These tests typically involve a predetermined number of test specimens according to the respective ASTM standards to ensure statistical validity.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data for an AI device. The data provenance here refers to the source of the physical test specimens (manufactured according to specifications) and the laboratory where the tests were conducted (implied to be in-house or by a certified testing facility).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- This question is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical engineering tests for a physical device, not an AI/software device requiring expert ground truth for image or data interpretation. Performance is assessed against engineering standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) refer to clinical expert consensus for ground truth establishment in studies involving human interpretation, which is not relevant to the non-clinical testing of this physical device. The "adjudication" in this context would be the interpretation and approval of test results against the specified ASTM standards by qualified engineers and regulatory specialists.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

The Acumed Wrist Fixation System is a new system designed for distal radius and ulna fracture fixation. The system is comprised of plates, screws, and instruments designed for aid in implantation of the distal. The intended use of The Acumed Wrist Fixation System is to provide fixation of fractures, fusions, osteotomies, and nonunions of the distal radius and ulna. The implants are manufactured from Titanium Alloy per ASTM F136-13(2021)e1 and Cobalt Chrome per ASTM F1537-20. The implants are provided sterile and non-sterile and are for single use.
This FDA 510(k) clearance letter is for a device, the Acumed Wrist Fixation System, which comprises plates and screws, not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, and AI-specific metrics (like MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for training sets, or expert qualifications for test sets) is not applicable to this document.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technological comparison, material safety, and mechanical performance testing, rather than studies involving human readers or AI algorithms.
Here's a breakdown of why this document does not contain the requested information:
- Device Type: This is a physical orthopedic implant (plates and screws), not a software or AI-driven diagnostic or therapeutic device.
- Acceptance Criteria/Performance: The "acceptance criteria" for such a device are typically defined by engineering standards (e.g., ASTM standards for mechanical properties, material biocompatibility), and the "performance" refers to how the device meets these physical and mechanical benchmarks. The document lists the specific ASTM standards used for testing (e.g., F382-24 for bone plates, F543-23 for bone screws) and states that "all generated passing results." However, it does not provide specific numerical criteria or reported values in a table as requested for AI performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity).
- Study Design (Test Set, Data Provenance, Experts, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone): These concepts are fundamentally linked to evaluating AI algorithms for diagnostic or prognostic purposes, which involve processing data (images, signals) and making predictions that need to be compared against a human-established ground truth. Since this is a physical implant, these types of studies are not relevant.
- Ground Truth Type: For a physical implant, the "ground truth" relates to its material properties, biocompatibility, and mechanical integrity, which are assessed through engineering tests, not expert consensus on medical findings or pathology.
- Training Set Size/Ground Truth for Training: These are exclusively relevant to machine learning models, where a dataset is used to train the algorithm. A physical device does not have a "training set."
Summary of available information relevant to "studies" for this device:
-
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
- Acceptance Criteria Basis: Compliance with various ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards and FDA Guidance Documents for orthopedic fracture fixation devices.

- ASTM F543-23: Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws (for torsional strength, driving torque, and theoretical axial pullout strength calculation of screws).
- ASTM F384-17: Standard Specifications and Test Methods for Metallic Angled Orthopedic Fracture Fixation Devices (for single-cycle bend testing of pegs).
- ASTM F3044-20: Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Potential for Galvanic Corrosion for Medical Implants (for corrosion testing).
- ASTM F2052, F2213, F2182, F2119: Standards for MR safety evaluations (magnetically induced force, torque, radio frequency induced heating, and image artifact evaluations).
- Reported Device Performance: The document states that evaluations "have all generated passing results," indicating conformity to the specified standards and guidance documents. Specific numerical performance data (e.g., exact bending strength values, torque values) are not provided in this summary but would be detailed in the full submission.
-
Sample Size/Data Provenance for Test Set:
- Not applicable as this involves mechanical and material testing, not data analysis on a "test set" in the AI sense. The "samples" would be physical devices tested according to engineering protocols.
-
Number of Experts/Qualifications for Ground Truth:
- Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical testing is established by adherence to standardized testing protocols and measurement science, not expert clinical consensus.
-
Adjudication Method:
- Not applicable.
-
MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study:

