The Dunamis Screws are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws indicated for use in bone reconstruction, osteotomy, arthrodesis, joint fusion, fracture repair, and fracture fixation of bone appropriate for the size of the device.
When used in conjunction with Dunamis Force DFX Suture or Suture Tape, the Dunamis Screw and Suture Locking System is intended to be used for fixation of bone-to-bone or soft tissue-to-bone. The components are intended to serve as fixation posts, a distribution bridge, or for distributing suture tension over areas of ligament or tendon repair.
Specifically, Dunamis will be offering these devices for use in orthopedic procedures, such as ACL/PCL repair and reconstruction for the adult and pediatric patient population when the device does not bridge, disrupt, or interfere with the growth plate; MCL, POL, LCL repair and reconstruction; IBT and PRT repair; and MPFL, ALL, Quadriceps Tendon, PLC repair and reconstruction. When used in conjunction with the Dunamis Screws, the Suture Locking System can be used as a cerclage to treat bone fractures, such as patella, greater tuberosity, or olecranon fractures.
The Dunamis Screw and Suture Locking System is to be used for fixation of bone-to-bone or soft tissue-to-bone, and is intended as fixation posts, a distribution bridge, or for distributing suture tension over areas of ligament or tendon repair. The devices are intended to be used in the adult or pediatric patient population, when the device does not bridge, disrupt, or interfere with the growth plate.
The Dunamis Screw and Suture Locking System consists of standalone bone screws, and various components which are compatible with previously cleared Dunamis Fixation Button System, Force DFX sutures and suture tapes, including: screws with suture locking features and suture wheel with various adapter options. The standalone screws are provided in various diameters, lengths, and configurations including headed and headless styles with various overall and threaded lengths. Screws with suture locking features are available in various diameters, lengths, and configurations. The suture wheel is available for standalone use with sutures or for use with compatible orthopedic plates with two adapter options (threaded or non-threaded post). The new components are manufactured from stainless steel and titanium alloy.
This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called the "Dunamis Screw and Suture Locking System." It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than proving a specific novel clinical performance or effectiveness through a clinical trial with acceptance criteria for an AI or software-based medical device.
Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, AI performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment for AI/software would not be applicable to this type of traditional medical device clearance.
The clearance letter primarily discusses:
- Intended Use and Indications: For bone reconstruction, osteotomy, arthrodesis, joint fusion, fracture repair, and fracture fixation.
- Device Description: Consists of standalone bone screws and components compatible with previously cleared Dunamis systems, manufactured from stainless steel and titanium alloy.
- Predicate Devices: Several predicate devices are listed, including screws and suture systems.
- Performance Testing Summary: "Non-clinical performance data included ASTM F543 screw testing, static and dynamic construct testing, and engineering worst-case rationales." This indicates bench testing to demonstrate mechanical performance comparable to the predicates.
- Substantial Equivalence Conclusion: The device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and similar materials to the predicate devices. Mechanical testing demonstrated substantially equivalent performance.
In summary, this 510(k) clearance is for a physical orthopedic implant system, not a software or AI-based medical device. The "acceptance criteria" here are met through demonstrating mechanical properties and performance that are substantially equivalent to already cleared devices, primarily via non-clinical bench testing.
Thus, a table of acceptance criteria for AI performance, details on test/training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or specific AI ground truth establishment methods are not present and not relevant to this 510(k) submission as described.
§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
