AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the FastFrame™ External Fixation System - Distal Radius. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving a device meets specific performance criteria through a study with acceptance criteria in the context of AI/software performance.

Therefore, the information required to answer your specific questions about acceptance criteria, device performance, ground truth establishment, sample sizes, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies for an AI/software device is not present in this document. The document pertains to a physical medical device (an external fixation system) and its mechanical and physical performance.

Here's how the provided information relates to your questions, highlighting what is not available:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

  • Not available in the context of AI/software performance.
  • The document mentions "Performance Evaluation – The mechanical testing confirmed that the subject device performs substantially equivalent in full construct rigidity and interconnection performance as compared to the predicate device." This refers to physical, mechanical properties (e.g., strength, stiffness), not diagnostic or AI performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
  • The device was found to be MRI Conditional, tested against ASTM standards (F2052-14, F2213-06, F2182-11a, F2119-07). These are physical safety and compatibility standards, not AI performance metrics.

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not applicable/Not available. This is a physical device; there is no "test set" of data in the sense of medical images or patient records for an AI algorithm. Mechanical testing would involve a certain number of physical units, but that's not the "sample size" you're asking about for AI validation.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable/Not available. Ground truth as it relates to AI performance (e.g., disease presence in an image) is not relevant for this physical device.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable/Not available.

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, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human reader performance, which is not relevant for a physical external fixation system.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • No, this is a physical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Not applicable/Not available. The "ground truth" for a physical device like this relates to its material properties and mechanical performance, established by engineering tests and adherence to standards, not medical diagnostic labels.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable/Not available. This is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable/Not available.

In summary: The provided 510(k) notification for the FastFrame™ External Fixation System - Distal Radius demonstrates substantial equivalence primarily through non-clinical performance data (mechanical testing). It explicitly states that "Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices to show substantial equivalence." This type of submission does not involve acceptance criteria or studies related to AI/software performance, image analysis, or human reader assistance.

bone (wrist and hand) fractures. Specifically, the system is intended for:
- Stabilization of open or closed fractures, typically in the context of polytrauma or where open or alternative closed treatment is undesirable or otherwise contraindicated;
- Arthrodesis and osteotomies with associated soft tissue problems;
- Stabilization of non-unions; and
- Intraoperative temporary stabilization to assist with indirect reduction.
Comparison to Predicate Device:Both the subject and predicate systems can be used to reduce and fix long bone anatomy of the wrist and hand. Both systems use bars, clamps, and fixation pins to achieve the clinical end result. Both systems allow for length distraction and polyaxial motion between clamp bodies.
The major difference between the subject and predicate systems is that predicate system frame needs to be built intra-operatively. The FastFrame External Fixation System contains a frame which comes with clamps and bars (telescoping tubes) pre-assembled, and are not dissassemblable by the end user. The subject FastFrame External Fixation System is provided in a sterile kit as compared to the predicate system that is provided non-sterile, and must be steam sterilized prior to use.
Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical):Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:
Performance Evaluation – The mechanical testing confirmed that the subject device performs substantially equivalent in full construct rigidity and interconnection performance as compared to the predicate device. In addition, the FastFrame External Fixation System – Distal Radius was found to be MRI Conditional per FDA Guidance “Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment” issued on December 11, 2014, ASTM F2052-14, ASTM F2213-06 (2011), ASTM F2182-11a, and ASTM F2119-07 (2013).

{5}------------------------------------------------

Conclusions: The results demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Clinical Performance and Conclusions:

Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices to show substantial equivalence.

§ 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.
