Stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures and where soft tissue injury may preclude the use of other fracture treatments such as IM Rodding, casting, and other means of internal fixation.
A carbon fiber rod has an aluminum cap threaded onto one end. That cap slides axially in another bar that is partially externally threaded. There is a slot that runs the length of the external thread that accepts a pin that is part of the aluminum cap. There are two circular nuts that tighten on the pin which allow the device to be used in either compression or distraction mode. The partially threaded rod is made of aluminum and the circular nuts of made of stainless steel.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the "Radiolucent Colles Compression/Distraction Bar." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than independently proving safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications.
- Adjudication method.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
Instead, the document states:
- Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.
- Non-Clinical Testing: The following tests were used to determine substantial equivalence: Cantilever Testing, Torsional Testing, and Sawbone Lab Testing. (No specific acceptance criteria or performance results from these tests are provided, only that they were used to establish equivalence).
The basis for market clearance for this device is its "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device (Biomet® Radiolucent Colles Fracture Kit, K001760), implying that its performance and safety are considered equivalent if its technological characteristics (materials, design, sizing, and indications) are similar or identical.

Dear Ms. Bickel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice Ms. Tracy J. Bickel requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
