Intended Use

The Arthrex Pilon Fusion Plates are intended to be internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, tibia, and calcaneous.

The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (3.5mm and larger, solid) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula. When used with a plate, the screws may be used with the Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, Humeral Fracture Plates and Osteotomy Plates.

Device Description

The Arthrex Pilon Fusion Plate System are a family of contoured plates and screws. The Arthrex Pilon Fusion Plates are manufactured from Titanium conforming to ASTM F136 and are available in a variety of configurations. The Arthrex Pilon Fusion Plates are intended to be used with solid locking and non-locking Low Profile Screws. The proposed plates are sold sterile or non-sterile and single use.

The proposed Arthrex Low Profile Screws are offered in a 3.5mm diameter, length range of 85 to 120 mm, in a solid and fully threaded design. The screws are manufactured from Titanium conforming to ASTM F136 and are sold sterile or non-sterile and single-use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Arthrex Pilon Fusion System do not contain information about a study proving that a device meets acceptance criteria related to artificial intelligence (AI) or software performance.

The document describes a medical device, which is a system of plates and screws for internal bone fixation. The performance data presented refers to mechanical testing of the plates and screws (e.g., insertion torque, failure torque, 4-point bend testing, pull-out testing) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. There is also mention of MR compatibility testing.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/software device meets acceptance criteria from the provided text.

Based on the nature of the document (510(k) for orthopedic implants), it is highly unlikely to contain such information. This type of submission focuses on the physical and mechanical properties of the device, biocompatibility, and substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, not AI or software performance.

§ 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)
