Inion CPS™ 1.5 Baby Bioabsorbable Fixation System implants are intended for use in trauma and reconstructive procedures in the craniofacial skeleton (e.g., infant craniofacial surgery, craniosynostosis, congenital malformations, craniotomy flap fixation), mid-face and maxilla.
The Inion CPS™ 1.5/2.0/2.5 Bioabsorbable Fixation System implants are intended for use in trauma and reconstructive procedures and to maintain the relative position of bone grafts or bone graft substitutes in the cranium, including craniotomy flap fixation.
Inion CPS™ and Inion CPS™ Baby implants are bioabsorbable plates, screws and mesh plates made of bioabsorbable co-polymers. Inion CPS™ 1.5/2.0/2.5 System implants are composed of L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid and Trimethylenecarbonate. Inion CPS™ 1.5 Baby System implants are composed of L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid and Poly-Glygolic acid. These polymers have a long history of safe medical use and they degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolised by the body. The implants retain sufficient strength to fulfil their intended function during the healing period of the fracture or osteotomy, and degrade gradually thereafter. Bioresorption of Inion CPS™ implants takes place within 2-4 years, and Inion CPS™ Baby implants within 2-3 years.
The systems consist of fixation plates, meshes and screws offered in different sizes and designed to be used with the Inion CPS™ bone drill bits, bone taps, self-drilling bone taps, countersinks, screw drivers, plate bending pliers and heating device. The instruments are nonsterile and reusable. They are intended to be cleaned and sterilized before initial use and after each use.
The implants are provided sterile by gamma irradiation. They are intended for single use and shall not be re-sterilized or re-used. Implants are non-pyrogenic and fully synthetic.
This FDA 510(k) clearance letter is for bioabsorbable fixation systems, not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable. I will provide information from the document as it relates to the general acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, while noting when a specific AI/ML related field is not relevant to this type of device.

In addition, the Inion CompressOn™ Ø 3.5/4.0/4.5/5.0/6.0 mm products are specifically intended for use in following indications:
A. General indication: maintenance of reduction of cancellous bone fractures, osteotomies or arthrodeses of the upper extremity, ankle and foot in the presence of appropriate brace and/or immobilization.
B. Specific indications: fractures and osteotomies of the malleoli, and ankle fractures.
Inion CompressOn™ Screws are cannulated headless compression screws made of degradable co-polymers composed of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. These polymers have a long history of safe medical use and they degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolised by the body. The implants retain sufficient strength to fulfil their intended function during the healing period of the fracture or osteotomy, and degrade gradually thereafter. Bioresorption takes place within two to four years. The implants are provided sterile to the user and are not to be re-used or re-sterilized.
Inion CompressOn™ Screws have nominal dimensions ranging from 2.7-6.0 mm in diameter and 12-90 mm in length. They are designed to be inserted using Inion® instrumentation: drill bits, bone taps, drill taps, screwdriver shafts, drill sleeves, K-wires and depth gauges. The screws can be inserted over a guide wire.
Inion CompressOn™ Screws provide fixation and are not intended to replace healthy bone or withstand the stress of full load bearing.
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Inion CompressOn™ Screw, a medical device for bone fixation. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Inion FreedomScrew™).

These INION BIORESTORE™ implants are bone graft substitutes indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. INION BIORESTORE™ is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Inion BioRestore™ is a biodegradable bone graft substitute made of bioactive, biodegradable glass. Inion BioRestore™ system consists of different size cylinders, blocks and morsels made of degradable bioactive glass. When implanted, a kinetic modification of the surface occurs, resulting in the formation of a calcium phosphate layer that is essentially similar in composition and structure to the hydroxyapatite found in bone mineral. This apatite layer provides scaffolding onto which the patient's new bone will grow allowing complete repair of the defect. Based on pre-clinical testing, most of the material degrades in vivo in six months. The material is radiopaque. Inion BioRestore™ implants are intended for single use and are provided sterile to the user. They are completely synthetic and non-pyrogenic.
With this modification, additional packaging sizes and packaging configurations are introduced for the Inion BioRestore™ morsels.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Inion BioRestore device. The information provided primarily focuses on the regulatory aspects, device description, and verification testing related to packaging modifications for an existing bone graft substitute. As such, the document does not contain the typical acceptance criteria and a study design for a software or AI-based medical device.
Therefore, many of the requested details, such as those related to AI algorithm performance, human reader studies, or training/test set ground truth establishment for an AI device, are not applicable to this submission.

