AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (IsoelasticU™ wrist joint ulnar prosthesis). It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way described in your request (e.g., performance metrics, sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or training set details).

Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (SBI Uhead Implant). This is a different regulatory pathway than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for a novel device or AI/software.

Here's a breakdown of why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:

  1. No Acceptance Criteria or Reported Device Performance Table: The document explicitly states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to the SBI Uhead Implant. The table provided compares features and indications for use between the IsoelasticU and the predicate device, not performance metrics against acceptance criteria.
  2. No Study Described: There is no description of a clinical study, algorithm performance study, or any kind of test set evaluation to demonstrate the IsoelasticU™ meets specific performance metrics.
  3. No AI Mentioned: The device is a physical prosthesis, not an AI or software device. Therefore, concepts like "test set," "training set," "ground truth," "MRMC study," or "standalone algorithm performance" are not applicable to this document.
  4. Regulatory Approach: The 510(k) process for this device relies on demonstrating that it is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, not on proving new performance against predefined quantitative criteria through a performance study.

In summary, the provided text does not contain the information required to answer your prompt because it is a 510(k) summary for a physical medical device (a prosthesis) that demonstrates substantial equivalence, not a performance study for an AI/software device or a novel device proving specific acceptance criteria.

Summary: Similarities of REMI Isoelastic U and SBI U head lies in the fact that they are both modular implants intended for use with press fit stems. Both the devices are intended for single use for implantation longer than 30 days. Both devices are made of standard industry materials with similar sizes and same indications.

Dear Dr. Naidu:

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.

§ 888.3810 Wrist joint ulnar (hemi-wrist) polymer prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A wrist joint ulnar (hemi-wrist) polymer prosthesis is a mushroom-shaped device made of a medical grade silicone elastomer or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene intended to be implanted into the intramedullary canal of the bone and held in place by a suture. Its purpose is to cover the resected end of the distal ulna to control bone overgrowth and to provide an articular surface for the radius and carpus.(b)
Classification. Class II.
