Intended Use

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.

Device Description

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is composed of a modular implantable intramedullary rod ("Distracting Rod"), locking screws, an external remote controller (ERC), and surgical implantation tools and accessories. The modular implantable in different configurations, lengths, and diameters to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies. Likewise, the locking screws are available in two different diameters and a variety of lengths from 20 mm to 75 mm in 5 mm increments. The distracting rod is a modular system that includes the PRECICE Actuator component and various configurations of PRECICE Extension Rods. The PRECICE Actuator includes an enclosed rare earth magnet, telescoping lead screw/nut assembly and gearing. The PRECICE Actuator is supplied sterile by gamma sterilization while the PRECICE Extension Rods, locking screws, and reusable accessories are supplied non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. The External Remote Controller (ERC) is a non-invasive adjustment component of the system. The ERC is electrically powered and is used for non-invasive lengthening of the implanted rod.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria or details about a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria.

The document is a 510(k) summary for the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System, primarily focusing on:

  • Product Description: What the device is and its components (intramedullary rod, locking screws, external remote controller).
  • Indications for Use: What the device is intended for (closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, mal-unions, and non-unions of long bones).
  • Substantial Equivalence: How the device is similar to previously cleared devices (predicates) and therefore deemed safe and effective. It explicitly states that the purpose of the premarket notification is to provide labeling for fracture fixation and that substantial equivalence is based on similar indications and technological characteristics.
  • FDA Clearance Letter: Official communication from the FDA confirming the 510(k) clearance based on substantial equivalence.

There is no mention of specific acceptance criteria, test results, device performance metrics, or study designs to prove that the device meets such criteria. Therefore, I cannot generate the requested table or answer the specific questions about sample sizes, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth for either test or training sets.

The External Remote Controller (ERC) is a non-invasive adjustment component of the system. The ERC is electrically powered and is used for non-invasive lengthening of the implanted rod.

Indications 6.

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.

7. Substantial equivalence

Documentation demonstrates substantial equivalence to the following devices:

  • Ellipse PRECICE Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System (K101997) .
  • . Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System (K092190)
  • Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail Femoral and Tibial (K061019) .

The purpose of this premarket notification is to provide labeling for this system for use in fracture fixation of long bones. Specifically, the following indication is included in the instructions for use:

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.

Substantial equivalence is based on similar indications for use to both the Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail and Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System predicate devices and similar technological characteristics to the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System, Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail and Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System predicates.

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is identical to the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System, with the exception that the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail is provided extended by approximately 10 mm to allow for compression fracture fixation techniques. Specifically, the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System and the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System are both designed to be implanted into the medullary canal of the long bones. These devices are available in a variety of geometrical configurations and diameters and lengths to accommodate a variety of

patient anatomies. Both devices are designed as a telescoping rod that can be adjusted in length non-invasively with the use of the ERC.

Review of the product designs and of the labeling demonstrate the equivalence of the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. McIntyre:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
