The Pitkar External Fixation System is indicated for both adults and pediatric patients for:
- Open and closed fracture fixation
- Pseudoarthrosis or non-union of long bones
- Limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction
- Correction of bony or soft tissue deformities
- Correction of segmental or nonsegmental bony or soft tissue defects
- Post-Traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion
The purpose of this submission is to request clearance for the new Pitkar External Fixation System. The implantable components are manufactured from Stainless Steel per ASTM F899. The system will be provided in non-sterile configuration and will require to be steam sterilized by the user prior to use.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Pitkar External Fixation System. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on non-clinical testing. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that a device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI/ML-based device.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through non-clinical performance and similarity to predicate devices, which is a common regulatory pathway for medical devices that are not AI/ML-based.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, the performance of such a device, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or human reader effectiveness from this document. The document explicitly states "Clinical Tests: o N/A," indicating no human clinical trials were conducted for this submission.
If you have a document pertaining to an AI/ML device with details of its validation study, I would be happy to analyze it for the requested information.
§ 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)
