AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "PK High Tibial Osteotomy Correction System." This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than providing details of an AI/ML algorithm's performance.

Therefore, the information required to answer your questions regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details for an AI/ML device is NOT present in this submission.

This 510(k) submission confirms that:

  • The device is a medical device (external fixator), not an AI/ML algorithm.
  • The approval is based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a clinical performance study of an AI/ML algorithm.
  • Non-clinical performance data (mechanical testing) was conducted, referring to ASTM F1541, to demonstrate substantial equivalence, but this is physical device testing, not AI/ML algorithm performance.
  • "Clinical testing was not required for this submission." This explicitly states that no clinical performance data was gathered or submitted for this device, which would be crucial for evaluating an AI/ML algorithm.

In summary, the provided document does not contain the information requested in your prompt because it is about a physical medical device clearance, not an AI/ML algorithm's regulatory approval.

§ 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.
