The Omni Foot Plating System is a bone fixation system consisting of unalloyed Titanium plates and Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V) locking and non-locking plate screws, which meet ASTM F67 and ASTM F136, and a set of instruments used for implant site preparation and delivery. The plates are available in various configurations, essentially differing by the lengths and number of holes. The plate screws are provided in diameters of 2.8mm and 3.5mm in lengths from 8mm to 50mm. The System offers 3.5mm cannulated screws in various lengths to be used as adjunctive fixation. The 3.5mm cannulated screw can also be used with a specialized locking screw ("Peg") which contains a locking feature at the distal end for compression/stabilization.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Omni Foot Plating System, which is a metallic bone fixation device. This type of device is classified as a Class II medical device.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies proving the device meets those criteria, particularly aspects like sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details, and ground truth for training data, is not applicable to this type of device submission.
The document explicitly states under "Clinical Testing": "No clinical testing was performed."
Instead, the acceptance criteria and proof of meeting them for the Omni Foot Plating System are based on:
- Technological Comparison: Demonstrating that the design, materials, and principle of operation are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
- Engineering Analysis: Detailed analysis of the device's design and function.
- Mechanical/Bench Testing: Physical tests conducted in a laboratory setting to verify performance specifications.
Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided for the Omni Foot Plating System in relation to its acceptance criteria:

| Acceptance Criteria (Demonstrated Equivalence through) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from 510(k)) |
|---|---|
| Design and Materials Similarity to Predicates | Omni Foot System, Bone Plates: Similar to predicate devices (K161864, K140397, K121349) regarding design and materials. Features a polyaxial locking feature identical to K161864. |
| Screw Design Similarity to Predicates | Omni Foot System, Bone Screws: Identical in design to Arix Foot System Screw (K161864). |
| Locking Peg Functionality Equivalence | Omni Foot System, Locking Peg: Acts like a locking screw and bone washer/nut for compression, similar to the crossing screw construct of IO FiX (K121349). Its 4.2mm diameter is equivalent to Paragon 28 ParaLock Plating System (K140397). |
| Mechanical Performance (Bench Testing) | Bench tests (pullout, torque, static bend testing) were conducted on the proposed 3.5mm screw and Peg device. The results indicate that the Omni Foot Plating System is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of these mechanical properties. |
| Material Compliance | Components meet ASTM F67 (unalloyed Titanium plates) and ASTM F136 (Titanium Alloy Ti-6AL-4V screws). |
| Intended Use Equivalence | The intended use for internal fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis of the 1st Metatarsalphalangeal joint is aligned with the presumed uses of the predicate devices for similar orthopedic applications. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not Applicable. No human subjects test set or clinical data was used for this submission. The "test set" primarily refers to the physical samples of the device components used for bench testing. The document does not specify the exact number of samples tested for each bench test (e.g., how many screws were tested for pullout strength).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. Ground truth, in the context of clinical studies with human data, is not relevant here. Device equivalence was established through engineering principles and mechanical testing, which would involve qualified engineers and technicians performing the tests.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods apply to the interpretation of clinical data by multiple experts. Not relevant for this type of device submission.
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:
- Not Applicable. The device is a physical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. MRMC studies are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Not Applicable. For this device, the "ground truth" for demonstrating safety and effectiveness is primarily established through adherence to engineering design specifications, material standards (ASTM), and the results of validated mechanical bench tests demonstrating properties (like pullout strength, torque, static bend) that are equivalent to or meet the requirements of predicate devices.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train algorithms, which is not relevant for this physical device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. As per point 8, there is no training set in the context of this device submission.
In summary, the 510(k) submission for the Omni Foot Plating System relies on non-clinical data (engineering analysis and mechanical bench testing) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than clinical studies with human data. Therefore, many of the questions related to clinical study design and data analysis are not applicable.

- Sample Size for Mechanical Testing: Not explicitly stated in the summary, but typical for bench testing, multiple samples of each device configuration would be tested.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable as no clinical data was collected. The bench testing would have been conducted by Extremity Medical, LLC or a contracted lab.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. As no clinical testing was performed, there was no ground truth to establish from patient data using expert review. The "ground truth" for the mechanical testing would be the raw data collected from the testing equipment, and the comparison point would be the performance of the predicate device (likely from published data or internal testing).
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. No expert adjudication of clinical data was performed.
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
Not applicable. This device is a bone fixation system (screws), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. MRMC studies are used for evaluating diagnostic performance in image interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a medical implant, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The device is offered in small, medium and large implant sizes to allow for use in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the lesser toes of the foot.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the HammerFiX device, a bone fixation device. However, it explicitly states that no clinical testing was performed. Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them cannot be fully provided from the given document as it pertains to clinical performance. The 510(k) relies on non-clinical bench testing to establish substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than clinical efficacy or specific performance criteria from a clinical study.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on the provided text, acknowledging the lack of clinical study data:
Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for HammerFiX Device (Based on Non-Clinical Testing)
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Since no clinical study was performed to evaluate performance against clinical acceptance criteria, the table below reflects the non-clinical testing performed and the general statement of equivalence based on those tests. Specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed numerical performance metrics from the bench testing are not provided in this summary.
| Acceptance Criteria Category (Non-Clinical) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance | |
| Pull-out Strength | Performed and compared to predicate devices. (Details not specified) |
| Torque Strength | Performed and compared to predicate devices. (Details not specified) |
| Static Bending | Performed and compared to predicate devices. (Details not specified) |
| Dynamic Bending | Performed and compared to predicate devices. (Details not specified) |
| Overall Equivalence | The HammerFiX device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device based on indications for use, principles of operation, design, and mechanical test data. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in the provided summary. This refers to the number of devices or constructs tested during non-clinical bench testing.
- Data Provenance: The testing was "bench testing," meaning it was conducted in a laboratory setting, likely at the manufacturer's facility or a contracted testing lab. No country of origin for data is stated, and it is inherently prospective for the specific bench tests conducted to support the 510(k).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts:
- Not Applicable. For non-clinical bench testing, "ground truth" as it relates to expert clinical opinion is not established. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is typically defined by standardized test methods and engineering specifications. The tests compare the device's measured mechanical properties to those of predicate devices or established engineering standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are relevant for clinical studies, especially when multiple readers or experts assess subjective outcomes. For non-clinical mechanical testing, results are typically objective measurements, not subject to adjudication in this manner.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
- No. The document explicitly states: "No clinical testing was performed." Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. The HammerFiX device is a physical bone fixation implant, not a software algorithm or AI-based device. No standalone algorithm performance evaluation would be relevant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Non-Clinical Mechanical Standards and Predicate Device Performance: For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" was established by comparing the HammerFiX device's mechanical properties (pull-out, torque, static, and dynamic bending) against:
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable. This question is relevant for AI/ML algorithm development. Since the HammerFiX device is a physical implant and no AI/ML component is mentioned, there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not Applicable. See explanation above for training set.
Summary: The 510(k) clearance for the HammerFiX device was based on non-clinical bench testing demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study evaluating human performance or clinical outcomes. The document clearly states that "No clinical testing was performed."
