The KLS Martin Ixos system is indicated for use in forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. This system is intended for adults, as well as adolescents (12-21 years) and children (2-12 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by fixation.
The KLS Martin Ixos System consists of metallic plates used in conjunction with bone screws and locking pins intended for the internal fixation, alignment, stabilization, and reconstruction of the distal radius and/or ulna. Plates are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V and are available in various shapes and dimensions. The system also includes the necessary instruments to facilitate placement of the implants. The manufacturing process, sterilization methods, materials and packaging are identical to those of the cleared predicate device, KLS Martin LINOS Wrist System (K222624).
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the KLS Martin Ixos System does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria for an AI/software device.
This document describes a metallic bone fixation appliance, not a software or AI medical device. The "Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions" section explicitly states "Clinical Performance Data: Not Applicable" and details mechanical performance testing (in accordance with ASTM F382) and MR compatibility testing (per various ASTM standards). These are standard tests for orthopedic implants to demonstrate their static and dynamic strength, and safety in an MRI environment.
Therefore, I cannot extract the following information as it is not present in the provided text:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance (for AI/software).
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth
- Adjudication method
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The sample size for the training set
- How the ground truth for the training set was established
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate orthopedic implants based on:
- Same intended use/indications for use.
- Similar technological characteristics: manufactured from the same materials (Ti-6Al-4V), using the same manufacturing methods, and having similar principles of operation.
- Performance data: Non-clinical comparative static and dynamic mechanical performance testing against a secondary predicate (Stryker VariAx 2 distal radius plates) and MR compatibility testing.
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance for a physical medical device (bone plate system), not an AI/software device, and thus does not include the type of performance evaluation details (e.g., ground truth, reader studies, training data) relevant to AI/software.
§ 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)
