The Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) is intended to be used for internal bone fixation for bone fractures or osteotomies in the foot, such as:
- Opening wedge osteotomies of the bones of the foot including osteotomies for Hallux Valgus
- . Opening wedge of Medial Cuneiform or Cotton osteotomies
- Lateral Column Lengthening (Evans Lengthening Osteotomy or Calcaneal Z Osteotomy)
- Metatarsal/Cuneiform osteotomies
- . Nonunion of arthrodesis of the Midfoot including Metatarsal/Cuneiform osteotomies (TMT or Lapidus)
- . Hindfoot osteotomies
The device is intended for use with supplemental fixation.
The Osteotomy Truss System is not intended for use in the spine.
The Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) consists of five implant designs in a variety of footprints and implant height options to accommodate the patient's anatomy. It is intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
The device is an open architecture truss design mathematically formulated to provide structural support with open space throughout the implant for bone growth and fusion. The 4WEB additive manufacturing process provides a hierarchical surface roughness. The implant is made from Ti6Al4V alloy.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter from the FDA for the Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) by 4WEB Medical, Inc. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the typical format of a clinical study report.
Instead, it relies on non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. This is common for Class II medical devices seeking 510(k) clearance, where a new clinical study is not usually required if substantial equivalence can be shown through other means.
Therefore, the specific information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement, MRMC studies, or ground truth types derived from human data is not present in this FDA clearance letter.
However, I can extract the information provided about the performance standards the device was tested against (which, in this context, serve as the "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence through non-clinical means) and the "study" (non-clinical testing) that proves the device meets these.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Performance Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Static axial compression per ASTM F2077 | "demonstrated that the product line extension for the Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) does not introduce a new worst-case compared to the previously cleared 4WEB Osteotomy Truss System devices for mechanical properties of the device." "The results... show that the strength of the OTS Device is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices." |
| Dynamic axial compression fatigue per ASTM F2077 | "demonstrated that the product line extension for the Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) does not introduce a new worst-case compared to the previously cleared 4WEB Osteotomy Truss System devices for mechanical properties of the device." "The results... show that the strength of the OTS Device is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices." |
| Expulsion testing per ASTM F-04.25.02.02 | The document states testing was completed per this standard, implying successful adherence, but does not provide specific numerical results or direct statements of "meeting" criteria beyond the general conclusion of substantial equivalence. |
| MR image artifact per ASTM F2119 | The document states testing was completed per this standard, implying successful adherence, but does not provide specific numerical results or direct statements of "meeting" criteria beyond the general conclusion of substantial equivalence. |
| MR induced heating per ASTM F2182 | The document states testing was completed per this standard, implying successful adherence, but does not provide specific numerical results or direct statements of "meeting" criteria beyond the general conclusion of substantial equivalence. |
| MR induced torque per ASTM F2213 | The document states testing was completed per this standard, implying successful adherence, but does not provide specific numerical results or direct statements of "meeting" criteria beyond the general conclusion of substantial equivalence. |
| MR induced displacement force per ASTM F2052 | The document states testing was completed per this standard, implying successful adherence, but does not provide specific numerical results or direct statements of "meeting" criteria beyond the general conclusion of substantial equivalence. |
2. Sample Sizes used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size (Test Set): Not applicable in the context of clinical studies. The testing described is non-clinical (mechanical and MRI compatibility). The specific number of devices or test specimens used for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of implants for static compression) is not stated in this document.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the sense of country of origin for human data. These are results from laboratory/engineering bench testing.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not applicable. This document describes non-clinical engineering and laboratory testing, not human expert-driven ground truth assessment.
4. Adjudication method
- Not applicable. Adjudication relates to resolving discrepancies in human expert assessments, which is not relevant here.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
- No. An MRMC study is a clinical study involving human readers and cases, which was not performed for this 510(k) submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This device is a physical orthopedic implant, not a software algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Engineering Standards and Measurements: The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is based on the specifications and parameters defined by the ASTM standards themselves, along with established engineering principles. For example, for static compression, the ground truth is the measured force required to cause deformation or failure, compared against a predefined standard or the predicate device's performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.
Summary of what the document does communicate:
The clearance for the Osteotomy Truss System (OTS) is based on non-clinical performance testing demonstrating that the updated device does not introduce a new worst-case scenario compared to its predicate device (K220463) and is substantially equivalent. The tests performed align with recognized ASTM standards for orthopedic implants and MRI compatibility. This approach is typical for devices seeking 510(k) clearance that are similar in technology and intended use to existing cleared devices, where extensive new clinical data is not deemed necessary by the FDA.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
