AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text only contains basic descriptive and classification information about a medical device called "Humerus Wires." It is a 510(k) summary from 1996 for a fixation wire.

The document does not contain any information about:

  • Acceptance criteria for performance.
  • A study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
  • Reported device performance metrics.
  • Sample sizes for test sets.
  • Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  • Adjudication methods.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  • Standalone algorithm performance studies.
  • Types of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for this specific document. This document is related to regulatory clearance (510(k)) and focuses on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not detailed performance studies or AI-related metrics.
