AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (intramedullary fixation rod), not a study evaluating device performance against acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, ground truth, and expert involvement is not present in this document.

Here's what can be inferred from the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • This document is a 510(k) submission, indicating a review by the FDA for substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a clinical study with predefined acceptance criteria and performance reporting in the typical sense.
  • The letter states, "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...". This implies that the device met the regulatory acceptance criterion of being substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
  • No specific performance metrics are reported in this document.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving a test set of data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. The document refers to "input from surgeons who have reviewed the surgical technique" for contraindications, but this is not related to establishing ground truth for a test set in a clinical performance study.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This document does not describe such a study and the device is an intramedullary fixation rod, not an AI diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable.

Dear Ms. Crowe:

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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
