Parallax Cranioset is a resinous material for repair of cranial defects.

Device Description

Parallax Cranioset is a resinous material for repair of cranial defects.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Parallax Cranioset, a methyl methacrylate for cranioplasty, does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or an analytical study. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the provided information based on your requested categories:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly list quantitative acceptance criteria with reported performance values. It states: "Performance testing demonstrated that Parallax Cranioset is substantially equivalent to Cranioplastic with regard to functional characteristics." This implies that the device met the functional characteristics of the predicate, but specific quantitative metrics are not provided.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Implied)
Functional CharacteristicsSubstantially equivalent to predicate
Material compositionSame as predicate

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify a sample size for any "test set" in the context of clinical or analytical performance. It describes "performance testing" but does not detail the methodology. There is no information on data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not provided. The study focuses on material properties and functional equivalence to a predicate device, not on diagnostic accuracy requiring expert ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not provided.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No such study was conducted or described. The device is a material for cranioplasty, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This is not applicable. The device is a medical material, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

Given the nature of the device (methyl methacrylate for cranioplasty), the "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence would likely involve established material standards and the performance characteristics of the predicate device. This would typically not involve expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the way a diagnostic device would. It would likely involve:

  • Material composition analysis: Verifying that the composition is the same as the predicate.
  • Physical and mechanical property testing: Comparing properties like tensile strength, compressive strength, setting time, biocompatibility, etc., against the predicate device and relevant standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided and is not applicable for this type of device. There is no "training set" as it is not a machine learning or AI device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Summary of the Study and Equivalence:

The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is described as "Non-clinical Test Results: Performance testing demonstrated that Parallax Cranioset is substantially equivalent to Cranioplastic with regard to functional characteristics." The basis for this equivalence is that "The materials contained within Parallax Cranioset are all materials that appear in the predicate device." This suggests a comparative study against the predicate device (Codman Cranioplastic™, Acrylic Cranioplasty Material (K873689)) for material composition and functional characteristics (e.g., mechanical properties, setting properties). The specific details of this testing (e.g., number of units tested, specific tests performed, quantitative results) are not included in this summary. The key "acceptance criterion" was achieving substantial equivalence to the legally marketed predicate device.

Re: K994022 Trade Name: Parallax Cranioset Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GXP Dated: June 21, 2000 Received: June 22, 2000

Dear Mr. Barr:

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.

AUG 3 1 2000

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 Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A 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 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 regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
