The TalarLift STS arthroereisis implant is designed for use in the treatment of the hyperpronated foot and stabilization of the subtalar joint. It is designed to block the posterior and inferior displacement of the talus, allowing normal subtalar joint motion while blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequelae. The TalarLift STS is intended for the following pathological conditions resulting from disease, injury, or other trauma:
• Hypermobile pes valgus;
• Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction;
• Severe pronation;
• Subtalar instability;
• Hypermobile flexible congenital flat foot.
The TalarLift STS consists of a threaded implant, designed to be inserted between the posterior and middle facets of the subtalar joint, and corresponding instrumentation to facilitate insertion. The system consists of three configurations, conical, cylindrical, and anatomic. All three devices are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) complying with ASTM F136.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the TalarLift STS device, which is a subtalar spacer. It describes the device, its intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This document does not describe an AI/ML powered device, nor does it contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that an AI/ML device meets those criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves an AI/ML device meets those criteria based on the provided text. The document primarily focuses on non-clinical testing for mechanical properties and pyrogenicity of a physical implant. It explicitly states, "No clinical studies were performed."
§ 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.
