The TMC Plating System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the feet. In the foot, the system can be used for the following specific examples:
-- First metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus correction such as:
- Opening base wedge osteotomy
- Closing base wedge osteotomy
- · Crescentic osteotomy
- Proximal Chevron osteotomy
- · Distal Chevron osteotomy (Austin)
- -- First metatarsal fracture fixation
- -- Arthrodesis of the first metatarsalcuneiform joint (Lapidus Fusion)
- -- Flatfoot Osteotomies
- · Lateral Column Lengthening (Evans Osteotomy)
- · Plantar Flexion Opening Wedge Osteotomy of the Medial Cuneiform (Cotton
- Osteotomy)
- -- Mid / Flatfoot Fusions
- · LisFranc Arthrodesis and/or Stabilization
- · 1st (Lapidus), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Tarsometatarsal (TMT) Fusions
- · Intercuneiform Fusions
- Navicular-Cuneiform (NC) Fusion
- Talo-Navicular (TN) Fusion
- Calcaneo-Cuboid (CC) Fusion
- -- Medial Column Fusion
- -- Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP)
The Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Plating System includes a curved PYTHON™ plate to accommodate the tarso-metatarsal (TMT) joint, which is an indication of the TMC Plating System. The plate is available in both right and left configurations and is used with compatible 2.5 mm diameter screws in lengths ranging from 10-28 mm. The plates and screws are intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the feet. All implantable components are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-ELI).
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Plating System. This type of regulatory submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study with detailed performance metrics.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria, as typically understood for AI/ML or diagnostic device performance evaluation.
Here's why and what information is available:
- Device Type: The TMC Plating System is a metallic bone fixation appliance, not an AI/ML or diagnostic device. Its clearance relies on demonstrating that its mechanical performance is equivalent to an already cleared device, not on diagnostic accuracy metrics.
- Regulatory Pathway: A 510(k) submission generally requires demonstration of substantial equivalence through design comparisons, material testing, and mechanical performance testing, rather than clinical efficacy trials that would generate acceptance criteria and detailed performance statistics like sensitivity, specificity, or ROC AUC.
However, I can interpret some of the information in the context of "acceptance criteria" as applied to mechanical testing and "study" as referring to the mechanical testing performed:
1. Table of "Acceptance Criteria" and Reported Device Performance (as interpreted for a mechanical device):
| Acceptance Criteria (Proxy) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance: • Dynamic 4-point bending strength equivalent to the predicate device per ASTM F382. | The results of the dynamic 4-point bend testing confirmed the subject PYTHON™ plate to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices of the TMC Plating System. |
| Material Equivalence: • Implants manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-ELI). | All implantable components are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-ELI), identical to the predicate device. |
| Design/Dimension Equivalence: • Design and dimensions are identical to the predicate device. | The subject PYTHON™ plate is identical to the predicate device with respect to indications for use, design, dimension, and materials. |
| Indications for Use Equivalence: • Indications for use are the same as the predicate device. | The subject device includes all of the same indications as the predicates. |
Study That Proves Device Meets "Acceptance Criteria":
The "study" referenced is mechanical testing, specifically dynamic 4-point bend testing performed according to ASTM F382.
Regarding the other requested information, it is not present in the document because it pertains to AI/ML or diagnostic performance studies, which were not conducted for this type of device submission:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable. This was mechanical testing, not a clinical study on a patient test set.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical equivalence is established through engineering specifications and comparison to a predicate device's known mechanical properties.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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: Not applicable. No human reader involvement or AI assistance for implantable hardware.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. No algorithm is involved. This is a physical medical device.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For this device, the "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is based on:
- Mechanical equivalence to the predicate device (as determined by ASTM F382 testing).
- Material equivalence (both devices use medical grade titanium alloy Ti6Al4V-ELI).
- Design and dimensional equivalence to the predicate device.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no training set for a mechanical device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the document describes a 510(k) submission for a bone plating system, where "acceptance criteria" are demonstrated through engineering specification comparison and mechanical testing to an already cleared predicate device, rather than through clinical performance metrics and expert-derived ground truth as would be relevant for AI/ML or diagnostic devices.

Substantial Equivalence:
The subject PYTHON™ plate of the TMC Plating System components is identical to the predicate device with respect to indications for use, design, dimension, and materials to the following device, previously cleared by the FDA:
- Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Plating System (K143717) ●
As indicated above, there are insignificant differences between the subject and predicate devices. The PYTHONTM plate does not present a new worst-case to the TMC plating system. The subject device includes all of the same indications as the predicates. Thus, the subject PYTHON™ plate is substantially equivalent to the predicate TMC Plating System.
Performance Testing:
Mechanical testing, includes dynamic 4-point bend testing has been performed per ASTM F382 on the subject PYTHON™ plate of the TMC Plating System and the results have confirmed them to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices of the TMC Plating System.
§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
