Intended Use

Traufix medical devices are intended for fixation of fractures and osteotomies of various bones including the pelvis, clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, olecranon, and fibula.

Device Description

Traufix osteosynthesis medical devices are metal implants (stainless steel per ASTM F138, or ASTM F139, or titanium-alloy per ASTM F136) fixed adjacent to the bone for the treatment and consolidation of fractures, osteotomies, and/or joint ossification. The devices include different types and sizes of plates and screws.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Traufix osteosynthesis, osteotomy, and arthrodesis devices. It states that the device has been found substantially equivalent to predicate devices and therefore does not include a separate section outlining acceptance criteria or results from a study specifically designed to demonstrate meeting those criteria.

However, it does describe the non-clinical performance testing performed to support substantial equivalence. Based on the information provided, here's a breakdown:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format with specific pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it describes comparative engineering analysis against predicate devices and adherence to ASTM/ISO standards.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Single cycle bend testing according to ASTM F382 (for plates)Performed according to ASTM F382. (Implicitly, the device performed acceptably or comparably to the predicate for substantial equivalence).
Breaking torque testing according to ISO 6475 (for screws)Performed according to ISO 6475. (Implicitly, the device performed acceptably or comparably to the predicate for substantial equivalence).
Structural properties comparison (bending stiffness, bending structural stiffness, and bending strength) per ASTM F382 A1 of subject proximal tibia plate vs. predicate proximal tibia plateEngineering analysis performed. The conclusion of substantial equivalence implies these properties were comparable and did not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
Design and dimensions comparison with predicate plates and screwsEngineering analysis and comparison of technology performed. Minor differences were found but did not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify a "sample size used for the test set" in terms of number of devices or data points beyond stating that "non-clinical testing was performed in the subject devices." Given that this is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (bone fixation appliances), the "test set" would typically refer to the specific device designs and materials tested in the non-clinical mechanical tests. The provenance is internal testing conducted by or for Fixier, S.A. de C.V. It is retrospective in the sense that the testing has already been completed to support the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This is not applicable to the non-clinical performance testing described. Ground truth is not established by human experts in the context of mechanical performance tests against engineering standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable to the non-clinical performance testing described. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or human expert review scenarios.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

This is not applicable. The device is a physical bone fixation implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was performed.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done

This is not applicable. The device is a physical bone fixation implant, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the industry standards and the properties of the legally marketed predicate devices. The testing aims to demonstrate that the subject device's mechanical properties are equivalent to or better than previously cleared devices, as measured by established ASTM and ISO standards for bend testing and torque testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. The device is a physical implant and does not involve AI or machine learning algorithms that require a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This is not applicable as there is no "training set" for this type of device submission.

Other PredicateDevices:-Synthes (USA) Modular Mini Fragment LCP System, (K063049)-Synthes (USA) Medial Distal Tibia Plates, (K001945)-Synthes Variable Angle Locking Compression Plate (VA-LCP),(K071184)-Synthes One-Third Tubular DCL Plate, (K011335)-Synthes 4.5mm LCP Straight Reconstruction Plates, (K051986)-Synthes (USA) LCP Proxima Humerus Plates, Long, (K041860)
Non-Clinical(Performance Testing):-Non-clinical testing was performed in the subject devices asfollows:-Single cycle bend testing was performed according to ASTMF382.-Breaking torque testing was performed according to ISO 6475.-Engineering analysis was performed to compare thestructural properties per ASTM F382 A1 (bending stiffness,bending structural stiffness, and bending strength) of the proximaltibia plate (subject device) and proximal tibia plate (predicatedevice one).-Engineering analysis and comparison of technology was alsoprovided to compare design and dimensions of the subject andpredicate plates and screws.
Clinical Testing:Clinical testing is not a prerequisite, as osteosynthesis, osteotomy,and arthrodesis implants conform to recognized standards and havewell established safety and performance characteristics. Therefore,clinical information is not necessary to demonstrate safety andeffectiveness or substantial equivalence.
Conclusion:The Traufix osteosynthesis, osteotomy, and arthrodesis deviceshave been found to be substantially equivalent to the predicatedevices. Differences between the subject devices and the predicatedevices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
