AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML specific criteria (such as effect size of AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance, training set details, and expert ground truth establishment for AI) are not applicable.

The acceptance criteria and studies described in this document relate to the safety and performance of the Acumed Acutrak System and Acumed Acutrak 2 System, which are metallic bone fixation fasteners.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily by proving that the subject devices meet established mechanical and MR safety standards. The "acceptance criteria" are the thresholds or performance requirements defined by these standards, and "reported device performance" indicates that the devices met these criteria.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Test/StandardAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
MR Conditional SafetyMagnetically induced displacement forcePer ASTM F2052 (within safe limits)Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria.
Magnetically induced torquePer ASTM F2213 (within safe limits)Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria.
Radiofrequency (RF) induced heatingPer ASTM F2182 (within safe limits)Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria.
MR image artifactPer ASTM F2119 (acceptable artifact levels for diagnostic utility)Acceptable image artifacts; meet criteria.
Marking for MR SafetyPer ASTM F2503Device is appropriately marked for MR environment.
Mechanical PerformanceTorsional Yield StrengthPer ASTM F543-17Passed acceptance criteria; demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to predicate screws.
Insertion TorquePer ASTM F543-17Passed acceptance criteria; demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to predicate screws.
Axial Pullout ForcePer ASTM F543-17Passed acceptance criteria; demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to predicate screws.

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

The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes used for each physical and mechanical test (e.g., number of screws tested for torsional yield strength). However, the testing was conducted on samples of the Acutrak and Acutrak 2 screws, comparing them to relevant predicate screws.

  • Test Set: Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screw Systems.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests conducted in accordance with recognized industry standards (ASTM standards). The origin of individual samples is not specified beyond being manufacturing products of Acumed LLC. The data is prospective, generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.

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

Not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device, and its performance is evaluated against engineering and safety standards (e.g., MR safety, mechanical strength), not against expert interpretations of a test set in the way an AI/ML device would be evaluated (e.g., image interpretation).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The tests are objective, laboratory-based measurements against defined physical/engineering standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

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

No. This is not an AI/ML device, so an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For this device, "ground truth" is established by:

  • Established Engineering Standards: Compliance with ASTM standards (e.g., F2052, F2213, F2182, F2119, F2503 for MR safety; F543-17 for mechanical performance). These standards define acceptable performance metrics based on engineering principles and industry consensus.
  • Predicate Device Performance: The mechanical performance of the subject devices was compared to existing legally marketed predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, implying that the performance of the predicate devices serves as a benchmark for "ground truth" in terms of acceptable and safe mechanical characteristics.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

No modification has been made to the ilization, packaging, and the manufacturing processes of the currently marketed devices.

The Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screw Systems - MR Conditional (subject devices) are being compared to the existing on market Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screw Systems (predicate devices). Mechanical performance of Acutrak 2 screws were compared to other comparable on market screws (other predicates).

The Acumed Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screws are designed to provide fixation of various fractures and osteotomies while they heal. These

{4}------------------------------------------------

K221333 (Page 2 of 2)

systems offer screws in different diameters and lengths to suit different anatomical locations, patient size, and fracture patterns. All the screws are manufactured from Titanium alloy per ASTM F136, are single use and are provided both sterile and non-sterile.

Instruments supplied to aid in the screw insertion and are supplied sterile and/or non-sterile and most are reusable. Sterilization trays provided to house non-sterile implants and instruments.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

Acutrak Fusion, Standard and Mini, Acutrak 2 Micro, Mini, Standard, 4.7, and 5.5 screws are Intended as a fixation device for small bones, bone fragments, and osteotomies. It is not interference or soft tissue fixation.

Acutrak Plus and (4/5), (6/7) and Acutrak 2 (7.5) and Dual-Trak screws are intended for fusions, or osteotomies of the clavice, humerus, radius, ulna, ilium, femur, patella, fibula, tibia, talus, malleolus, and calcaneous.

The Acutrak Screw Systems are intended for use by surgeons with orthopedic training and techniques required for fracture fixation. The device is to be implanted by the surgeon in a sterile operating room setting.

Indications for Use Comparison

The subject devices, Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screw Systems, have the same indications for use as their corresponding predicate devices. The basis of substantial equivalence for the similarities in intended use, material, technology, operating principle, anatomical site for implantation, performance and design.

Technological Comparison

The technological characteristics, operating principles and anatomical site for implantation of the subject devices remain unchanged. Both subject and predicate devices are bone screws intended for fracture fixation of bones appropriate for their sizes. The subject and predicate screws achieve their intended use through a variety of diameters and lengths of screw size offerings.

No modification has been made to the device material, sterilization, packaging, and the manufacturing processes of the currently marketed devices.

While some differences exist in the basic shape, design and technology; however, the performance evaluation demonstrates that the subject screws are equivalent to their predicate screws.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

Non-clinical testing to support MR Conditional labeling was conducted per FDA's guidance "Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment", December 11, 2014, and the standards listed below:

  • · Magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052)
  • · Magnetically induced torque (ASTM F2213)
  • · Radiofrequency (RF) induced heating (ASTM F2182)
  • MR image artifact (ASTM F2119) include assessments of magnetically induced displacement force and torque, radio frequency (RF) heating, and image artifacts.
  • Standard Practice for Marking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance Environment (ASTM F2503)

Performance data demonstrate that the Acutrak and Acutrak 2 screws, when used in the MR environment using specified MR parameters and instructions, are not adversely affected by magnetically induced displacement force and frequency (RF) heating, and image artifacts.

Mechanical performance testing (Torsional Yield Strength, Insertion Torque, and Axial Pullout Force) was conducted on the subject screws per ASTM F543-17 (Standard Specification and Testing Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws passed acceptance criteria and demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to their corresponding predicate screws.

Clinical testing was not necessary.

Based on the results of the nonclinical testing described above, it was concluded that the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in performance specifically for the intended use, hence the subject devices were proven to be safe and effective for the indications.