The non-absorbable suture anchors are intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures.
The CONMED Argo Knotless® Anchor may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization throughout the healing period.
The CONMED Argo Knotless® Anchor is an implantable bone anchor, that is supplied single use, sterilized via ethylene oxide (ETO) to a SAL of 10-6. The threaded anchor and the suture eyelet are manufactured of PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) material. Each size features a single use driver, a threaded anchor, suture eyelet, a 1.0mm UHMWPE Hi-FiTM, non-absorbable retention suture, and loader tab. The retention suture holds the PEEK eyelet in place on the driver and can be incorporated into the repair if desired. A maximum of six (6) Hi-Fi #2 suture, or 1.3mm Hi-Fi ribbon suture, or (2) two limbs of Hi-Fi tape, or one (1) bioresorbable reinforced implant can be threaded through the eyelet. The repair sutures are then tensioned and cleated on the driver cleat, if deemed necessary by the surgeon. These anchor configurations require a pre-prepared bone hole which can be created with Class I, Exempt instrumentation.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific non-clinical test. The testing was non-clinical, indicating that it involved laboratory-based evaluations of the device's physical and mechanical properties, not human or animal subjects. Therefore, the concept of "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective or prospective" is not directly applicable in the same way it would be for a clinical study involving patients. The data provenance is from laboratory testing conducted by or for Acumed LLC.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable as the study was non-clinical testing of the device's physical and mechanical properties. "Ground truth" in the context of expert review typically refers to clinical diagnosis or evaluation, which was not the nature of these tests. Standards like ASTM and ISO set the "ground truth" or performance benchmarks through established methodologies and consensus from experts in materials science, engineering, and medical device safety.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The "device" in this context is a physical medical implant (a bone screw system), not a software or AI-powered diagnostic/analytic tool. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML device performance metrics (such as acceptance criteria for AI algorithms, sample sizes for test sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training sets, etc.) are not applicable to this document.
The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to the engineering and material performance of the physical screw system, through non-clinical bench testing.
However, to directly answer your request based on the provided text, and to clarify that the nature of the device means many of your specific questions are not relevant, here's what can be extracted:
Device: Acumed Acutrak 3 Headless Compression Screw System
Type of Device: Physical medical implant (bone screw system)
Study Focus: Non-clinical (bench) testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices and ensure safety and performance of the physical screw system.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document lists the non-clinical tests performed, implying that the device "passed" or "met" the performance requirements for these tests to be deemed substantially equivalent. The specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., minimum torsional yield strength in Nm) and reported performance values for each test are not explicitly provided in this summary. They would typically be in the full submission, but not in the public 510(k) summary.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Test Type) | Reported Device Performance (Implied Result) |

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the summary. For mechanical tests like these, sample sizes are typically determined by the relevant ASTM standards or internal validation protocols.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but assumed to be from laboratory testing related to the manufacturer (Acumed LLC, based in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States). These are laboratory bench tests, not clinical data from patients. The terms "retrospective" or "prospective" are not applicable to this type of device testing.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This question is not applicable. Ground truth, in the sense of expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes, is not established for this type of non-clinical, mechanical device testing. The "ground truth" for these tests are the objective measurements against
established engineering and material science standards (e.g., precise force measurements, torque values, etc.).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for cases where human experts interpret data (e.g., medical images) to establish a ground truth. For mechanical testing of a medical implant, the results are measured directly against predefined engineering and material standards.
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:
This question is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the performance of AI-assisted diagnostic aids where human readers are involved in interpreting medical cases. This device is a surgical implant, not an AI diagnostic tool. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not necessary."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This question is not applicable. This device is a physical screw, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The "ground truth" for this type of device testing relies on adherence to international and national engineering standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO) for material properties and mechanical performance.

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML specific criteria (such as effect size of AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance, training set details, and expert ground truth establishment for AI) are not applicable.
The acceptance criteria and studies described in this document relate to the safety and performance of the Acumed Acutrak System and Acumed Acutrak 2 System, which are metallic bone fixation fasteners.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily by proving that the subject devices meet established mechanical and MR safety standards. The "acceptance criteria" are the thresholds or performance requirements defined by these standards, and "reported device performance" indicates that the devices met these criteria.
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Test/Standard | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|---|
MR Conditional Safety | Magnetically induced displacement force | Per ASTM F2052 (within safe limits) | Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria. |
Magnetically induced torque | Per ASTM F2213 (within safe limits) | Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria. | |
Radiofrequency (RF) induced heating | Per ASTM F2182 (within safe limits) | Devices are not adversely affected; meet criteria. | |
MR image artifact | Per ASTM F2119 (acceptable artifact levels for diagnostic utility) | Acceptable image artifacts; meet criteria. | |
Marking for MR Safety | Per ASTM F2503 | Device is appropriately marked for MR environment. | |
Mechanical Performance | Torsional Yield Strength | Per ASTM F543-17 | Passed acceptance criteria; demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to predicate screws. |

