The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Arthrex ACL RetroConstruction™ Button Kit. This type of regulatory submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing devices rather than independent performance studies with detailed acceptance criteria for a new medical device technology like an AI-powered diagnostic tool.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested in the prompt. It primarily discusses:
- Intended Use of the device.
- Description of the components.
- Substantial Equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it has the same basic features and intended uses, and any minor differences do not raise questions of safety or effectiveness.
There are no details about:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set.
- Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication methods.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness studies.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used (pathology, expert consensus, etc.).
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
§ 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)
