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 Phantom® nails are offered in a variety of sizes lengths, and configurations to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The Phantom® screws insert through the intramedullary nail to secure the construct. These are offered in varying lengths to accommodate the anatomical fixation required.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the TTC Phantom® Intramedullary Nail System, which is a medical device for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. It does NOT describe an AI/ML powered device, and therefore the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI/ML performance, ground truth establishment, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert involvement, and reader studies is not applicable to this submission.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through:
- Indications for Use: Listing the specific conditions for which the device is intended.
- Device Description: Detailing the components of the system.
- Preclinical Testing: Describing mechanical testing (static and dynamic per ASTM F1264-14), wear testing, and biocompatibility evaluation (per ISO 10993-1 and CDRH's 2016 Biocompatibility Guidance). Additional testing mentioned includes bacterial endotoxins and sterilization.
- Conclusion: Stating that the device is substantially equivalent to predicates based on intended use, technological characteristics, and preclinical testing.
Therefore, I cannot provide details on AI/ML acceptance criteria or studies from the provided text.
§ 888.3020 Intramedullary fixation rod.
(a)
Identification. An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.(b)
Classification. Class II.
