The Emerge Medical Small Fragment Locked Plating System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula, including osteopenic bone.
The System consists of stainless steel plates (including straight, reconstruction, periarticular t-plates, humerus, one-third tubular), standard cortex screws, locking cortex screws, standard cancellous screws, and washers. The plates are available in a variety of styles and lengths with the number of holes varying depending on plate length, and include threaded locking holes and non-threaded dynamic compression slots. The screws and plates are provided non-sterile. The Emerge Medical Small Fragment Locked Plating System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula, including osteopenic bone.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Emerge Medical Small Fragment Locked Plating System," which is a metallic bone fixation device. This type of device is an orthopedic implant, not an AI/ML medical device, and therefore the concepts of acceptance criteria related to algorithmic performance, study designs like MRMC studies, ground truth establishment, and training/test sets are not applicable in this context.
The "Performance Data" section explicitly states: "Mechanical testing performed according to ASTM F382 demonstrated that the device performs as well as or better than the predicate device. Clinical data were not needed to demonstrate substantial equivalence."
This indicates that the regulatory clearance for this device was based on mechanical equivalency to existing predicate devices, not on the performance of a diagnostic or assistive algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, as it is not applicable to this submission.
§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
