AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called the "Tibia and Fibula System." This type of document is submitted to the FDA to demonstrate that a new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The information required for your request (acceptance criteria and detailed study information) is typically not extensively detailed in a 510(k) summary, as the primary goal is to show equivalence.

However, based on the provided text, I can extract the following information concerning the acceptance criteria and the types of studies performed to show equivalence, rather than a detailed performance study proving efficacy against acceptance criteria. The document states that the new device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, meaning it has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and performs as safely and effectively.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria here are implicitly defined by the material and performance standards the device claims to meet, and the "reported device performance" is the statement that the device conforms to these standards and exhibits equivalent performance to the predicate devices.

Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
Product Code: HWC (Primary), HRSIdentical as predicate device
Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3030 (Primary), 21 CFR 888.3040Identical as predicate device
Regulatory Class: Class IIIdentical as predicate device
Indications for Use: Fracture treatment of Tibia and fibula boneIdentical as predicate device
Material: Titanium Alloy as per ASTM F136 and Stainless Steel as per ASTM F138.Conform to the same material standard as predicate device (specifically, SS 304 for instruments per ASTM F899-20, SS 316L for Stainless Steel Implants, and Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 for Titanium Implants per ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3, ASTM F138/ISO 5832-1)
Performance Standards: ASTM F382 and F543Identical as predicate device. Bench tests conducted to verify all design specifications and compliance with ASTM F382 (Metallic Bone Plates, including Four-Point Static Test and Four-Point Fatigue Test - Conforms) and ASTM F543 (Metallic Medical Bone Screws, including Driving Torque Test, Torsion Test, Axial Pull-out Test - Conforms). The results indicate the system is equivalent to a predicate device.
Sterilization: Gamma Sterilization Method and Non-SterileIdentical as predicate device. Compliance with ISO 11137-1, -2, -3; ISO 17665-1, -2, -3; ISO 11140-1; ISO 11737-1, -2; ISO 11607-1, -2; ASTM F1980; ASTM F88/F88M; ASTM F1929.
Shelf-life: 5 Years (For Sterilized Product)Identical as predicate device. Stability study performed to determine shelf life, following ASTM F1980, ASTM F88/F88M, and ASTM F1929.
Single Use/Reuse: Single UseIdentical as predicate device
Operating Principle: Plate fixed to bone by screwsIdentical as predicate device
Dimensional Verification: Same dimensions as predicate devicesIdentical as predicate device
Biocompatibility: Evaluated for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-3Conforms

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical studies with patients or data. The testing mentioned is bench testing on the physical devices (plates and screws). Therefore, the concept of data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) and sample size in the traditional sense of medical image analysis or clinical trials is not applicable here. The "sample" would refer to the number of devices tested in the lab, which is not detailed in this summary.


3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable to this 510(k) summary. The ground truth in this context is defined by international and national standards for material properties and mechanical performance, not by expert medical assessment of cases.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as there is no human adjudication of a test set in the methods described. The "adjudication" of performance is done by comparing test results against established engineering standards.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes bench testing for mechanical properties and material equivalence, not human reader performance with or without AI assistance.


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

No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This device is a physical medical implant (bone plate and screw system), not a software algorithm or AI device.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is based on established engineering standards (e.g., ASTM F382, ASTM F543, material standards like ASTM F136, ASTM F138, ASTM F899) and biological safety standards (e.g., ISO 10993-3 for biocompatibility, USP <85> for bacterial endotoxin). This is a technical ground truth, not a clinical one derived from pathology or outcomes data in patients.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this device is a physical implant, not a machine learning model.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable. As stated above, there is no training set for this type of device.

Dear Rahul Luthra:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

§ 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)
