Hallux Limitus or Rigidus
Resurfacing of Arthritic /Metatarsal joint
To fixate, use cement or press fit without cement
The implant is a fixation metal device, machined from implant quality cobalt-chrome alloy. The implant is cannulated to allow proper positioning. The stem is threaded and functions as a selfreaming and self-tapping screw for easy insertion. The shaft design is a duplicate of Vilex Cannulated Hemi Implant, K023684. The head is spherical and mirror-polished. The outside appearance resembles the STD Great Toe Resurfacing Hemi-Arthroplasty Implant, K031859. Use Only with Approved Bone Cement
Auxiliary instruments for implanting, aligning, countersinking come with "The Met-head."
The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of a medical device, the Vilex™ Met-Head™, by the FDA. It details information about the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria, as this information is not present in the provided document.
To be clear, the document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA, which means the device was found to be "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. This process typically relies on demonstrating equivalence in design, materials, indications for use, and technological characteristics, rather than requiring new clinical studies with defined acceptance criteria for device performance. While the manufacturer would have internal testing to ensure the device meets its own specifications, these details are not part of this specific FDA clearance document.

Dear Ms. Southard:
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.
