Intended Use

The Synthes Ti-15Mo Locking Distal Radius Plating System is intended for fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius and other small bones.

Device Description

The Synthes Ti-15Mo Locking Distal Radius Plating System consists of machined metallic plates and screws that offer screw to plate locking designed for various fracture modes of the distal end of the radius.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Synthes Ti-15Mo Locking Distal Radius Plating System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific performance-based acceptance criteria for AI/ML-enabled software.

Therefore, this document does not contain the information requested in the prompt regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies for an AI/ML device. The device described is a physical implant (bone plate and screws), not a software or AI/ML product.

Here's why the requested information is absent:

  • Acceptance Criteria and Performance: The document aims to establish that the new device is as safe and effective as a previously marketed predicate device. It doesn't define quantitative performance acceptance criteria or report performance against such criteria.
  • Sample Sizes (Test/Training Data), Data Provenance, Experts, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Performance, Ground Truth: These are all concepts relevant to the validation of AI/ML algorithms using clinical data. A physical implant like a bone plate does not undergo these types of studies for 510(k) clearance. Its equivalence is typically based on material properties, design, and intended use compared to the predicate.

In summary, the provided text describes a medical device, but it is not an AI/ML device, and thus the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for AI/ML performance is not present.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html

§ 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.