The Inion BioRestore™ implants are bone graft substitutes indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Inion BioRestore™ is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Inion. BioRestore™ is an osteoconductive and osteostimulative bioactive bone graft device. In vivo tests have demonstrated more bone formation at each post-implantation timepoint and more total bone formation compared to other osteoconductive devices such as hydroxyapatite. In vitro cell culture tests with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells have demonstrated an osteostimulative effect, defined as the active stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation as evidenced by alkaline phosphatase activity. This stimulation has been attributed as being the result of the interaction between osteoblasts and the ionic dissolution products released from Inion BioRestore™ during its absorption. Clinical data on humans on rate and extent of bone formation observed in cell culture and animal models has not been established. Bioactive materials are those materials that elicit a specific biological response at the interface of the material that results in the formation of a bond between the tissues and the material. Osteostimulation is a "... property of some bioactive materials to enhance, actively stimulate both the proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells (e.g. mesenchymal stem cells) ... "1 The Inion BioRestore™ system consists of different size cylinders, blocks and morsels made of degradable bioactive glass. When implanted, a kinetic modification of the surface occurs, resulting in the formation of a calcium phosphate layer that is essentially similar in composition and structure to the hydroxyapatite found in bone mineral. This apatite laver provides scaffolding onto which the patient's new bone will grow allowing complete repair of the defect. Based on pre-clinical testing, most of the material degrades in vivo in six months. The material is radiopaque. Inion BioRestore™ implants are intended for single use and are provided sterile to the user. They are completely synthetic and noncollagenous.
The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the Inion BioRestore™ device meets specific acceptance criteria.

This 510(k) summary for Inion BioRestore™ describes a medical device clearance based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study against a pre-defined set of acceptance criteria with detailed performance metrics. Therefore, several requested categories of information directly related to performance studies with acceptance criteria, ground truth, and expert evaluation are not applicable or not provided in this document.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance | Comments |
---|---|---|
Not explicitly stated as numerical performance criteria. | The device is deemed "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices. | The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating that Inion BioRestore™ is as safe and effective as legally marketed predicate devices, not on meeting specific, pre-defined numerical performance targets. |
Osteoconductivity | Demonstrated in vivo tests showing "more bone formation at each post-implantation timepoint and more total bone formation compared to other osteoconductive devices such as hydroxyapatite." | This is a comparative claim, not against an acceptance criterion. No specific numerical thresholds are provided. |
Osteostimulation | Demonstrated in vitro cell culture tests with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells showing "an osteostimulative effect, defined as the active stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation as evidenced by alkaline phosphatase activity." | This is a qualitative claim based on in vitro testing. No specific numerical thresholds or comparative data against an acceptance criterion are provided. |
Degradation | Based on pre-clinical testing, "most of the material degrades in vivo in six months." | This is an estimated timeframe based on pre-clinical data, not an explicit acceptance criterion against which performance is numerically measured. |
Radiopacity | "The material is radiopaque." | This is a qualitative characteristic, not a performance metric against a specific criterion. |
Study Information
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test set and data provenance specific to a performance study: Not explicitly stated. The document refers to "in vivo tests" and "in vitro cell culture tests," but does not provide details on sample sizes or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature) for these tests in the context of a "test set" for regulatory evaluation against acceptance criteria.
- The "performance data and specifications" mentioned in the substantial equivalence statement are used to compare the device to predicates, not against a standalone test set for specific acceptance criteria.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable as no specific "test set" requiring expert ground truth establishment for regulatory acceptance is detailed in this 510(k) summary. The evaluation relies on comparison to predicate devices and general pre-clinical testing results.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as no specific "test set" with a need for expert adjudication is detailed.
-
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 graft substitute, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reader performance with or without AI assistance is irrelevant and not mentioned.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical bone graft substitute, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the "in vivo tests" demonstrating bone formation: The "ground truth" would likely be based on histological analysis, imaging (e.g., radiography, micro-CT) for assessing bone growth, and potentially gross examination by animal pathologists or histology experts. However, specific details are not provided.
- For the "in vitro cell culture tests": The "ground truth" for osteostimulation is evidenced by "alkaline phosphatase activity," which is a biochemical marker for osteoblast differentiation.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical bone graft substitute, not an AI model that requires a "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.
In summary, this 510(k) clearance is based on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to existing predicate devices, leveraging pre-clinical (in vivo and in vitro) data for general characterization rather than a specific performance study against defined acceptance criteria with a detailed clinical test set and expert evaluation. The document confirms that there are "no applicable mandatory performance standards" for this device.

