AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically osteosynthesis screws. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices rather than proving new efficacy or safety through clinical trials or comprehensive performance studies against acceptance criteria in the way AI/ML devices typically would.

Therefore, the requested information categories (acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are largely not applicable in the context of this device type and the regulatory submission provided.

However, I can extract information related to the device's technical validation, which serves a similar purpose to "meeting acceptance criteria" in this context:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Mechanical Equivalence: Device's mechanical behavior to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices.Dimensional modifications were evaluated through comparison with predicate devices and analysis of impact on mechanical behavior based on standard ASTM F543.
Pyrogenicity: Device must meet pyrogen limit specifications.Passed Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011.
Material Equivalence: Material should be identical to predicate devices.Manufactured from Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, according to ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136 standards, identical to predicate materials.
Design Equivalence: Similar design to predicate devices (cannulated, self-tapping, self-drilling, compression/neutralization).Confirmed.
Size Range Equivalence: Comparable size range to predicate devices.Confirmed, with length discrepancies of the I.B.S.™ osteosynthesis screw predicate (K131920) in comparison to the modified I.B.S.™ Osteosynthesis screws 6.5mm diameter specifically addressed and deemed not to impact safety/effectiveness.
Indications for Use Equivalence: Similar indications to predicate devices.Confirmed (fixation of arthrodesis, osteotomies or fractures of long or short bones of the upper and lower limbs, osteosynthesis requiring mono or bicortical compression).

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • This is not a study involving patient data or test sets in the typical sense of AI/ML device evaluation. The "test set" here refers to the physical devices undergoing mechanical testing and material analysis.
  • The document states, "No new bench testing was deemed required to assess the torsional properties, driving torque and axial pullout of the modified I.B.S.™ osteosynthesis screws." This implies that existing data or established properties from the predicate device (K131920) were leveraged, and the analysis focused on the impact of the modifications on these properties rather than re-testing a specific number of new screws for all properties.
  • The pyrogen test refers to "batch testing"; however, the specific sample size for LAL testing is not provided.
  • Data provenance regarding a specific country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature isn't applicable as it's primarily an engineering and material equivalence assessment against standards.

3. 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. The "ground truth" for this type of device is established by engineering standards (e.g., ASTM F543, ISO 5832-3, ASTM F136, ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011) and material science principles, not by human experts interpreting clinical data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. This is not a study requiring human adjudication for data interpretation. Adherence to standards is the primary method of verification.

5. 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. This is a medical device (screw), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device that would involve human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance and safety is rooted in engineering standards, material specifications, and regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO, ASTM, ANSI/AAMI) that define the expected mechanical properties, material composition, and biocompatibility (e.g., pyrogenicity) for bone fixation screws. The demonstration of substantial equivalence relies on conforming to these established objective benchmarks.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires ground truth for a training set.

Comparison ofTechnologicalcharacteristicsThe technological characteristics of the modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws are equivalent to the characteristics of predicate devices in terms of design, size range, raw material. All these implants have the following features:- Insertion into bone: The modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws and all predicate devices are intended for surgical implantation into bone for longer than 30 days.- Design: Predicate devices have similar design as the modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws. They all are cannulated, self-tapping and self-drilling screws with either a compression or a neutralization design.- Indications for use: Predicate devices have equivalent indications for use as the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws in terms of fixation of arthrodesis, osteotomies or fractures of long or short bones of the upper and lower limbs. These non-identical indications are equivalent and do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws.- Equivalent size range: Predicate devices have comparable size range of as the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws. The slightly difference of the predicates does not impact the safety and effectiveness of the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws.The length discrepancies of the I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screw predicate (K131920) in comparison to the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws 6.5mm diameter are the reason of this Special 510(k) submission and do not impact the safety and effectiveness of the modified I.B.S.TM Osteosynthesis screws 6.5mm diameter, as it is explained in the "Performance Testing" section.- Material: The modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws have identical raw material, when compared to the predicate: all are manufactured from Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, according to ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136 standards.
SubstantialEquivalenceSummaryAs described above, the modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screwshave similar technological characteristics when compared to thepredicate devices.
SummaryPerformanceDataThe dimensional modifications between the unmodified I.B.S.TMosteosynthesis Screws, K131920, and the modified I.B.S.TMosteosynthesis Screws have been evaluated through dimensionalcomparison with predicate devices and analysis of the impact onmechanical behavior based on standard ASTM F543.This standard describes methods to assess the torque to failure,insertion torque, axial pullout strength, and self-tappingperformance of screws. No new bench testing was deemedrequired to assess the torsional properties, driving torque andaxial pullout of the modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws.Therefore, the subject device was demonstrated to be as safeand effective as the above predicates
Pyrogen testingThe method used to make the determination that the devicemeets pyrogen limit specification is the Limulus AmebocyteLysate (LAL) test in accordance with ANSI/AAMIST72:2011: Bacterial endotoxins – Test methods, routinemonitoring and alternative to batch testing.
CONCLUSIONBased on the evaluations and the results of the dimensionalcomparison performed, the design and indications of themodified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws are substantiallyequivalent to the predicate devices identified in the 510(k)submission. No new materials or processes are used in thedevelopment of this implant.The modified I.B.S.TM osteosynthesis screws are acceptablefor the application.
