AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Zimmer Periarticular Locking Plates, a device for internal fracture fixation. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and a general statement about performance data.

However, the document does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, a study proving device meeting criteria, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies.

The "Performance Data" section states: "The results of non-clinical (laboratory) performance testing demonstrate that the device is safe and effective." This is a high-level summary and does not provide any specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed study results.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or provide answers to most of the questions based on the provided text.

Here's what can be inferred or directly stated from the document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not specified in the document.
  • Reported Device Performance: The document generally states "The results of non-clinical (laboratory) performance testing demonstrate that the device is safe and effective." No specific metrics (e.g., tensile strength, fatigue life, torsional stability) or quantitative results are provided.
Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not specifiedNot specified quantitatively, only general statement of "safe and effective" based on non-clinical (laboratory) testing.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • The document mentions "non-clinical (laboratory) performance testing." It does not specify sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or whether the study was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned. The testing described is "non-clinical (laboratory) performance testing," which typically involves mechanical or material property assessments, not expert-reviewed data where "ground truth" for diagnostic or clinical accuracy is established.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable/Not mentioned for the same reasons as #3.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No. This is a medical device (bone plate and screw system), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reader performance with or without AI assistance is not relevant or described.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • No. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable. As this is a non-clinical, laboratory performance test of a physical device, the "ground truth" would likely refer to established engineering standards or physical test outcomes (e.g., measuring forces, displacements, fatigue cycles). Specific details are not provided.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model.

Dear Mr. Bartsch:

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

§ 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.
