AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) Premarket Notification for medical devices, specifically suture and tissue anchors. It details the device, its intended use, and states that non-clinical testing was performed. However, it does not contain information about formal acceptance criteria, a specific study proving those criteria were met, or any of the detailed aspects typically associated with clinical or performance studies for AI/software devices.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on material biocompatibility and non-clinical engineering tests.

Therefore, many of the requested categories cannot be filled from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown based on the information available:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a direct study proving specified performance metrics against such criteria in a clinical context. Instead, it makes a general statement:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Safety and functional performance requirements are satisfied."Non-clinical test data (deployment, static pull-out, and cyclic suture retention testing) indicate that the device is safe and satisfies functional performance requirements when used as indicated and do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness."
Substantial equivalence to predicate device."The documentation provided demonstrates that the KFx APPIANFx™ PEEK Suture Anchors and KFx APPIANFx™ PEEK Tissue Anchors are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device and is safe and effective when used as indicated."

Study Details (Based on available information)

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

    • Sample Size: Not specified. The study mentioned is "non-clinical test data (deployment, static pull-out, and cyclic suture retention testing)." These tests are typically conducted on a sample of devices, but the exact number is not provided.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, but given it's non-clinical testing, it would likely be laboratory-generated data rather than patient data.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable: The study described is non-clinical (mechanical testing), not involving ground truth derived from expert review of medical images or patient outcomes.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable: No adjudication method mentioned as it's non-clinical mechanical testing, not a clinical study involving human judgment.
  4. 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:

    • No: This is a physical medical device (suture/tissue anchors), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant, and no AI component is involved.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No: See point 4. This is a physical device.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Engineering specifications/measurements: For the non-clinical tests (deployment, static pull-out, cyclic suture retention), the "ground truth" would be the measured physical properties and performance characteristics against predefined engineering standards or comparison to the predicate device's performance.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable: There is no mention of a training set as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable: See point 7.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
