The SLIM Gliding Nail System is an all-purpose locking nail system for ensuring primary load stability in:
- Pertrochanteric femoral fractures .
- Subtrochanteric femoral fractures and .
- Lateral femoral neck fractures .
Internal fixation with the SLIM Gliding Nail System is indicated in all combination injuries involving the lateral femoral neck or trochanter region and femoral shaft fractures. Thanks to its biomechanical characteristics, the SLIM Gliding Nail System is also suitable for medical femoral neck fractures with retention of the head and simple femoral shaft fractures down to the distal metaphysis. Gliding nail fixation can also be used to secure pathological fractures or to provide weight-bearing stability after varus and valgus revision osteotomies of the proximal femur.
The SLIM Gliding Nail Systems designed for internal fixation in all combination injuries involving the lateral femoral neck or trochanter region and femoral shaft fractures. The system is also suitable for medial femoral neck fractures with retention of the head and simple femoral shaft fractures down to the distal metaphysis. Gliding nail fixation can also be used to secure pathological fractures or to provide weight-bearing stability after varus and valgus revision osteotomies of the proximal femur.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the SLIM Gliding Nail System. It describes a medical device, specifically an orthopedic nail system for internal fixation of femoral fractures. The focus of the 510(k) is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K020240, also a SLIM Gliding Nail System) after a minor design modification.
Based on the provided text, the device in question is a physical orthopedic implant. The 510(k) summary does not contain information related to software, artificial intelligence, or any performance study that would involve acceptance criteria, test sets, expert ground truth, or MRMC studies. The substantial equivalence is based on the device's design, materials, and intended use being nearly identical to a previously cleared predicate device, with the only modification being the "removal of the collar from the gliding blade."
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies proving device performance in the context of AI/software as the document pertains to a physical orthopedic implant and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a novel AI-driven diagnostic or treatment tool.
In summary, the provided document does not contain the information required to answer your questions about acceptance criteria for AI/software, test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical performance studies involving human readers and AI.
§ 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)
