Intended Use

The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is intended for fracture fixation (open and closed), pseudoarthrosis or nonunions of long bones, limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction, correction of bony or soft tissue deformities, and correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects.

Device Description

The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is an external ring fixation system. The system is comprised of wires and Schanz screws that are attached to rings with bolts, nuts and/or clamps; rods that interconnect the rings; and connecting plates, hinges, standoffs, posts and supports that complete the assembly of the fixator. The system components are made from nonmagnetic materials and are intended to be used in an MR environment. An MR environment is described as the general environment present in the vicinity of an MR scanner and/or anywhere in the procedure room, including the center of the bore of the MR scanner. The Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System is a modular and versatile system that is fully customizable. An individualized frame should be constructed for each case to suit the specific situation.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text from the 510(k) summary for the Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis System does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing detailed performance study data.

The document discusses:

  • Device Name and Sponsor
  • Classification and Predicate Devices
  • Device Description (components and materials)
  • Intended Use
  • A statement regarding substantial equivalence to other legally marketed devices.
  • Correspondence from the FDA regarding the 510(k) clearance.

It explicitly states, "Substantial Documentation is provided which demonstrates that the Synthes (USA) Distraction Osteogenesis System is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices." This means the product's safety and effectiveness were primarily established by comparing it to existing, legally marketed devices, rather than through a new, comprehensive performance study with acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, which includes:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth
  4. Adjudication method
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study details
  6. Standalone performance study
  7. Type of ground truth used
  8. Sample size for the training set
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Trade/Device Name: Synthes (USA) Distraction Osteogenesis System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3030 Regulation Name: Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KTT Dated: July 21, 2005 Received: July 22, 2005

Dear Ms. Anderson:

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) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrl/dsma/dsmamain.html

§ 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.
