(105 days)
AutoStrut G2 is indicated for the following treatments in adults, and in both children (3-12) and adolescents (12-21) in which growth plates have fused and will not be crossed with hardware:
- fracture fixation (open and closed)
- pseudoarthrosis of long bones
- limb lengthening (epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction)
- joint arthrodesis
- infected fractures or nonunions
- correction of bony or soft tissue deformities ●
- correction of segmental defects. ●
The AutoStrut G2 is comprised of control system, software, and six length-adjustable struts powered by a motor. The devices are used in conjunction with the DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME multi axial correction system (K161417), including all its parts and software, except that the MAXFRAME struts are substituted with the AutoStrut G2 motorized struts.
The MAXFRAME was cleared with software that generates a treatment plan for the patient, detailing how much each strut should be extended after a given amount of time. The output of this software is downloaded to the AutoStrut G2 control box which will then automatically extend the motorized struts the predetermined amount at the prespecified times. The AutoStrut G2 struts are provided in three (3) sizes, Large, Medium and Small corresponding to the MAXFRAM and should be steam sterilized by the user prior to use.
The provided text describes a medical device called AutoStrut G2 and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, AutoStrut (K191241). However, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria, reported device performance in those terms, or a study specifically designed to prove the device meets acceptance criteria related to clinical or diagnostic accuracy.
The "Performance Data" section lists various engineering and electrical safety tests, and mentions "Software characterization and validation," "Speed and accuracy evaluation," "Reliability, force and accuracy test," but does not explicitly state acceptance criteria or the results of these tests in a way that matches the requested output format.
Therefore, I cannot fully complete the table or the requested detailed information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the manner requested. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through technological characteristics and bench testing, rather than a clinical performance study with defined acceptance criteria for diagnostic or treatment effectiveness.
I will fill in what information is available and indicate when requested information is not present in the provided text.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
No specific acceptance criteria for clinical or diagnostic performance are provided in the document. The performance data section lists various engineering and safety tests, but does not detail numerical acceptance criteria or reported performance results in a table format for the device's functional or clinical effectiveness.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (AutoStrut K191241) through technological characteristics and bench testing. The "Performance Data" section lists several types of tests conducted:
| Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated in document) | Reported Device Performance (Not explicitly stated in document in this format) |
|---|---|
| Static compression (per ASTM F1541) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Static torsion (per ASTM F1541) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Static cantilever bending (per ASTM F1541) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Dynamic compression/tension (per ASTM F1541) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Electrical safety (per IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| EMC testing (per IEC 60601-1-2) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Software characterization and validation | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Sterilization validation (per ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, ISO 11737-1, ISO 11737-2) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Cytotoxicity testing (per ISO 10993-5) | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Speed and accuracy evaluation | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Reliability, force and accuracy test | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
| Corrosion Test | (Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.) |
Study Details
The provided document describes bench testing to demonstrate performance and substantial equivalence, not a clinical study to establish acceptance criteria for efficacy or diagnostic performance.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as this refers to bench testing rather than a clinical test set. The document does not specify sample sizes for the materials/devices tested in the listed engineering tests. Data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not applicable.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. The tests performed are engineering and electrical safety tests, not requiring expert ground truth for clinical interpretation.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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: No, an MRMC study was not described. The device is an external fixation system with automated struts, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation tool for human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The document mentions "Software characterization and validation" and "Speed and accuracy evaluation" for the device, which operates automatically. This implicitly confirms standalone algorithm (control system) performance testing was done, but details of this testing (acceptance criteria, results) are not provided. The device's function is to automatically extend motorized struts based on a pre-determined treatment plan (generated by separate software, mentioned as MAXFRAME software, and downloaded to the AutoStrut G2 control box).
- The type of ground truth used: For the engineering and electrical tests, the "ground truth" would be the specifications and requirements of the ASTM, IEC, and ISO standards referenced. For the "Speed and accuracy evaluation" and "Reliability, force and accuracy test," the ground truth would be the expected or target speed, accuracy, and force output of the struts.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. The document refers to bench testing and substantial equivalence, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Technological Characteristics
The AutoStrut G2 is comprised of control system, software, and six length-adjustable struts powered by a motor. The devices are used in conjunction with the DePuy Synthes MAXFRAME multi axial correction system (K161417), including all its parts and software, except that the MAXFRAME struts are substituted with the AutoStrut G2 motorized struts.
The MAXFRAME was cleared with software that generates a treatment plan for the patient, detailing how much each strut should be extended after a given amount of time. The output of this software is downloaded to the AutoStrut G2 control box which will then automatically extend the motorized struts the predetermined amount at the prespecified times. The AutoStrut G2 struts are provided in three (3) sizes, Large, Medium and Small corresponding to the MAXFRAM and should be steam sterilized by the user prior to use.
Performance Data

- · Electrical safety testing per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11
- · EMC testing per IEC 60601-1-2
- Software characterization and validation
- · Sterilization validation per ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, ISO 11737-1 and ISO 11737-2
- · Cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5
- Speed and accuracy evaluation

Substantial Equivalence
AutoStrut G2 is substantially equivalent to OrthoSpin's AutoStrut (K191241). AutoStrut G2 has the exact same indications as the AutoStrut (K191241). Furthermore, it has the same principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate AutoStrut. The primary differences between AutoStrut G2 and AutoStrut are: the motors are assembled separately from the telescopic rods, control box modifications, addition of short strut length to existing medium and long lengths, and software modification to enable more increments per day of rod expansion. In addition, the sterilization method was changed from EtO to steam sterilization by the end user.
These minor differences in the technological characteristics compared to the predicate do not raise different questions of safety or efficacy. Bench testing demonstrates that the AutoStrut G2 is as safe and effective as its predicate device.
Conclusions
The AutoStrut G2 is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
§ 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.
