Device Description

TMC Compression Implant System is comprised of staple implants and related instrumentation for implantation. The implants are offered in multiple combinations of bridge lengths, leg lengths, cross sections, and cannulated versions to accommodate various anatomies. This includes two (2x1) or four (2x2, 4x1) legged implants. It also includes locking screws for additional fixation. All implantable components are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V-ELI) per ASTM F136 and are provided sterile by gamma irradiation.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "TMC Compression Implant System," primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices for a physical medical device (bone fixation implants). It does not describe a study involving an AI or software-based device that would require the detailed acceptance criteria and performance study information typically requested for AI/ML-based medical devices.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to answer your prompt, such as:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance: This document does not present performance data in this format for AI/ML metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). It discusses mechanical testing for the implants.
  • Sample size for the test set and data provenance: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML study.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications: Not applicable.
  • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable.
  • Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not applicable.
  • Type of ground truth used: Not applicable for AI/ML ground truth; it refers to mechanical testing standards for implants.
  • Sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document states the following regarding performance testing for the physical device:

  • Acceptance Criteria Mentioned (Implicit for Mechanical Testing): "The analysis demonstrated that the subject devices met all acceptance criteria..." This refers to mechanical performance criteria outlined in the standards, specifically:
    • ASTM F564-17 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Staples for dynamic fatigue strength (four-point bending test, Annex A1)
    • ASTM F564-17 for pull-out strength (Annex A2)
    • ASTM F543-17 for the added screw options.
  • Reported Device Performance: The document only states that the devices met these acceptance criteria, rather than providing specific numerical performance results. It concludes that the devices are "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices based on these tests and other factors (materials, design, intended use).
  • Study Type: Mechanical testing.
  • Ground Truth: The "ground truth" in this context is the performance standard established by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for metallic bone staples and screws.
  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the number of implants tested, but rather refers to meeting the requirements of the ASTM standards.

In summary, this document describes a traditional medical device submission for physical implants, not an AI/ML-driven device. The elements you're asking for are specific to the validation of AI/ML algorithms and are not present in this regulatory submission for the TMC Compression Implant System.

TMC Compression Implant System Special 510(k) Premarket Notification

The changes described within this submission do not impact reprocessing, sterility, shelf-life, and biocompatibility considerations in comparison to the predicate device. The software, cybersecurity, EMC, and wireless technology sections are not applicable to the subject device.

The added locking bone screw options to the TMC Compression Implant System were previously cleared under the TMC Plating System.

Indications for Use:

The system is intended to be used for fracture fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the foot and ankle.

Substantial Equivalence:

The subject TMC Compression Implant System is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:

  • Primary Predicate: TMC Compression Implant System (K232387, S.E. 08/28/2023) ●
  • . Additional Predicate: TMC Plating System (K240173, S.E. 02/22/2024)
  • Additional Predicate: Restore Bunion Correction System (K131061, S.E. 08/28/2013) .

The subject compression implants are intended to be used for fracture fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the foot and ankle, identical or similar to the predicate devices. Additionally, the subject compression implants are manufactured using wrought titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V-ELI per ASTM F136 and Type II anodized identical to the primary and TMC Plating System additional predicate devices.

The subject device modifications includes the introduction of additional four (4) tine staples and associated instrumentation for implantation to the TMC Compression Implant System. These added compression implants have the capability to accept TMC locking screws for further fixation. Additional modifications include updates to the bridge geometry, tine profile, and tine locations (4 tine staple only). The 2x1 staple design remains unchanged.

The subject devices share similar materials, geometry, construction, packaging, overall design, and performance with the predicate devices. Thus, it can be concluded that the subject devices do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness and are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Performance Testing:

A mechanical analysis per ASTM F564-17 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Staples was used to evaluate the dynamic fatigue strength of the subject staples using a four-point bending test (Annex A1) and pull-out strength (Annex A2) to the previously tested primary predicate devices. The analysis demonstrated that the subject devices met all acceptance criteria and therefore are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices. The added screw options to the TMC Compression Implant System were previously evaluated per ASTM F543-17.
