The Exsomed Wrist Plating System is intended for the repair of fractures and fusions of the hand and wrist.
The Exsomed Wrist Plating System is a set of implantable metallic (Titanium Alloy) bone plates, locking and non-locking screws of various lengths. The system consists of a series of straight tubular plates of varying lengths as well as a 4-hole carpal fusion plate. Screws are provided for plate fixation in locking and non-locking versions and in Ø2.5 and Ø3.2mm diameters. All of the Implants are made from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4VELI) per ASTM F136 and are provided non-sterile.
This looks like a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, which typically does not involve the kind of AI/machine learning performance study you're asking about. The document describes a biocompatibility and mechanical performance assessment for a traditional medical device (metallic bone fixation plates and screws), not an AI/ML powered device.
Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment cannot be found in this document because it pertains to a different type of device and regulatory submission.
However, I can extract the relevant "performance analysis" information related to the device's mechanical properties, which is the "acceptance criteria" and "study" described in this context.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted based on the provided text, and what is not applicable in this context:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for Exsomed Wrist Plating System (Mechanical Performance)
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the Exsomed Wrist Plating System, a traditional medical device consisting of metallic bone plates and screws for hand and wrist fracture repair and fusion. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described herein relate to the mechanical and material performance of these physical implants, not to the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Strength | Bending strength (ASTM F382-17 Annex 1) - Straight Plate | Substantially equivalent or superior to predicate | Higher bending strength than the Synthes predicate device. |
| Mechanical Stiffness | Bending stiffness (ASTM F382-17 Annex 1) - Straight Plate | Substantially equivalent or superior to predicate | Higher bending stiffness than the Synthes predicate device. |
| Screw Performance | Ultimate torsional strength of screws | Not introducing new safety/effectiveness issues | Compared to predicate, screws "did not introduce new issues of safety or effectiveness with respect to insertion and removal torque." |
| Screw Performance | Insertion and removal torque of screws | Not introducing new safety/effectiveness issues | Compared to predicate, screws "did not introduce new issues of safety or effectiveness with respect to insertion and removal torque." |
| Screw Performance | Bending stress of screws | No new worst-case compared to predicate | "Exsomed screws do not introduce a new worst case with respect to bending stress... when compared to the predicate devices." |
| Screw Performance | Torsional stress of screws | No new worst-case compared to predicate | "Exsomed screws do not introduce a new worst case with respect to... torsional stress... when compared to the predicate devices." |
| Screw Performance | Resistance to axial pullout of screws | No new worst-case compared to predicate | "Exsomed screws do not introduce a new worst case with respect to... resistance to axial pullout when compared to the predicate devices." |
| Biocompatibility | Material Composition | Consistent with established safe materials (Titanium) | Implants made from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4VELI) per ASTM F136, same as predicates. This implies accepted biocompatibility. |
| Functional Equivalence | Indications for Use | Equivalent to predicate devices | "has been compared to the previously cleared predicate devices in regards to indications for use, materials, and sizes." The system offers plates and screws in similar dimensions. Indicating substantial equivalence clinically. |

| Device Classification: | Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances andAccessories.Class II per 21 CFR 888.3030Panel: Orthopedic, |
| Product Code: | HRS,HWC |
| Material Composition: | Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4VELI) |
| Device Description: | The Exsomed Wrist Plating System is a set of implantable metallic(Titanium Alloy) bone plates, locking and non-locking screws of variouslengths. The system consists of a series of straight tubular plates ofvarying lengths as well as a 4-hole carpal fusion plate. Screws areprovided for plate fixation in locking and non-locking versions and inØ2.5 and Ø3.2mm diameters. All of the Implants are made fromTitanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4VELI) per ASTM F136 and are provided non-sterile. |
| Predicate Devices: | The primary predicate device is the existing Synthes Modular Hand Systemcleared under 510(k) K030310. Additional predicates include the BIOMETALPS Hand Fracture System (K081546) and reference device ExsomedInnate (K171558). |
| Indications for Use: | The Exsomed Wrist Plating System is intended for the repair of fracturesand fusions of the hand and wrist. |
{4}------------------------------------------------
| Technological Characteristics: | The Exsomed Wrist Plating System has been compared to the previouslycleared predicate devices in regards to indications for use, materials,and sizes. The Exsomed Wrist Plating system offers plates in similarlengths, widths, and thicknesses as the predicate devices as well aslocking and non-locking screws in similar diameters and lengths as thepredicate devices. All the Implants in the wrist plating system aremanufactured from the same titanium alloy as the Biomet ALPSPredicate (K081546). The Exsomed Wrist Plating System is differentfrom the predicates because the straight plates have a slightly differentoverall shape than those of the predicate and because The Exsomedsystem also includes a contoured carpal fusion plate that has transversescrew holes to secure the plate and perform joint arthrodesis. Thesecomparisons demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicatedevices. |
|---|---|
| Performance Analysis: | Mechanical testing per ASTM F382-17 Annex 1 was performed on theExsomed Wrist Plating System straight plate and the Synthes predicatedevice. This showed that the Exsomed Wrist Plating System had ahigher bending strength and bending stiffness than the predicatedevice.Mechanical testing of the Exsomed screws' ultimate torsional strength |
and insertion and removal torque was performed. The results were compared and demonstrated that the screws did not introduce new issues of safety or effectiveness with respect to insertion and removal torque. Engineering analysis of torsional strength, bending strength and resistance to pullout was conducted on the Exsomed screws and predicate device screws. The results demonstrated that the Exsomed screws do not introduce a new worst case with respect to bending stress, torsional stress and resistance to axial pullout when compared to the predicate devices.
- Conclusion: Based upon comparisons against the predicate devices, Exsomed concludes that the Wrist Plating System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices.
§ 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.
