The TTC Phantom® Intramedullary Nail system is intended for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion) and to provide stabilization of the hindfoot and ankle including the transverse tarsal joints coupling the mid-foot to the hindfoot. Examples of specific indications include:
- Post-traumatic or degenerative arthritis
- Previously infected arthrosis
- Revision of failed ankle arthrodesis
- Revision of failed total ankle arthroplasty
- Talar deficiency conditions such as avascular necrosis of the talus (requiring tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis)
- Neuromuscular deformity or other neuromuscular disease with severe deformity or instability of the ankle
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Nonunions or pseudarthrosis of hindfoot and distal tibia
- Trauma (severe or malunited tibial pilon fracture)
- Charcot foot (neuroarthropathy)
- Severe end-stage degenerative arthritis
- Instability and skeletal defects after tumor resection
- Pantalar arthrodesis
- Severe foot/ankle deformity
The Paragon 28® TTC Phantom® Intramedullary Nail System is comprised of intramedullary nails, screws and accessory components. The TTC Phantom® nails are offered in a variety of sizes and lengths to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The TTC Phantom® screws insert through the intramedullary nail to secure the construct. These are offered in varying lengths to accommodate the anatomical fixation required.
This is for the approval of a physical medical device (TTC Phantom® Intramedullary Nail System), not a medical AI device. Therefore, much of the requested information (like sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) is not applicable here as these concepts are specific to the evaluation of AI/ML models.
However, I can provide information based on the provided text regarding the closest equivalent to acceptance criteria and the study performed for this physical device.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Closest Equivalent for a Physical Device)
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Mechanical and Material Equivalence to Predicate Devices | The modified devices demonstrate that the original testing and subsequent performance are not adversely affected by changes in geometry. The analysis and study results indicate the modified designs are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in performance. |
| Same Indications for Use as Predicate | The modified TTC Phantom® Intramedullary Nail System possesses the same indications for use as the predicate device. |
| Same Technological Characteristics as Predicate | The modified devices possess the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, including performance, basic design, material, manufacturing, and comparable dimensions. |
Study Information (Based on Physical Device Evaluation):
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of AI/ML model evaluation. For this physical device, the "test set" would refer to the components undergoing engineering analysis and cadaveric implantation. The text does not specify the number of components or cadavers used, nor their specific provenance.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a physical device like an intramedullary nail is established through engineering principles, material testing standards, and mechanical performance evaluation rather than subjective expert consensus on data interpretation.
-
Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable for a physical device evaluation. Adjudication methods are typically employed in studies where multiple human readers interpret data that may have ambiguous findings, which is not the case for material and mechanical performance testing.
-
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: Not applicable. This is for a physical medical device, not an AI product.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is for a physical medical device.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Engineering analysis: This implies adherence to established engineering principles and standards for material strength, durability, and biomechanical function.
- Cadaveric implantation study: This provides practical, real-world (though ex-vivo) evidence of how the device performs within a biological context, assessing fit, stability, and potential issues during implantation.
- The "ground truth" here is the objective measurement of mechanical properties and functional performance against established benchmarks and predicate device performance.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is for a physical medical device. The "training" for such a device involves design iterations, material selection, and manufacturing process optimization, not algorithm training data.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. For a physical device, continuous improvement and design validation are ongoing processes. The basis for design decisions and material choices would come from established engineering and medical device standards, previous product performance, and clinical needs.

Dear Eric Lintula:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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 with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