Axial Pullout Force | Per ASTM F543-17 | Passed acceptance criteria; demonstrated substantially equivalent mechanical performance to predicate screws. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes used for each physical and mechanical test (e.g., number of screws tested for torsional yield strength). However, the testing was conducted on samples of the Acutrak and Acutrak 2 screws, comparing them to relevant predicate screws.
- Test Set: Acutrak and Acutrak 2 Screw Systems.
- Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests conducted in accordance with recognized industry standards (ASTM standards). The origin of individual samples is not specified beyond being manufacturing products of Acumed LLC. The data is prospective, generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device, and its performance is evaluated against engineering and safety standards (e.g., MR safety, mechanical strength), not against expert interpretations of a test set in the way an AI/ML device would be evaluated (e.g., image interpretation).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The tests are objective, laboratory-based measurements against defined physical/engineering standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No. This is not an AI/ML device, so an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For this device, "ground truth" is established by:
- Established Engineering Standards: Compliance with ASTM standards (e.g., F2052, F2213, F2182, F2119, F2503 for MR safety; F543-17 for mechanical performance). These standards define acceptable performance metrics based on engineering principles and industry consensus.
- Predicate Device Performance: The mechanical performance of the subject devices was compared to existing legally marketed predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, implying that the performance of the predicate devices serves as a benchmark for "ground truth" in terms of acceptable and safe mechanical characteristics.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System is intended as an adjunct in fracture repair involving metaphyseal and periarticular small bone fragments where screws are not indicated, and as an adjunct in external and intramedullary fixation systems involving plates and rods, with fracture braces and casting.
Specifically, the Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of syndesmosis disruptions) in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures.
The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma.
The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System contains a fibula button, a tibia button and a high strength fiber suture assembled onto a driver, and is provided in a sterile kit as two options, one with and one without a drill. The system also offers optional washers in a separate sterile kit. The driver and drill are part of the sterile kits and are not available individually.
The metal implants including the buttons and washers are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti 6AL-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and the suture is manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).
I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the information required to describe the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter and a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System).
While it mentions that non-clinical bench testing was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, it does not provide:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance. It only states that static and dynamic fatigue testing was conducted and that the system performs "statistically equivalent" to the predicate. No specific performance metrics or acceptance thresholds are given.
- Sample size used for the test set or data provenance.
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
- Adjudication method.
- If an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or its effect size.
- If a standalone performance (algorithm only) was done.
- The type of ground truth used. (This device is a hardware implant, not an AI/software device, so the concept of ground truth in the context of expert consensus or pathology is not applicable here).
- Sample size for the training set. (Again, not applicable for a hardware device unless referring to development iterations, which are not detailed).
- How ground truth for the training set was established. (Not applicable).
The document mentions that "Clinical testing was not required to support substantial equivalence," which further indicates that the detailed study information you are asking for, especially related to human readers or ground truth derived from clinical data, would not be present in this submission type.
In summary, the provided text details the regulatory clearance of a physical medical device based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical bench testing, not an AI/software-based diagnosis or image analysis system that would typically involve the detailed study characteristics you've requested.

The Acumed Clavicle Hook Plating System contains pre-contoured hook plates, 3.5mm locking screws and other typical instrumentation for AC joint reduction or distal clavice fragments cases. All implants are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti 6AL-4V) per ASTM F136 and are provided both sterile and non-sterile.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Acumed Clavicle Hook Plating System. It details the device's substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on technological characteristics and non-clinical testing. Crucially, this submission does NOT describe a study involving an AI/software device whose performance needs to be proven against acceptance criteria related to accuracy or diagnostic capabilities.
The 'acceptance criteria' and 'study' mentioned in the document relate to mechanical testing of the bone fixation device (plates and screws), not to the performance of a diagnostic or AI-driven system. Therefore, I cannot extract the information required in your prompt's format, as the prompt is designed for the evaluation of AI/software as a medical device (SaMD).
Here's why and what the document does discuss:
- Device Type: The Acumed Clavicle Hook Plating System is a physical medical device (metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories), not a software or AI product.
- Purpose of Study/Testing: The "studies" described are non-clinical bench tests (mechanical tests) to ensure the device meets required strength criteria and performance for its intended use, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness.
- Acceptance Criteria Mentioned: These refer to the mechanical performance of the plates (static and dynamic bending tests per ASTM F382-17) and screws (torsion torque, pullout strength per ASTM F543-17), compared against predicate devices and FDA guidance for orthopedic metallic bone screws.
- No AI/Software: There is no mention of any AI component, image analysis, diagnostic aid, or human-in-the-loop performance evaluation in the context of AI.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about AI/software device performance, ground truth, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies, as these concepts are not relevant to the content of this 510(k) submission.
