Intended Use

The Synthes Cranial Plates are intended for use in selective trauma of the midface and Craniofacial surgery; reconstructive procedures; and selective orthognathic surgery of the maxilla and chin.

Device Description

The Synthes burr hole covers come in various sizes to accommodate various fracture and osteotomy sites, have a low plate/screw head profile and use existing (previously cleared) 1.3 mm (1.7 mm emergency) or 1.5 mm (2.0 mm emergency) self-tapping bone screws.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is related to the 510(k) summary for Synthes Cranial Plates as submitted to the FDA in 2004. This document primarily focuses on regulatory approval and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than detailed performance studies and acceptance criteria for a new medical device technology, especially one involving AI or diagnostic capabilities.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance studies, or ground truth establishment.

The document states:

  • "Comparative information presented supports substantial equivalence."
  • The device is a "Bone Plate" (21 CFR 872.4760).
  • The "Predicate Devices" are "Synthes Cranial Plates," indicating a comparison to their own existing devices.

This suggests that the approval was based on demonstrating that the new Synthes Cranial Plates are similar enough to previously approved Synthes Cranial Plates, rather than extensive new performance studies against specific acceptance criteria like those expected for a diagnostic or AI-driven device. Device effectiveness for such products is often based on material properties, design specifications, and manufacturing processes, which are not detailed in this summary.

Dear Ms. Boyle:

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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
