Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the NCB® Polyaxial Locking Plate System and related devices.
Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary, this submission is for a medical device (bone fixation plates), not an AI/software device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/software performance metrics, ground truth, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies are not applicable.
This document describes a substantial equivalence submission for metal bone fixation implants. The "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in this context refer to mechanical, material, and biocompatibility testing results, not AI model performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or F1-score.
The document states that "Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this device," and the substantial equivalence determination relies on comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices, along with non-clinical performance testing.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a mechanical medical device, the "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by recognized standards for mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and sterilization. The "reported device performance" would be the results of testing against those standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Test/Standard (Example) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from document) |
|---|---|---|
| Material Properties | ISO 5832-3, ASTM F136 (Ti-6Al-4V) | Materials are "identical" to predicate devices, made from specified titanium alloys and stainless steel. Properties are presumed to meet standards. |
| Mechanical Performance | (Implied by equivalence to predicate) | "same operating principle, incorporate the same basic design... performance data and analyses demonstrate that any differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness." (Mechanical testing likely performed but not detailed in this summary). |
| Biocompatibility | (Implied by equivalence to predicate) | "manufactured and sterilized using the same materials and processes as the predicate devices." (Biocompatibility of materials is established for predicates). |
| MR Compatibility | ASTM F2503-20, ASTM F2119-07R13, ASTM F2213-17, ASTM F2052-21, ASTM F2182-19E02 | Evaluation performed to support MR Conditional labeling. Specific results (e.g., maximum temperature rise, artifact size) are not detailed in this summary but are implied to be within acceptable limits as the device is cleared. |
| Sterilization | (Implied by equivalence to predicate) | "manufactured and sterilized using the same materials and processes as the predicate devices." (Sterilization validation presumed). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This is not applicable as this is a medical device (bone plate) and not an AI/software device with a "test set" in the computational sense. The "testing" refers to non-clinical mechanical and material tests. No patient data or clinical studies are mentioned.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. "Ground truth" in the context of AI models does not apply to this type of device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This device is not an AI product.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a passive mechanical implant, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
Not applicable. For a mechanical device, performance is evaluated against engineering specifications and industry standards, not "ground truth" derived from expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the way an AI system is evaluated.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device does not use a training set as it is not an AI/machine learning product.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.
