Intended Use

The Alians Fragment Specific range is intended for hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies and arthrodeses in adults.

Device Description

The Alians Fragment Specific range consists of plates and screws designed for hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies and arthrodeses in adults.
The implants of the Alians Fragment Specific range will be provided non sterile for sterilization by health care professionals prior to use or provided sterile by gamma sterilization.

Single use kits (Initial FS) contain implants and instruments provided sterile by gamma sterilization.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Alians Fragment Specific" range of bone fixation plates and screws. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device's efficacy through comprehensive clinical trials with pre-defined acceptance criteria and detailed study results as one might find for a novel AI/software medical device.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information required to answer most of your questions, as these questions are typically relevant to the validation of AI-driven medical devices or devices where clinical performance claims are being made based on specific outcome measures.

Here's what can be extracted and what cannot:

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

This information is not available in the document. The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through non-clinical testing (mechanical tests) and similarity in design, materials, and intended use to predicate devices, not on setting and meeting specific clinical acceptance criteria.

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

This information is not available in the document. The document refers to "non-clinical tests" such as comparative static bend tests, fatigue bend tests, torsional tests, insertion and removal tests, and pull-out tests. These are mechanical tests performed on the device components themselves, not on patient data or clinical datasets. Therefore, concepts like "test set," "data provenance," "country of origin," and "retrospective/prospective" do not apply in this context.

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)

This information is not applicable/not available. Since no clinical studies or human-involved ground truth establishment for a diagnostic/interpretive task were performed, there were no experts establishing ground truth in this context.

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

This information is not applicable/not available. As no clinical test set requiring human adjudication was involved, this is not relevant.

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

This information is not applicable/not available. The device is a physical implant (bone fixation plates and screws), not an AI/software device designed to assist human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

This information is not applicable/not available. The device is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

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

This information is not applicable/not available in the context of clinical or diagnostic performance. For the mechanical non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be the established engineering standards and specifications (e.g., ASTM F382, ASTM F543) that the device must meet or be comparable to the predicate device.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable/not available. The device is a physical implant, and there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense.

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

This information is not applicable/not available. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.

In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a physical medical device (bone fixation plates and screws) and primarily demonstrates substantial equivalence through mechanical testing and comparison to predicate devices, rather than through clinical studies requiring data sets, ground truth, or expert adjudication as would be found for AI/software devices.

Dear Mr. J.D. Webb:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply

{1}------------------------------------------------

with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

§ 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.
