AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

Summary of Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for EVOS Straight Proximal Humerus 7-15 hole Plates (137-225mm)

Based on the provided document, the device described is a bone fixation plate, not an AI or diagnostic device. Therefore, the typical "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" metrics associated with AI-powered diagnostic tools (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.) are not applicable here. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for this type of medical device relate to substantial equivalence to a predicate device, demonstrated through engineering analysis, material properties, and performance testing relevant to mechanical functionality and biocompatibility.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implicit from document)Reported Device Performance
Substantial EquivalenceEquivalence in intended use, indications for use, design, material, and performance characteristics to predicate device.The subject device is deemed "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices (K173293) based on engineering analysis.
Biocompatibility/SafetyAcceptable endotoxin limits.Bacterial endotoxin testing was completed and met the acceptable endotoxin limits as stated in relevant FDA guidance and standards (ANSI/AAMI ST72).
Mechanical PerformanceMechanical performance comparable to predicate device.An engineering analysis (specifically, a finite element analysis, as mentioned in the conclusion) was conducted, and its review indicates substantial equivalence in performance to the predicate devices.

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of an engineering analysis of a bone plate. There isn't a "test set" of patient data or images in the way an AI study would have. The "testing" refers to mechanical and material characterization of the device itself.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" comes from engineering analysis and laboratory testing of the device, not from patient populations.

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

  • Not applicable. The "ground truth" for a mechanical device is established through engineering principles, material science, and regulatory standards, not expert consensus on patient cases.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. There is no "test set" requiring adjudication in this context.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is for evaluating human performance, often in diagnostic tasks, with and without AI assistance. This document describes a medical implant.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical bone plate, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For mechanical performance: The "ground truth" is based on established engineering principles, material properties, and validated computational models (finite element analysis). Compliance with validated engineering standards and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device forms the basis of performance evaluation.
  • For biocompatibility: The "ground truth" is defined by established regulatory limits for endotoxins as detailed in FDA guidance and ANSI/AAMI ST72.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of medical device.

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

  • Not applicable.

§ 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.
