Intended Use

aap Biorigid Nail Femur (BNF) is intended to use in fractures of the femoral bone.

The indications are:
Types of Fractures: Simple closed fractures, Comminuted fractures, Open fractures of first, second or third degree, Crush fractures
Antegrade Indications: Femur shaft fractures, Distal femur shaft fractures, Pathological fractures, e.g. tumor osteolysis, Periprosthetic femur fracture in the middle to third part with knee replacement in situ
Retrograde Indications: Supracondylary fractures, Simultaneous nailing of femur and tibia, Distal femur fracture with osteosynthesis or hip prosthesis in situ, Periprosthetic femur fracture at knee arthroplasty
Borderline Indications: Percondylar femur fracture, Pseudarthrosis (only reamed method), Osteoporosis

Device Description

Intramedullary rods are used for the stabilisation of fractures or correction of deformity of ong bones with or without interlocking screws. The connection between the nail and the interlocking screw is realised with central holes or grooves. Reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing and for the femoral bone the antegrade and retrograde entrance are standard methods today.

agp Bioriqid Nail Femur (BNF) is the consistent development of the Biorigid Nail Tibia for the femoral bone. The BNF is a full material nail. The interlocking of the nail happens with solid Ø 5.3 mm screws through central holes and grooves.

The central holes on the nail protect against rotational forces. The grooves are designed for interlocking possibility over the whole length of the nail and a defined reduction of the rigidity because of the full material nail.

The BNF permits the execution of different implantation techniques and interlocking with only one nail. Therefore it meets the different injury manners and necessity for individual solutions.

  • Nail in different diameters .
  • Interlocking screws in different lenghts ●
  • Interlocking nut ●
  • Protection cap in different lengths ●
  • CondyLock ●
  • Accessories, like targeting devices etc. ●
AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which is a different regulatory pathway.

Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the study-related questions based on the provided document. The document primarily establishes the device's intended use, materials, and comparison to existing devices.

Here's a breakdown of why the information is missing:

  • Acceptance Criteria & Device Performance: The document does not define specific performance metrics (e.g., strength, durability, biocompatibility targets) or report test results against such criteria. The "Performance Standards" section refers generally to cGMP's, ASTM requirements, and harmonized standards like ISO 9001 / EN 46001, but these are quality management and material specification standards, not specific device performance acceptance criteria.
  • Study Details: Since there's no mention of specific performance testing, there's no information on:
    • Sample sizes for test sets
    • Data provenance
    • Number or qualifications of experts
    • Adjudication methods
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness studies
    • Standalone performance studies
    • Type of ground truth used
    • Training set sample size or ground truth establishment

This document is a regulatory submission for a Class II medical device (intramedullary fixation rod) seeking 510(k) clearance by demonstrating substantial equivalence. For such devices, rigorous clinical trials or extensive performance studies with explicit acceptance criteria are often not required if substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device can be shown. The FDA's letter explicitly states that the device is "substantially equivalent... to legally marketed predicate devices."

What the document does provide in lieu of a performance study:

  • Predicate Devices: A list of several similar intramedullary nails from other manufacturers that serve as the basis for demonstrating substantial equivalence (e.g., Howmedica Osteonics Corp. T2 Femoral Nail System, Synthes Ti Distal Femoral Nail).
  • Comparison of Technological Characteristics: It states that the aap Biorigid Nail Femur (BNF) is "substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to physical/technical and material characteristics." This implies that the device is expected to perform similarly to those already on the market without needing to re-prove fundamental performance through new studies.
  • Material Composition: Specifies the use of Titanium Alloy (Ti 6Al 4V E.L.I. = ASTM F136), a well-established and approved material for such implants.
  • Intended Use: Clearly outlines the types of fractures and anatomical locations for which the device is indicated, which aligns with the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Abel:

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 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.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.
