AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Biomet Cannulated Screw System's acceptance criteria and study proving its efficacy:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Defined by Predicate Devices)Reported Device Performance (Summary of Non-Clinical Tests)
Design similar to predicate devicesSimilar design to predicate devices.
Dimensions similar to predicate devicesSimilar dimensions to predicate devices.
Material identical/similar to predicate devicesFabricated from Ti-6Al-4V alloy per ASTM F136 (a commonly used material in orthopedic implants and used in predicate devices K082874, K903810, K926047, K872859).
Meets mechanical standards (ASTM F543)Performed torsional, axial pullout, and driving torque mechanical tests per ASTM F543. Results indicate substantial equivalence to legally marketed devices.
Safe and effective performanceNo new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised. Results indicate the device will perform within the intended use.
MRI compatibility/justificationMRI justification performed.
Cadaver evaluationCadaver evaluation performed.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document does not specify a sample size for a test set. The evidence for substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical performance testing (mechanical tests, cadaver evaluation, MRI justification) and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a clinical "test set" in the context of human data.

The data provenance is non-clinical (laboratory and cadaveric testing).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This information is not applicable as there was no clinical "test set" in the traditional sense that required expert interpretation for ground truth. The evaluation focused on material properties, mechanical performance, and design equivalence to established predicate devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable as there was no clinical "test set" requiring adjudication or multi-reader reviews.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Summary of Clinical Tests Conducted for Determination of Substantial Equivalence and/or of Clinical Information: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence." This indicates that no clinical studies, including MRMC studies, were performed to compare the performance of human readers with and without AI assistance for this device.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

This is not applicable. The device is a physical medical implant (a cannulated screw system), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a standalone performance study for an algorithm is not relevant.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the device's performance was established through:

  • Engineering specifications and standards: Adherence to ASTM F136 (material) and ASTM F543 (mechanical testing).
  • Performance of predicate devices: The Biomet Cannulated Screw System's characteristics (design, dimensions, material) and performance were compared to those of legally marketed predicate devices, which implicitly serve as the "ground truth" for acceptable safety and effectiveness.
  • Non-clinical testing results: Specifically, the outcomes of torsional, axial pullout, and driving torque mechanical tests, and MRI justification, demonstrated "substantial equivalence."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. As a physical medical device (cannulated screw system), there is no 'training set' in the context of machine learning or AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This is not applicable for the reasons stated above (not an AI/ML device).

The Biomet Cannulated Screw System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices. No new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised.

Non-clinical performance testing included cadaver evaluation and MRI justification. Mechanical tests per ASTM F543 that were performed to determine substantial equivalence of the Biomet Cannulated Screws including torsional, axial pullout and driving torque. Results indicate that the subject screws are substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices offering a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.

§ 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.
