Intended Use

The Axis Plating System is indication and fixation of fractures or osteotomies, reconstruction procedures, nonunions and fusions of bones in the foot and ankle including the metatarsals, cuneiforms, cuboid, navicular, calcaneus and talus; specific examples include: medial and lateral column fusion resulting from neuropathy (Charcot).

Device Description

The Axis Plating System is a bone fixation system consisting of Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V) plates, locking and non-locking plate screws, which meet ASTM F136, and a set of instruments used for implant site preparation and delivery. The plates are available in various configurations, essentially differing by geometry and number of holes. The plate screws are provided in diameters of 3.5mm and 4.5mm in lengths from 8mm to 50mm. The System offers 4.0mm cannulated screws and beams in various lengths to be used as adjunctive fixation. The 4.0mm cannulated screws and beams can also be used with a specialized locking screw ("Post") which contains a locking feature at the distal end for compression/stabilization.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Axis Plating System, a medical device for bone fixation. It explicitly states: "No clinical testing was performed."

Therefore, based on the provided text, it's impossible to describe acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria from an AI/algorithm perspective, as no clinical study involving an AI or algorithmic component was conducted or described in this submission.

The document is about a hardware medical device (plates and screws), and its substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical testing (engineering analysis for plate and screw properties) and comparison to predicate devices, not on the performance of a diagnostic algorithm or AI.

If this was a misunderstanding and you intended to ask about the acceptance criteria and non-clinical testing specifically for the Axis Plating System (a physical device), then here's a summary of what's provided:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document doesn't provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets and results for device performance. Instead, it lists the types of non-clinical engineering analyses performed. The "performance" is implicitly deemed acceptable if these tests demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices and satisfy relevant ASTM standards (ASTM F136 mentioned for Titanium Alloy).

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Tests Performed)
Equivalence in Material PropertiesTitanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V) plates and screws meet ASTM F136
Acceptable Mechanical Performance of ScrewsScrew Engineering Analysis for: - Pullout - Torsion/bending - Torque to failure
Acceptable Mechanical Performance of PlatesPlate Engineering Analysis
Equivalence in Design, Principle of OperationComparison to predicate devices (K190365, K180808, K140792)

Regarding the other points, as they relate to an AI/algorithm study, they are not applicable to this submission:

  • 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. No clinical test set or data described.
  • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring expert ground truth.
  • 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  • 5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done...: Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic AI device.
  • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's substantial equivalence is based on engineering principles, material standards, and comparison to existing legally marketed devices.
  • 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No AI model trained.
  • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In conclusion, the provided FDA document pertains to a physical medical device (bone fixation system) and explicitly states "No clinical testing was performed" for its substantial equivalence determination. Therefore, no information regarding acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical studies involving AI or human readers can be extracted from this text.

Dear Brian Smekal:

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

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's 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 (QS) 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.

§ 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.
