The DynaNail Mini Tapered Hybrid is indicated for fracture fixation, osteotomies, reconstruction procedures, non-unions, and fusions of large bones in the foot and ankle.
The proposed DynaNail Mini Tapered Hybrid™ is part of the DynaNail Mini™ Fusion System. The proposed implant is sterile, single use titanium device with an internal Nitinol compressive element for use in midfoot and hindfoot reconstruction. A titanium outer body provides bending and torsional rigidity to the arthrodesis construct, while the internal Nitinol compressive element sustains compression across the joints post-operatively.
The proposed DynaNail Mini Tapered Hybrid™ is available in identical diameters and lengths to the predicate device, and to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The proposed device differs from the predicate device only in the threaded component major diameter, which is tapered. The DynaNail Mini Tapered Hybrid™ is implanted with the same driver/ deployment frame and fixation screws as the predicate. The fixation screws are single use titanium headless screws. These are available in various lengths to accommodate the anatomical fixation required. The system includes instruments for implantation identical to the predicate.

-Fracture, osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot.
-Fixation of proximal tibial metaphysis osteotomy.
-Fixation of small fragments of bone (i.e. small fragments of bone which are not comminuted to the extent to preclude staple placement). These fragments may be located in long bones such as the femur, fibula, and tibia in the lower extremities; the humerus, ulna, or radius in the upper extremities; the clavicle and ribs; and in flat bones such as the pelvis, scapula, and sternum.
The proposed MedShape DynaClip® Bone Staple is a sterile, single use orthopedic implant designed to use the principles of interference fit to hold the implant body into a predrilled hole and across the target fracture site. The DynaClip® Bone Staple is intended to be used for fracture and osteotomy fixation, including joint arthrodesis, and fixation of small bone fragments, and is comprised of Nickel Titanium alloy commonly referred to as NiTiNOL (reference ASTM F2063, Standard Specification for Wrought Nickel-Titanium Shape Memory Alloys for Medical Devices and Surgical lmplants). The staple is provided pre-loaded on a disposable inserter.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the MedShape DynaClip® Bone Staple (K220812) does not contain information related to a study involving image analysis, AI, or human reader performance.
Instead, this document describes a bone staple, which is a physical medical device intended for fracture and osteotomy fixation. The acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria are based on mechanical testing, material characterization, and biocompatibility assessments, not on performance in interpreting medical images or improving human interpretation.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the questions related to acceptance criteria and studies (like sample size for test/training sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) as they pertain to image analysis or AI/human-in-the-loop performance, because this information is not present in the provided text.
The closest relevant information, regarding performance testing to support substantial equivalence, is listed as:
- Corrosion resistance testing per ASTM F2129
- Transformation temperature thermal analysis testing per ASTM F2004-17
- Bacterial endotoxin testing per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011
- Mechanical comparison via Finite Element Analysis
The document explicitly states: "No clinical data was collected, as it was deemed unnecessary to support the assertion of safety." This further confirms that no studies involving human or AI interpretation of images were conducted or are described here.

The fixation screws are single use titanium headless screws. These are available in various lengths to accommodate the anatomical fixation required. The system includes instruments for implantation.
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (DynaNail Mini) and therefore does not include detailed information about clinical studies, acceptance criteria, or ground truth establishment for AI/ML device performance. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical characteristics, materials, and mechanical performance testing, rather than reporting on a study demonstrating clinical performance against acceptance criteria.
Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text.
Here is what can be inferred from the document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document mentions "Engineering analysis and mechanical performance testing (Pull-out per ASTM F543) was performed." and "The test results and analysis demonstrate substantial equivalent performance to the predicate devices." It also states "Pyrogenicity testing was conducted per ANSI/AAMI ST72 for the worst case largest DynaNail™ system, confirming the most loaded device scenario meets the limit of 20EU. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011."
