Device Description

Smith & Nephew Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are provided in various non-absorbable materials. All of the Smith & Nephew Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are provided sterile, for single use only. All Smith & Nephew Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are preassembled onto an inserter, sized appropriately to accommodate the indicated procedures. Smith & Nephew Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors come in various configurations, including: with attached non-absorbable suture(s). In certain configurations, the Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are packaged with a quide and awl. All configurations of the Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are identical to the identified predicate devices.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for several suture anchors manufactured by Smith & Nephew. It predominantly focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than detailing a study that proves a device meets specific acceptance criteria.

The document lists the product names, their intended uses (which are identical to those of the predicate devices), and states that the substantial equivalence is based on identical indications for use, design features, operational principles, material composition, and performance to the predicate devices. It also mentions "Ship Testing and Post-Shipment mechanical functional testing for insertion and pullout (fixation) force demonstrates that the Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices."

However, the document does not contain the detailed information required to answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and a study design that proves a device meets those criteria. The provided text is a regulatory clearance document, not a clinical study report or a detailed engineering test report.

Therefore, I cannot extract the following information from the provided text:

A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document states that the anchors "are substantially equivalent" in performance, but it doesn't provide a table of quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum pullout strength in Newtons) or the specific measured performance values for the new devices and predicates.
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: While "Ship Testing and Post-Shipment mechanical functional testing" is mentioned, the sample sizes, type of data (e.g., in-vitro, ex-vivo), or provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not detailed.
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications: This type of information is typically related to clinical image interpretation or diagnosis studies, not mechanical testing of implants. There's no mention of experts establishing a "ground truth" in this context.
Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable as there's no mention of expert review or clinical assessment.
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable. This is for AI-assisted image interpretation studies, not mechanical device clearance.
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is not an AI device.
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): In the context of mechanical testing mentioned, the "ground truth" would be the measured physical properties (e.g., force, displacement), but the document does not specify the methods or a reference standard in detail.
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as there's no machine learning algorithm involved.
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document is a regulatory approval letter for a medical device based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and as such, it does not contain the detailed study design and results (acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, etc.) typically found in a clinical or performance study report. The statement "Ship Testing and Post-Shipment mechanical functional testing for insertion and pullout (fixation) force demonstrates that the Non-Absorbable Suture Anchors are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices" is the extent of the performance data provided, without specific numerical detail or study methodology.

Summary

Regulation Number and Section

§ 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.
