AI/ML Overview

This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for ossicular replacement prostheses, not a study describing the acceptance criteria or performance of a device, particularly an AI-based device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or clinical study details from the provided text. The document is primarily administrative, confirming substantial equivalence to a predicate device and specifying indications for use.

§ 874.3450 Partial ossicular replacement prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A partial ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted for the functional reconstruction of segments of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound wave from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel, tantalum, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene with carbon fibers composite, absorbable gelatin material, porous polyethylene, or from a combination of these materials.(b)
Classification. Class II.
