The Arthrex Small Fragment Plates and Screws are intended to be used for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist, such as opening wedge osteotomies for Hallux Valgus.

Device Description

The Arthrex Small Fragment Plate is an L-shaped opening wedge plate with four holes for insertion of screws for fixation. The plate is available in opening and closing wedge design, in various lengths, in both left and right configurations. The Arthrex screw is a cortical, headed, self-tapping screw available in one diameter, in numerous length options.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Arthrex Small Fragment Plates and Screws, which are medical devices (implants). The information requested pertains to the evaluation of a software algorithm's performance, which is not relevant to this type of medical device submission.

Here's why the requested information cannot be provided from this document:

Device Type: The Arthrex Small Fragment Plates and Screws are physical implants used for internal bone fixation. They are not a software algorithm, an AI model, or an diagnostic imaging device.
Approval Process: A 510(k) for a device like this focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing, legally marketed devices (predicates) based on material properties, design, manufacturing, and intended use. It does not involve studies to establish performance criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or reader studies in the way an AI/software device would.
Missing Information: The concepts of "acceptance criteria for an algorithm," "test set," "ground truth," "expert adjudication," "MRMC study," "standalone performance," or "training set" simply do not apply to the regulatory evaluation of a bone plate and screw system.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document because it is not applicable to the device described.

Dear Ms. Foust:

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).

Regulation Number and Section

§ 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.
