AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the ULTIMAX™ Cortical Bone Screws. It states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Therefore, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria. Such information would typically be found in the 510(k) submission itself, not the clearance letter.

To fully answer your request, I would need access to the actual 510(k) submission for K990513, which is not provided in your input.

Based on the provided text, I can only state that the document does not contain the information requested in your bulleted list.

§ 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.
