Fusion Craniofacial Implant (FCI) and Fusion Skull Implant (FSI) are intended to fill a bony void or defect area in a patient's specific cranial and craniofacial skeleton (orbital rim, zygoma, and adjacent bone).
Fusion Craniofacial Implant (FCI) and Fusion Skull Implant (FSI) are individually sized and shaped implantable prosthetic plates intended to fill a bony void or defect area in a specific patient's cranial and craniofacial skeleton, ranging from 2 mm to 10 mm thick (typically 4mm thick based on the patient CT Scan imaging data) x 25mm to 250 mm wide x 25 mm to 250 mm long.
A Fusion Skull Implant (FSI) is intended to fill a bony void or defect area in a specific patient's skull, whereas a Fusion Craniofacial Implant (FCI) is intended to fill a bony void or defect area in a specific patient's facial region of the skull, excluding the Maxilla (upper jaw area surrounding the teeth only) and Mandible, both considered load bearing areas of the facial region of the skull.
The size, asymmetrical shape, thickness, contour, and edge profile are design elements of the non-load bearing patient-specific base implant. These design elements are used to support the base implant in the bony void or defect area to provide a "Precise Fit."
The single-use alterable base implant (1) is fabricated from a billet block of implant grade Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) Thermoplastic Polymer formulated with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP PEEK), using a patient's CT scan imaging data, (2) is provided clean (non-sterile) for steam sterilization prior to implantation at a hospital or surgical site, and (3) are attached to the native bone using commercially available cranioplasty hardware and fasteners.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter (K250334) addresses the marketing of the Fusion Craniofacial Implant (FCI) and Fusion Skull Implant (FSI). However, this document does not describe a study involving an AI model or a human-in-the-loop system.
The device described is a physical implant (Preformed Alterable Cranioplasty Plate) intended to fill bony voids or defects in the cranial and craniofacial skeleton. The review focuses on the substantial equivalence of this implant to previously cleared predicate devices, primarily based on material composition (a new PEEK formulation: BCP PEEK) and manufacturing processes.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies proving an AI-driven device's performance (including sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment) cannot be extracted from the provided text.
The performance data section in the document describes:
- Biocompatibility testing: Performed on the new material (Evonik Vestakeep iC4800R® BCP PEEK) according to ISO 10993 standards.
- Performance Testing: Refers to raw material certification and acceptance.
- Cleaning Validation: Conducted for previously cleared devices, and the process is identical for the subject devices.
- Steam Sterilization Validation: Conducted according to ANSI/AAMI ST79.
- Mechanical Testing Validation: A protocol developed by Kelyniam was used as there's no industry-accepted standard for non-load-bearing plates. It states that "all samples passed the acceptance criteria" and "performed equivalent to the predicate devices during mechanical testing using a worst-case scenario."
- Ship Testing Validation: Conducted for previously cleared devices, and the process is identical for the subject devices.
- Summary on Clinical Testing: States "Clinical Testing was determined not applicable" for these devices.
In summary, the provided document does not contain any information about an AI/software-based device, nor does it detail acceptance criteria or studies related to AI performance.
§ 882.5320 Preformed alterable cranioplasty plate.
(a)
Identification. A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
