of the device.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for this study is not clinical outcomes or expert consensus, but rather the physical properties and mechanical strength standards as defined by ASTM F1541 and compared against legally marketed predicate devices. The "truth" is whether the device can withstand specified mechanical stresses.

    8. Sample Size for Training Set

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning model where a "training set" of data is used. The "training" for this device would be its design and manufacturing process.

    9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable. As noted above, this is not an AI/machine learning context. The design of the device (if that were considered a 'training set') would be based on engineering principles, material science, and the existing predicate devices.
