Device Description

The FEP and Stylo external fixation systems, are modular systems with the components of: joints, bars, clamps or screws. Such components, with various assemblies, form a device indicated for reconstruction and corrections of bone segments of the human body. All components are made of either Aluminum alloy 7012 or Stainless steel, AISI 316LVM, ISO 5831-1/9.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance metrics.

The document is a 510(k) premarket notification summary and a clearance letter for the "FEP and Stylo" external fixation systems. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics, design, and materials, rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the given text.

To address your request, the document would need to include sections detailing:

  • Specific performance objectives for the device (e.g., strength, durability, biocompatibility).
  • Test methods used to evaluate these objectives.
  • Results of such tests compared against predefined acceptance criteria.
  • Details about any clinical or technical studies conducted (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, etc.).

Dear Mr. Holland:

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. Isting 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.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
