The Steinmann pins are provided non-sterile. The devices are indicated for use in fracture fixation, for healing of facile bone fragments, for osteotomies in the presence of adequate immobilization, as guide pins for insertion of other implants.
The Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is modify from our own device from K983121-Non-Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins product systm. The modify Pins are fabricated from stainless steel (SUS316L) per ASTM F138-13.The design feature for the Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is similar to the predicate devices including dimensions, shape, style and sizes.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System. It explicitly states that clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices and performance tests are not required to support substantial equivalence in special 510k.
Therefore, the provided text does not contain any information about:
- Acceptance criteria related to device performance in a clinical or non-clinical study.
- Reported device performance from such a study.
- Sample sizes used for test or training sets.
- Data provenance.
- Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for establishing ground truth.
- MRMC studies, effect sizes, or standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- How ground truth for a training set was established.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K983121 - Non-Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins product system) based on:
- Identical Intended Use and Indications for Use: The Steinmann pins are indicated for use in fracture fixation, for healing of facile bone fragments, for osteotomies in the presence of adequate immobilization, and as guide pins for insertion of other implants.
- Technological Characteristics: The modified pins are fabricated from stainless steel (SUS316L) per ASTM F138-13, and their design features (dimensions, shape, style, and sizes) are similar to the predicate devices.
- Conformance to Standards: The device was considered in conformance with dimensional and material mechanical property standards ASTM F138-13, ASTM F366-10, and ISO 5838-1.
In summary, the provided text does not describe a study involving performance testing against acceptance criteria. It's a regulatory submission demonstrating equivalence for a medical device that, due to its nature as a "Special 510(k)," did not require extensive clinical or non-clinical performance data for clearance.

Dear Nicole Tseng:
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

The Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is modify from our own device from K983121-Non-Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins product systm.
2. Intended Use
The Steinmann pins are provided non-sterile. The devices are indicated for use in fracture fixation, for healing of facile bone fragments, for osteotomies in the presence of adequate immobilization, as guide pins for insertion of other implants.
3. Technological Characteristics Comparison to Previous Device
The Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is identical to our previous cleared for market in 510(k) K983121-Non-Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins product system and essentially Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate. The indications for use for this system are patterned after the predicate devices and supported by an extensive collection of literature references.
4. Technological Characteristics:
The modify Pins are fabricated from stainless steel (SUS316L) per ASTM F138-13.The design feature for the Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is similar to the predicate devices including dimensions, shape, style and sizes.
5. Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)
*Clinical Test
Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for these devices.
*Non-Clinical Test
Performance test are not required to support substantially equivalent in special 510k. The Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System was considered for conformance to dimensional and material mechanical property standards ASTM F138-13, ASTM F366 -10 and ISO 5838-1. All items in the scope were in conformance with those standards and are therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

In addition, Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR environment. The safety of the System in the MR environment is unknown. Scanning a patient who has this device may result in patient injury.
*Conclusions
The analysis information presented in this submission demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
6. Substantial Equivalence
We believe that Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System does not add new or increased risks and complications, based on current engineering technology and clinical results published about pins as well as based on what has been previously cleared by FDA.
In conclusion, the Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System has the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation to the predicate device. Thus, the Syntec Non-Sterile Steinmann Pins System is substantially equivalent in design, configuration, function, and indications for use to the previous own device.
§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
