Intended Use

The Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN is indicated for displaced and undisplaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures.

Device Description

The CONQUEST FN system is comprised of contoured locking bone plates and compatible locking and non-locking bone screws. The subject premarket notification describes additional sizes of the bone plates to the Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN system. The subject devices are manufactured from the same implant-grade stainless steel (316L) and designed for singleuse. They will be provided in a sterile packaged option and will be sterilized via Gamma irradiation.

AI/ML Overview

This document, K193029, is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called CONQUEST FN, specifically an additional size of the bone plate (CONQUEST FN 3 Hole Small Stature Plate). The FDA letter confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

However, the provided text does not contain information about studies involving AI or human readers, expert ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies. The acceptance criteria discussed refer to engineering and biocompatibility testing for a physical implant, not an AI/software device.

Therefore, I cannot provide a response filling in the requested information about AI device acceptance criteria and performance studies. The document describes a traditional medical device (metallic bone fixation appliance) and its mechanical and material testing.

The "Summary of Pre-Clinical Testing" section discusses:

  • Construct Fatigue Testing: This is a mechanical test to assess the device's durability under repeated stress.
  • Bacterial Endotoxin Testing: This is a biocompatibility test to ensure the device is safe from endotoxin contamination.

The acceptance criteria for these tests are described in terms of meeting specific standards and showing similar stability to the predicate device.

If your request was based on the assumption that this document detailed an AI/software device, please note that it does not.

Dear Thomas Fearnley:

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 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

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

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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Device Description

The CONQUEST FN system is comprised of contoured locking bone plates and compatible locking and non-locking bone screws. The subject premarket notification describes additional sizes of the bone plates to the Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN system. The subject devices are manufactured from the same implant-grade stainless steel (316L) and designed for singleuse. They will be provided in a sterile packaged option and will be sterilized via Gamma irradiation.

Intended Use

The Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN is intended for use in internal fixation of femoral neck fractures.

Indications for Use

The Smith & Nephew CONQUEST FN is indicated for displaced and undisplaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures.

Comparison to Technological Characteristics with Predicate Device

Device comparisons described in this premarket notification demonstrated that the proposed CONQUEST FN bone plates are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices listed below with regard to intended use, indications for use, and performance characteristics.

The subject bone plates feature characteristics very similar to the CONQUEST FN system bone plates cleared via K152686, with the primary differences being the elimination of the plate shaft and distal screw holes. All other design aspects, indications for use, intended use, material and fundamental scientific technology remain the same as those in K152686.

Conclusion

The proposed additional sizes of CONQUEST FN plates are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared CONQUEST FN plates cleared with the CONQUEST FN system in K152686 in that the indications for use and fundamental scientific technology for the subject devices are identical.

§ 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.
