This bone fixation screw is intended for human implantation into prepared bone during orthopedic surgery when the surgeon determines the need for additional fixation (example: fixation of acetabular cup in total hip replacement, fracture fixation, tibial tray fixation, etc.). There is a broad spectrum of uses for this device and the specific use should be determined by the surgeon using sound medical judgment.
The Whiteside Biomachanics Cancellous Bone Screw is a self-tapping screw. The head of the screw has a standard (3.5mm) hexagonal socket drive and the underside is radiused (0.172") to fit a ballnose countersunk hole (0.344"). The thread is generally a helical spiral about the screw's longitudinal axis and has a large outer diameter (6.5mm) designed to affix in healthy cancellous bone.
The provided text describes a medical device, the "Whiteside Biomechanics Cancellous Bone Screw," and its intended use. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or comparative effectiveness studies.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as this information is absent from the provided input.
To answer your request, I would need a document that details:
- Specific performance metrics for the screw (e.g., pull-out strength, torque to failure, bending stiffness).
- Acceptance thresholds for these metrics.
- Results from mechanical testing or in vivo/in vitro studies.
- Details on the methodology, sample sizes, ground truth, and expert involvement for any such studies.
§ 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.
