AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about an AI device or a study proving its acceptance criteria. Instead, it is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Screw Fixation System, which is a traditional medical device (bone fixation fastener).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI device. The document describes performance testing for a non-AI medical device through bench testing in accordance with ASTM F543.

Here's the information about the acceptance criteria and study as presented in the document for the Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Screw Fixation System (a non-AI device):

Note: The specific numerical acceptance criteria and performance results are not detailed in the provided FDA clearance letter. The letter states that "Testing demonstrated that the subject screws met all acceptance criteria" and are "considered substantially equivalent to the predicate screws."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was "bench testing," meaning it was conducted in a laboratory setting, not using human or animal clinical data. The data provenance is a controlled laboratory environment.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • This information is not applicable as the testing was physical bench testing against engineering standards (ASTM F543), not expert-driven evaluation of medical data.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable for bench testing. The evaluation is based on meeting predefined engineering and performance specifications outlined in ASTM F543.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size:

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI devices or diagnostic tools where human interpretation of medical images or data is involved. The TMC Screw Fixation System is a physical implant, and its performance is evaluated through mechanical testing.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or an AI product.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance testing was adherence to established industry standards and mechanical properties as defined by ASTM F543. The device's performance was compared against the predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device.
