Intended Use

The Valkyrie Thoracic Fixation System is intended for use in the stabilization and fixation of fractures in the chest wall including sternal reconstructive surgical procedures, trauma, or planned osteotomies. The system is intended for use in patients with normal and/or poor bone quality.

Device Description

The Valkyrie Thoracic Fixation System consists of a variety of screws and plates intended for use in the stabilization and fixation of fractures in the chest wall including sternal reconstructive surgical procedures, trauma, or planned osteotomies. The system is intended for use in patients with normal and/or poor bone quality.

To accommodate varying patient anatomy and surgeon preference, the Valkyrie Thoracic Fixation System includes screws in 3.0mm and 3.5mm diameters and lengths from 7-20mm. The system also includes various styles of plates. The Valkyrie Thoracic Fixation System plates are made from PEEK-Optima™ per ASTM F2026, and the screws are made from Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Valkyrie Thoracic Fixation System, a medical device for stabilizing and fixing chest wall fractures. It does not describe an AI/ML-based device or a study involving human readers and AI assistance for diagnostic purposes. Instead, it details mechanical, biocompatibility, and sterilization testing for a physical implantable device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device meets them, as the document pertains to a metal and PEEK-Optima™ bone fixation system and not an AI or imaging device.

To answer your request, I would need a document describing the regulatory submission for an AI/ML medical device, which would typically include details about its performance evaluation, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, and potentially multi-reader multi-case studies.

§ 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.