However, the specific acceptance criteria (e.g., "pull-out strength X N or greater") and the exact reported performance values are not provided in the text. The only specific acceptance criterion mentioned is for pyrogenicity: "confirmi[ng] the most loaded device scenario meets the limit of 20EU."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This document describes a mechanical device, not an AI/ML system tested on a dataset of patient information.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) 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.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device would be its mechanical properties and biological compatibility, which are assessed through engineering analysis and laboratory testing (e.g., ASTM F543, ANSI/AAMI ST72), not clinical data from patients.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The proposed DynaNail™ is a sterile, single use titanium device with an additional internal Nitinol compressive element for use in tibiotalocalcaneal fusions. The DynaNail™'s titanium outer body provides bending and torsional rigidity to the arthrodesis construct, while the internal Nitinol compressive element sustains compression across the ankle and subtalar joints postoperatively.
The DynaNail™ is available in 10, 11, and 12mm diameters and lengths of 180mm, 220mm, 260mm, and 300mm. The DynaNail™ is implanted with a deployment frame and fixation screws. The fixation screws are single use 5mm titanium headed and headless screws. The screws are available in lengths that range from 20 to 110mm.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the DynaNail TTC Fusion System, and it describes a medical device, not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the information requested in the prompt, which is primarily relevant to the evaluation and validation of AI/ML devices (e.g., acceptance criteria for algorithm performance, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance), is not applicable and cannot be extracted from this document.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through design, function, intended use, and adherence to relevant standards like ASTM F 1264-03 for functional performance and ANSI/AAMI ST72 for pyrogenicity.
Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor details about sample sizes, ground truth, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or AI/MRMC studies, as these concepts are not part of the described medical device evaluation in this 510(k) summary.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the MedShape FastForward device. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through comparative testing of mechanical properties, rather than clinical performance studies typically associated with AI/software-based devices. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding clinical acceptance criteria, human reader studies, and AI-specific ground truth will not be present.
Based on the provided text, here's the information that can be extracted:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The 510(k) summary indicates that the device's performance was evaluated through pullout/fracture strength testing, monotonic and cyclic tension, and shear testing. The overall acceptance criterion for these tests was substantial equivalence to the predicate device (Arthrex Mini Tightrope, K061925).
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Mechanical Strength | Substantial equivalence in pullout/fracture strength | "Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device." |
Monotonic Tension Strength | Substantial equivalence | "Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device." |
Cyclic Tension Strength | Substantial equivalence | "Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device." |
Shear Strength | Substantial equivalence | "Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device." |
Overall Comparison | Differences "do not raise safety or efficacy concerns" | "Any differences between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise safety or efficacy concerns." |
Intended Use Equivalence | Equivalent indications for use | The FastForward "is substantially equivalent in design, function and intended use to the following predicate device: Arthrex Mini Tightrope, K061925" |
Study Details
Given the nature of a 510(k) for a metallic bone fixation appliance, the "study" referred to is primarily benchtop mechanical testing.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (i.e., number of FastForward devices or predicate devices) used for the pullout, fracture, tension, and shear testing.
- The data provenance is not explicitly stated as country of origin, but it is implied to be from MedShape's internal testing or a contract lab. The test data is retrospective in the sense that it was conducted as part of the device development and submission.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This question is not applicable as the "ground truth" was established purely through objective mechanical testing measurements (e.g., force at failure, displacement under load) rather than expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- None. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective assessments (e.g., reading medical images) where human agreement is required to establish ground truth. As this was mechanical testing, objective measurements were taken.
-
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. An MRMC study is not mentioned. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive devices, not for a mechanical bone fixation device like the FastForward. There is no AI component mentioned for this device.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation was based on quantitative mechanical measurements (e.g., force, displacement) obtained during pullout/fracture strength, monotonic and cyclic tension, and shear testing. The performance was then compared to a predicate device's performance using these objective measurements.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this device is a mechanical implant and does not involve machine learning or AI.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- This is not applicable. There is no training set for a mechanical device.
