AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device (suture anchor). It describes the device, its intended use, and states that it has met performance specifications. However, the document does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning algorithm or a human-in-the-loop study as would be relevant for the acceptance criteria and study design questions posed.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given text. The text only mentions "Mechanical insertion test data demonstrates the device has met the performance specifications" without detailing those specifications or the methodology of the mechanical tests.

To answer your request, the input text would need to describe an AI/ML device, its performance metrics (acceptance criteria), and the details of a clinical or technical study conducted to prove it meets those criteria, including details about data, ground truth, and expert involvement.

§ 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.
