Device Description

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is designed so that, by widening the "diamond", mechanical deformation leads to narrowing of the interaxis of the two legs. The surgeon can obtain a true compression, adjustable and controlled, with many choices of size.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device submission (K991482) for the UNI-CLIP® STAPLE, but it does not contain information related to acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or study details such as sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications that would be found in a clinical or analytical performance study a for AI/ML device.

The document is a 510(k) summary for a traditional medical device (a bone fixation staple) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on mechanical properties and intended use. The "Summary of Studies" section only mentions:

"Torque of divergence and strenght of compression the UNI-CLIP® STAPLE was studied and found to have a resistance to torsion in compliance with the selected standard."

This is a very general statement about a mechanical test and does not provide the detailed information requested for an acceptance criteria table or a study description as typically applied to AI/ML device evaluations.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions provided in the prompt based on the given text. The information required (e.g., acceptance criteria, reported performance values, sample sizes for test/training, ground truth methods, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies) is completely absent in this document.

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is designed so that, by DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE: widening the "diamond", mechanical deformation leads to narrowing of the interaxis of the two legs. The surgeon can obtain a true compression, adjustable and controlled, with many choices of size.

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is implanted for fixation of INTENDED USE: bone fractures or for bone reconstructions.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is indicated for:

Mono or bi-cortical osteotomies in the forefoot
Distal or proximal metatarsal osteotomies
Fusion of the first metatarsophalongeal joint and the interphalangeal joint
Fixation of the osteotomies for hallux valgus treatment (such as, Scarf, Chevron)
Akyn type Osteotomy
Arthrodesis base first metatarsal cuneiform joint to reposition and stabilize metatarsus varus primus
. Arthrodesis and osteotomy fixation in the Midfoot and Hindfoot

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is substantially equivalent to PREDICATE DEVICE: Memory Staple from DePuy, Inc.( K964226) .

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

SUMMARY OF STUDIES

Torque of divergence and strenght of compression the UNI-CLIP® STAPLE was studied and found to have a resistance to torsion in compliance with the selected standard.

Both the UNI-CLIP® STAPLE have the same intended

of use and all are indicated for fixing small fractures or

osteotomies. All are made from stainless steel.

Dear Dr. Estrin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਰ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
