Device Description

The HEALIX ADVANCETM Anchor with DYNACORDTM Suture is a threaded suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly. HEALIX ADVANCETM Anchors with DYNACORDTM Suture are available in absorbable BR and non-absorbable PEEK materials. Devices with needles will be offered to facilitate suture passage through tissue. The HEALIX ADVANCETM Anchor with DYNACORDTM Suture is provided sterile and is for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the HEALIX ADVANCE™ Anchor with DYNACORD™ Suture. It describes the device, its intended use, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, supported by non-clinical testing. However, it does not contain information related to a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/algorithm-based medical device performance.

Specifically, the document discusses a suture anchor (a physical medical device used in orthopedic surgery), not an image-based AI or algorithm. Therefore, the requested information (acceptance criteria for an AI, sample sizes for AI test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance) is not applicable to this document.

The "studies" mentioned in the document are non-clinical physical tests of the suture anchor and suture, such as:

  • suture diameter
  • knot tensile strength
  • suture approximation force
  • chemical characterization
  • anchor fixation (in-vitro and in-vivo)
  • torque testing
  • biocompatibility
  • sterility
  • packaging
  • shelf-life
  • bacterial endotoxin testing

These tests are to demonstrate the physical properties and safety of the orthopedic implant and suture, not the performance of an AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or details about an AI study based on the provided text.

§ 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.
