Intended Use

Intended for use in patients who have totally or partially edentulous mandible or maxilla or small craniofacial bone deficiencies and need an increase in bone height and mass by means of distraction osteogenesis. These patients include those who have traumatic defects, periodontal disease or birth abnormality. The distractor is designed to provide temporary stabilization and gradual expansion across an osteotomy in the mandibular bone or maxillary bone and thereby increasing the height of the adjacent Alveolar ridge. This device is intended to be removed after consolidation of the callus and prior to final prosthetic reconstruction. The OsteoMed Alveolar Distraction System is intended for single patient use only.

Device Description

The OsteoMed Alveolar Distraction System is a distraction osteogenesis system consisting of two bone plates, a threaded rod and an activation instrument. The plates attach to bone using bone screws and then gradually distract the osteotomized segment via activation of the threaded rod with the activation instrument. The distractor is capable of distraction lengths of up to 20mm.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the OsteoMed Alveolar Distraction System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on similarities in intended use, material, design, and operational principles.

Therefore, the study described does not involve a statistical evaluation of device performance against specific acceptance criteria in the way medical imaging or diagnostic AI devices do. It relies on the assertion that "Due to the similarity of materials and design to predicate devices, OsteoMed believes that the OsteoMed Intraoral Distraction System does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues."

As a result, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, performance metrics, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment cannot be extracted from this document because such a performance study was not conducted or reported in this 510(k) submission.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:


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

  • Cannot be provided. This document does not describe specific numerical acceptance criteria or performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for the device. The substantial equivalence argument is based on design and material similarities to predicate devices, not on a performance study with defined acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. There is no mention of a "test set" or a performance study involving patient data. The equivalence is based on device design and material comparison.

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)

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. There was no test set requiring ground truth establishment related to clinical performance.

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

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. No test set or related adjudication method is described.

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 / Cannot be provided. This is not an AI device, and no MRMC study or human reader improvement analysis is mentioned.

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

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm, so "standalone performance" in that context is not relevant.

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

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. No ground truth for clinical performance was established or used in this submission.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so the concept of a "training set" is not relevant.

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

  • Not applicable / Cannot be provided. No training set or ground truth for it exists for this type of submission.

Summary of the Study provided in the 510(k):

The "study" presented in this 510(k) is a substantial equivalence determination based on a comparison to predicate devices, rather than a performance study with clinical data.

Description of the Study:

The OsteoMed Alveolar Distraction System's 510(k) submission (K030790) establishes its substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The basis for this determination is described as similarities in:

  • Intended Use: All devices are used for gradual bone distraction to increase bone height and mass in the mandible or maxilla.
  • Material: The devices are made of similar materials.
  • Design: The fundamental design principles involving bone plates, a threaded rod, and an activation instrument for gradual expansion عبر an osteotomy are common.
  • Operational Principle: The mechanism of distraction osteogenesis through controlled expansion is consistent across the devices.

The predicate devices cited for comparison are:

  • KLS-Martin TRACK 1.0mm and 1.5mm System (K002152)
  • Leibinger Chin Distractor (K973484)
  • Lorenz Distraction System (K992952)

The core argument is that, due to these similarities, the OsteoMed Alveolar Distraction System "does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues" compared to already cleared devices. This type of submission relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate, without necessarily performing new clinical trials if the engineering and material equivalence is strong.
