Device Description

The CHARLOTTE™ CLAW® 3.5 consists of curved 4-hole plates and locking screws of various lengths. All plates and screws are manufactured from stainless steel.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (CHARLOTTE™ CLAW® 3.5), which is a compression plate used for bone fixation. This type of document is for regulatory approval and does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, study design, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-based medical devices.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information such as:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance
  • Number of experts and their qualifications
  • Adjudication method
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study results
  • Standalone performance
  • Type of ground truth used
  • Sample size for the training set
  • How ground truth for the training set was established

This document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on design features, materials, and analysis data, not on clinical performance studies or AI/ML model validation.

Dear Ms. Holtgrewe:

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 (21CFR 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.

§ 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.
