- Lateral Stabilization, Medial Stabilization, Achilles Tendon Repair, Foot/Ankle: Hallux Valqus Reconstruction (proximal and chevron), Midfoot Reconstruction, Metacarpal and Metatarsal fusions and Ligament Repair, Tendon transfer in the foot/ankle such as Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer for Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction, Flexor Digitorum Longus Transfer for Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction, Kidner transfer, Extensor Hallucis Longus transfer, Flexor Hallucis Longus for Achilles Tendon reconstruction, Weber A and B fractures, Lateral and Medial Malleolus Ankle Fracture, Osteochondritis Dissecans, Fractures of the Distal Radius, tibial tubercle avulsions in adolescence
- Biceps Tendon Reattachment, Ulnar or Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
- Wrist: Scapholunate Ligament Reconstruction, Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction, Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction, phalangeal fracture and fusion, metacarpal fracture and fusion, carpal fusion and fracture, wrist arthrodesis, distal radius fractures, olecranon fractures, radial head fractures, humeral condylar fractures
The Arthrex TRIMit™ Family of screws are manufactured using poly(L-lactide). They are threaded, fully cannulated implants. The TRIMit™ implants are available with a reusable driver for insertion purposes. Prior to driving in the anchor, it is necessary to prepare the bone using a drill of the appropriate size.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the Arthrex TRIMit™ Family of bone fixation fasteners. This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
The information provided does not contain any details about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes for test or training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or how ground truth was established. This type of information is typically found in supporting documentation for a 510(k) submission, such as a study report or clinical data summary, which is not part of the provided text.
Based on the provided text, the device is a physical bone fixation fastener (an implant) and not a software algorithm or AI device that would typically have performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC. The "performance" of such a device would usually relate to mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength, bending strength, fatigue life), biocompatibility, and degradation characteristics. These are assessed through bench testing and sometimes animal or clinical studies to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for its intended use, often in comparison to a predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested tables or answer the specific questions related to acceptance criteria, study details, and AI/algorithm performance. The provided text is solely a regulatory submission summary focusing on the device description, indications for use, and a statement of substantial equivalence.

Description:
NOV - 4 2004
The Arthrex TRIMit™ Family of screws are manufactured using poly(L-lactide). They are threaded, fully cannulated implants. The TRIMit™ implants are available with a reusable driver for insertion purposes. Prior to driving in the anchor, it is necessary to prepare the bone using a drill of the appropriate size.
Indications for Use:
The Arthrex TRIMit™ Family, made of polylactide (PLLA), are implants for maintenance of alignment and fixation of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses or condylar grafts of the foot, ankle, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder in the presence of appropriate brace and/or immobilization. More specific surgeries are included in the statement of intended use.
By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The difference between the Arthrex TRIMit™ Family of screws and the predicate devices with similar indications do not raise any questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The devices. as designed, are as safe and effective as predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Waterhouse:
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.

§ 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.
