Device Description

The Memory Staple is a single-use, bone fixation appliance intended to be implanted in the foot. It is a bicortical compression staple manufactured from a Nickel-Titanium alloy.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device called the "Memory™ Staple." It details the device's description, intended use, indications for use, and a statement of substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

However, the document does not contain information related to acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. This type of information would typically be found in a performance data section, which is absent from this summary.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the specific points listed (Table of acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details) because the provided text does not contain any of this information.

The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device (DePuy Memory Staple, K964226) based on similarities in intended use, indications for use, materials, and design. This suggests that the regulatory submission relied on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device rather than presenting new clinical or performance study data for the new device itself.

Dear Ms. Myer:

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.

§ 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.
