The Acute Bone Screw is a general purpose screw intended to stabilize and provide fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax (ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula).
The Acute Bone Screws consists of bone screws of varying lengths. The screws are partially and fully threaded, have a head with a hex drive, are cannulated or solid, and can be used with or without a plate or washer. The screws are manufactured out of titanium per ASTM F-136 and are provided non-sterile.
The provided text does not describe acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or a study to prove the device meets acceptance criteria.
Instead, the document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Acute Bone Screw." This type of submission to the FDA focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices, rather than reporting on specific performance studies or acceptance criteria for the new device.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:
- No acceptance criteria or device performance reported: The document explicitly states: "An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable." This means the submission did not include performance metrics or acceptance criteria as it was deemed unnecessary for demonstrating substantial equivalence for this type of device.
- Focus on substantial equivalence: The core argument of the 510(k) is that the "Acute Bone Screw" is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices (Macropore OS Reconstruction System K024169 and Acumed Cortical Bone Screw K942340) based on shared technological characteristics (Titanium per ASTM F-136) and similar intended use.
- No studies described: Since performance data and tests were deemed "not applicable," there is no mention of a study, sample sizes, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.
Therefore, it is not possible to fill out the requested table or answer the questions based on the provided text.
The document concludes that "Based upon the similarities of the Acute Bone Screw and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acute Bone Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced." This implies that the 'acceptance criteria' were met by demonstrating sufficient similarity to already approved devices, rather than through novel performance testing.

Device Description: The Acute Bone Screws consists of bone screws of varying lengths. The screws are partially and fully threaded, have a head with a hex drive, are cannulated or solid, and can be used with or without a plate or washer. The screws are manufactured out of titanium per ASTM F-136 and are provided non-sterile.
Intended Use: The Acute Bone Screw is a general purpose screw intended to stabilize and provide fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax (ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula).
These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics: The Acute Bone Screws are made out of Titanium per ASTM F-136. The equivalent screw device listed for Acumed also use Titanium per ASTM F-136.
An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.
Based upon the similarities of the Acute Bone Screw and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acute Bone Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced,

Dear Mr. Thomas:
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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
