Intended Use

Synthes Cerclage Positioning Pin is intended for use with cerclage monofilament wire and multifilament cable to augment fracture stabilization with plates used in long bone fixation when the use of screws is contraindicated, as in the presence of intramedullary implants.

The Cerclage Positioning Pin is designed for use in dynamic compression screw holes that accept a 4.5 mm bone screw. The Cerclage Positioning Pin (and cerclage wire or cable) can be used with a variety of Synthes plates.

Device Description

The design of the cerclage positioning pin is an oval body with a hole running perpendicular to the long axis (for use in compression holes), and has a stud protruding from the bottom. By placing the post through the top of the dynamic compression screw hole into a pre-drilled hole in cortical bone a stable structure is created for cerclage wire or cable fixation. The wire or cable is passed around the bone, through the Cerclage Positioning Pin hole above the outer plate surface, and then the wire is twisted or cable is crimped for final securement.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided document, there is no information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance metrics.

The document is a 510(k) summary for the "Synthes Cerclage Positioning Pin" and primarily focuses on:

  • Device identification and classification: Name, common name, classification, and predicate device.
  • Description and intended use: How the device works and for what purpose.
  • FDA's substantial equivalence determination: The FDA's letter stating that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
  • Indications for Use statement.

This type of submission to the FDA (510(k)) aims to demonstrate that a new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. It typically relies on comparison to the predicate rather than on new, extensive performance studies with acceptance criteria as one might see for novel devices or PMAs.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or details about a study, sample sizes, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment based on the information given.

Dear Ms. Musgnung:

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 The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual reqistration, 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 requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਜੋ 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 requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements 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 requlations.
