Device Description

The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is an orthopedic implant made of poly (L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) (PLDLA) reinforced with continuous mineral fibers. The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws are cannulated and fully threaded, available in diameters ranging from 6 to 12 mm and lengths from 23 to 28 mm. The polymer content degrades by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the body. The fibers are made from minerals that are found in natural bone. As the OSSIOfiber® implants degrade, the load transfers to the surrounding anatomy throughout the healing period of the implantation site. Substantial degradation takes place within approximately 18 months as shown in pre-clinical studies, thus eliminating the requirement for future hardware removal surgery.

The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is supplied sterile, for single patient use only.

The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is designed to be used with commonly available orthopedic surgical tools such as ISO 9714 compatible instrumentation such as ISO 9714 compatible instrumentations.

AI/ML Overview

This document does not describe a study that uses AI or machine learning. It describes a medical device called the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw and its clearance through the FDA 510(k) process. This process focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, primarily through non-clinical (laboratory/mechanical) testing rather than clinical studies with human subjects or AI performance evaluations.

Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/ML study acceptance criteria and performance data cannot be filled from the provided text.

Here's an analysis of what information can be extracted or inferred from the text related to the device's acceptance criteria and study, with explanations for the missing AI/ML specific data:

Device: OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided 510(k) clearance letter does not specify explicit numerical acceptance criteria in the typical format (e.g., "pull-out strength > X N"). Instead, it states that the device was found to be "at least as safe and effective" and demonstrated "at least equivalent performance" to the predicate devices. The performance is assessed comparatively.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (vs. Primary Predicate K202535)
Pull-out strength (initial)Demonstrates "at least equivalent performance" compared to the primary predicate.
Pull-out strength (after in-vitro degradation)Demonstrates "at least equivalent performance" compared to the primary predicate.
In-vitro degradation profileCharacterized and is consistent with the degradation mechanism of the material.
Torsional strength (initial)Conducted for the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws (comparison to predicate not explicitly detailed but implied to meet equivalence).
Driving torque (initial)Conducted for the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws (comparison to predicate not explicitly detailed but implied to meet equivalence).
BiocompatibilityEstablished based on referenced ISO 10993 data from previously cleared OSSIOfiber® devices and a rationale.
Intended UseSame as primary predicate.
Principles of OperationSame as primary predicate.
Indications for UseSimilar to predicate devices, with identical indications to the primary predicate except for slightly different wording on knee repairs, and additional indications for pediatric patients (which are supported by design, materials, and performance).
Material CompositionSimilar to predicate devices (PLDLA reinforced with continuous mineral fibers).
Design CharacteristicsSimilar to predicate devices (cannulated, fully threaded, various diameters/lengths).
Manufacturing MethodsSame as reference devices.
Sterilization MethodsSame as reference devices (EtO).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "Pull-out testing," "Torsional strength," and "driving torque testing" but does not provide the number of samples tested for each.
  • Data Provenance: The studies are "non-clinical data" and "in-vitro degradation." This implies laboratory testing rather than human clinical data. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the submitter is "Ossio Ltd." in Caesarea, Israel. The studies are prospective in the sense that they were conducted for the purpose of this 510(k) submission, not gathered retrospectively from patient treatments.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

Not applicable. This information is relevant for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., image analysis by radiologists). The described studies are non-clinical (mechanical and biocompatibility testing). Ground truth in this context would be defined by standard engineering and biocompatibility testing protocols, not expert consensus.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No adjudication method is described because the studies are non-clinical engineering tests.

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 is a medical device clearance based on non-clinical performance and substantial equivalence, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive software. There is no AI component described.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This section is for AI/ML algorithms. No such algorithm is described.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For mechanical testing (pull-out, torsional strength, driving torque): The "ground truth" is established by direct physical measurement according to validated test methods and engineering standards. The performance of the predicate device serves as the benchmark for comparison.

For biocompatibility: Ground truth is established by the results of ISO 10993 testing, which uses established biological endpoints and criteria.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is for AI/ML studies. No training set is mentioned as there is no AI/ML component.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. This is for AI/ML studies.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws have the same intended use, and principles of operation, and similar indications for use, material composition and design characteristics as the predicate devices (K202535, K240441). The indications of the subject device are identical to the primary predicate (K202535), except slightly different wording relating to the repair/reconstruction of the knee, which is similar to the wording of the additional predicate (K240441). The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws include indications for use in pediatric patients, which are not present in the predicate device (K202535, K240441). The difference in the identified patient population does not alter the intended use, as the design, materials, and performance characteristics are appropriate for both adult and pediatric applications. The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws have identical intended use, material composition, principles of operation, manufacturing and sterilization methods (sterilized by EtO), and similar indications for use as their reference devices (K251309, K243760). The material, manufacturing and sterilization methods of the subject device are also the same as that of the cleared K231272 reference device. The OSSIOfiber® subject devices are available in sizes appropriate for the children and adolescents patient population. Although there are slight design and material differences compared to the primary predicate, mechanical testing demonstrated at least equivalent performance both initially and after in-vitro degradation. Thus, any differences between the subject devices and their predicates do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Non-Clinical Data

Pull-out testing was performed to verify the strength and fixation properties of the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws, and to compare them to those of the primary predicate device (K202535). Testing was done initially

Page 7

and following in-vitro degradation. The in-vitro degradation profile was characterized. Torsional strength and driving torque testing at time zero were also conducted for the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screws.

Biocompatibility for the subject device was established primarily based on the referenced ISO 10993 data from the previously cleared reference devices (K231272, K251309, K243760) and a rationale.

Conclusions

The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is as safe and effective as its primary predicate device, Arthrex FastThread Interference Screw (K202535). The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw have the same intended use, and principles of operation, and similar indications for use, material composition and design characteristics as the predicate devices. The OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw have identical intended use, material composition, principles of operation, manufacturing and sterilization methods (sterilized by EtO), and similar indications for use as their reference devices (K251309, K243760). Any minor differences do not alter the intended surgical use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Non-clinical testing data demonstrate that the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is at least as safe and effective as the primary predicate device. Thus, the OSSIOfiber® Interference Screw is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
