AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for multiple intramedullary nailing systems, not a study describing the acceptance criteria and performance of a device, especially not one using AI or requiring human-in-the-loop performance. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for an AI/device, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance simply does not apply to this document.

The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices for various bone fixation systems. The "performance data" section refers to mechanical and material testing, not human performance or AI performance.

Here's an attempt to answer the relevant questions based only on the provided text, while acknowledging that many questions are not applicable to this type of submission.


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present acceptance criteria in a table format with corresponding device performance values as would be typical for clinical or AI-based performance studies. Instead, it states that "Comparative mechanical testing to the predicate systems demonstrated substantial equivalence." and "Mechanical testing demonstrated that the T2 Alpha Femur Retrograde Nailing System is equivalent to the predicate devices (K200880, K101622)."

The specific performance tests conducted were:

CategoryTest PerformedReported Device Performance
Mechanical PropertiesASTM F1264 (static stiffness, static strength, dynamic fatigue strength)Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate systems.
Fatigue StrengthFatigue strength testingDemonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate systems.
Structural IntegrityCut-out testingDemonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate systems.
Targeting AccuracyTargeting accuracy testing (targeting stiffness testing)Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate systems.
MR SafetyASTM F2052 (magnetically induced displacement force)MR conditional (meets specified standards).
ASTM F2213 (magnetically induced torque)MR conditional (meets specified standards).
ASTM F2182 (RF-induced heating)MR conditional (meets specified standards).
ASTM F2119 (image artifacts)MR conditional (meets specified standards).
Material/SterilityBacterial Endotoxin TestingSterile implants meet the specified endotoxin limit.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This document describes a premarket notification for a medical device (intramedullary nailing system), not an AI/software device that would typically have a "test set" of patient data. The performance data provided is mechanical and material testing. Therefore, information about patient data sample size, country of origin, or retrospective/prospective nature is not applicable. The sample sizes for the mechanical tests would be specific to each test protocol but are not detailed in this summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This question is not applicable. Manual bone fixation devices do not typically involve experts establishing "ground truth" for patient data in the same way as an AI diagnostic device. The evaluation of these devices is primarily through engineering, mechanical, and material testing against established standards and predicate devices.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This question is not applicable. There is no "test set" of patient data or clinical observations requiring adjudication for this type of device submission.

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 question is not applicable. The document is for mechanical bone fixation devices and does not involve AI or human "readers" (e.g., radiologists, pathologists). No MRMC study or AI assistance is mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. This submission is for physical medical devices (intramedullary nailing systems), not an algorithm or AI.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For mechanical testing, the "ground truth" refers to established engineering standards (e.g., ASTM F1264, F2052, F2213, F2182, F2119) and the performance characteristics of the predicate devices. The device's performance is compared against these benchmarks to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no training set or ground truth establishment method for one.
