Device Description

DRG LockJaw™ 15 Minute Intermaxillary Fixation System

AI/ML Overview

This is a scanned FDA letter for a 510k submission for the DRG LockJaw™ 15 Minute Intermaxillary Fixation System. Unfortunately, the letter does not contain the requested information (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, etc.).

The letter simply states that the FDA has reviewed the 510(k) notification and determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. It grants permission to market the device subject to general controls. The letter also includes the stated indications for use of the device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the detailed information you requested based solely on the provided text. To get this information, you would typically need to review the full 510(k) summary or submission documents, which are not included here.