The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is intended for soft tissue (including ligament, tendon, and bone-tendon-bone graft) fixation to bone in surgeries of the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, foot, hand and wrist where the offered screw sizes are patient appropriate.
Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is made of resorbable polylactic acid / trimethylenecarbonate copolymer. The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable Screws are coloured green for better visualization during surgical operation.
Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screws gradually lose their strength during 18-36 weeks. Bioresorption takes place within two to four years. Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is sterile and non-collagenous. The shelf life of the product is three years.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw, a medical device for orthopedic fixation. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets them in the way a diagnostic AI would.
This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices already on the market, rather than proving the performance of a novel diagnostic algorithm against specific acceptance criteria. This process is common for medical devices.
Therefore, many of the requested categories for a diagnostic AI study on acceptance criteria and performance cannot be directly extracted from this document, as they are not applicable to the type of regulatory submission presented.
Here's a breakdown of what can be derived from the provided text, and what cannot:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
- Not applicable / Not provided in this format. This document does not present acceptance criteria or reported performance as it would for a diagnostic AI. The goal of a 510(k) is to show substantial equivalence to existing devices. The "performance" is implicitly deemed equivalent to the predicate devices.
- The closest "performance" related information is that the device "gradually lose their strength during 18-36 weeks" and "Bioresorption takes place within two to four years." These are characteristics, not performance metrics against acceptance criteria.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Not applicable. This is a medical implant, not a diagnostic AI that uses a test set of data. The "study" mentioned here is the comparison to predicate devices and the characterization of the material properties described above.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
- Not applicable. Again, this is not a diagnostic AI performance study.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not applicable.
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 is not a diagnostic AI and therefore no MRMC study would be conducted in this context.
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 in the context of an AI ground truth. For this device, the "ground truth" for substantial equivalence relies on:
- Material composition: Polylactic acid / trimethylenecarbonate copolymer.
- Scientific technology: Biodegradable screw for fixation.
- Degradation profile: 18-36 weeks for strength loss, 2-4 years for bioresorption.
- Mechanical properties: Implied to be similar to predicate devices.
- Predicate devices: Arthrex Interference Screw, Arthrex Tenodesis Screw Family, Biomet Bio-Core Interference Screw, Biomet Resorbable Interference Screw. The "ground truth" for their safety and effectiveness is their prior FDA clearance and market history.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- Not applicable.
Summary of what can be extracted concerning "acceptance criteria" and "study" for this type of device:
The "study" presented in this 510(k) is primarily a comparative study for substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
Acceptance Criteria for Substantial Equivalence (Implicit from the document):
The device is considered to have met "acceptance criteria" for marketing if it is demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices, meaning:
- Same intended use: Soft tissue (ligament, tendon, bone-tendon-bone graft) fixation to bone in surgeries of the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, foot, hand, and wrist.
- Similar technological characteristics: Material composition (resorbable polylactic acid/trimethylenecarbonate copolymer), degradation profile, and mechanical properties are comparable to predicate devices.
- No new questions of safety and effectiveness: The differences between the Inion Hexalon™ screw and the predicate devices do not raise new concerns.
The "Study" that Proves the Device Meets these Criteria:
- The "study" is a technical and scientific comparison to predicate devices, backed by information on the device's material properties and degradation profile.
- The document states: "The evidence demonstrates that the intended use, material composition and scientific technology, degradation profile and mechanical properties of Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw are substantially equivalent with the predicate devices."
- Data Provenance: This would typically involve laboratory testing of the Inion Hexalon™ screw's material and mechanical properties (e.g., strength testing, degradation studies) and a review of the predicate devices' characteristics. The document does not specify where these tests were conducted or the specific experimental design, but it implies such data was submitted to the FDA to support the substantial equivalence claim.
- No specific sample sizes for "test sets" or "training sets" are provided because this is not a diagnostic AI or a clinical trial in the conventional sense of proving efficacy or safety from scratch. Instead, it relies on the established safety and efficacy of the predicate devices.
