Intended Use

A partial ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted for the functional reconstruction of segments of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound wave from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.

Ossicular replacement prostheses are indicated for the functional restoration of the ossicular chain when a conductive hearing loss is present. Indications for use include:

(a) Chronic middle ear disease,
(b) Otosclerosis,
(c) Congenital fixation of the stapes,
(d) Secondary surgical intervention to correct for a significant and persistent conductive hearing loss from prior otologic surgery, and
(e) Surgically correctible injury to the middle ear from trauma.

Device Description

The Grace Medical Stapes Prostheses are manufactured from the same or similar materials as the predicate devices. Various designs of Stapes Prostheses are available to meet physician preference. Materials include Titanium, Fluoroplastic, Stainless Steel, Platinum, Tantalum, Silicone, and Nitinol. Shaft diameters range from 0.3 to 0.8 mm and functional lengths range from 3.0 to 6.5 mm. The devices are supplied sterile.

AI/ML Overview

The provided documents do not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a study designed to prove that the Grace Medical Partial Ossicular Replacement Prostheses meet such criteria.

The documents are a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Partial Ossicular Replacement Prostheses). In a 510(k) submission, the primary goal is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific performance criteria through a dedicated study with defined acceptance criteria and statistical analysis.

Instead, the submission provides:

  • Comparison Charts (Tables in sections {1} and {2}): These tables compare the Grace Medical device with several predicate devices based on attributes like:
    • Intended Use
    • Material(s)
    • Shaft Diameter (mm)
    • Functional Length (mm)
    • Loop Dia (mm)
    • How Supplied (Sterile)

The stated rationale for substantial equivalence is that "Differences between the Grace Medical Modified Partial Ossicular Replacement Prostheses and the predicate devices should not affect the safety or effectiveness."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving their fulfillment as it is not present in the provided text.

Dear Mr. Cobb:

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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
