The iFuse TORQ Implant System is indicated for sacroiliac joint fusion for:
· Sacroiliac joint dysfunction including sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis.
· Augmenting immobilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelyic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion.
The iFuse TORQ Implant System is also indicated for fracture fixation of the pelvis, including acute, non-acute and nontraumatic fractures.
The iFuse TORQ Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse TORQ Implant System to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in iFuse TORQ Implant System procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra, can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse TORO Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.
The iFuse TORQ Implant System consists of the iFuse-TORQ Implants and associated Instruments. consists of threaded, fenestrated, cannulated, 3D-printed implants and associated instruments. Implants are constructed from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001). The implants are fully threaded or with a lag design and provided with optional washers. The washers are intended to add additional support under the head of the screw in situations where the bone quality is poor. The cannulated implants are compatible with off-theshelf 3.2 mm guidewires. The implants, available in various lengths and diameters, allow for packing of autograft and allograft materials.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the iFuse TORQ® Implant System, which is a medical device. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way a diagnostic AI device or certain novel therapeutic devices might.
Therefore, the document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, performance studies (like MRMC or standalone AI performance), test set characteristics, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or training set details.
The "PERFORMANCE DATA" section (VII) simply states: "An assessment of applicable performance data demonstrated that the subject device and its predicates are substantially equivalent." This typically refers to mechanical testing, biocompatibility, and other engineering performance tests relevant to the physical implant, rather than clinical performance metrics in the context of diagnostic accuracy.
In summary, the information requested in your prompt is not available in the provided FDA 510(k) submission document.
§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
