The Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as guide pins for insertion of other implantation through the skin so that traction may be applied to the skeletal system.
This system consists of sterile, smooth and threaded Kirschner wires (K-wires) and Steinmann pins ranging in length from 4 to 9 inches and ranging in diameter from 0.028 to 0.188 inches. All of the K-wires and Steinmann pins except the 6" K-wires are available with four point style options: trocar, bayonet, double end trocar and double end bayonet. The 6" K-wires are available with double end trocar points. All of the K-wires and Steinmann pins are manufactured from 316 LVM stainless steel.
This 510(k) summary describes a medical device, "Sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins," which are bone fixation fasteners. The summary focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (DePuy Non-sterile Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins) based on design, sizes, material, and intended use. The primary difference highlighted is the sterility of the submitted device.
However, the provided text does not contain any information regarding:
- Acceptance criteria in tabular format or otherwise.
- The reported device performance against any criteria.
- Details about a study conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria.
- Sample sizes for test or training sets.
- Data provenance.
- Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication methods.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or their effect sizes.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- The type or establishment method of ground truth for any set.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the provided input. The document is solely a 510(k) summary for substantial equivalence, not a performance study report.
§ 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.
