2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of patient data for a test set, as this was not a clinical study assessing patient outcomes. The testing described is bench testing (mechanical testing). For mechanical testing, samples of the physical device would be tested. The number of such samples is not explicitly stated but would typically involve multiple units for each configuration tested.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is from bench testing conducted on the subject device, its primary predicate (K233867), and reference devices (K203399, K220234). This testing would have been done in a laboratory setting, likely at the manufacturer's facility or a third-party testing lab. The origin of the device is Italy (Orthofix S.r.l.). The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically for this submission to evaluate the design change.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of this 510(k), is established through engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., ASTM F138-13), and validated mechanical testing methodologies, rather than human expert interpretation of clinical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There was no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is used for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical images or data, and an AI would assist in that interpretation. The FitboneTM Trochanteric is an implantable intramedullary lengthening nail, not a diagnostic AI software.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
Not applicable. The FitboneTM Trochanteric is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm or AI. Its function is mechanical distraction, controlled by an external unit, but it does not have a "standalone algorithm" performance to report in this context.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation is based on engineering specifications, material properties, and established mechanical testing standards. The primary method for establishing substantial equivalence involves comparing these aspects to a legally marketed predicate device and demonstrating that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Study Details: Magnification Marker Detection Algorithm
The document focuses on the performance testing for the magnification marker detection algorithm, which is an AI/ML component of the OrthoNext Platform System.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: 1000 X-ray images. Of these, 800 images depicted a magnification marker, and 200 images did not.
- Data Provenance: The test set consisted of real X-ray images. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It only states that these images were "not used during training, ensuring independence."
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "qualified personnel" were used for the truthing process.
- Qualifications of Experts: "Qualified personnel" are mentioned, but specific qualifications (e.g., radiologist with X years of experience) are not provided.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- The document describes a "review and discard process" implemented to ensure the quality of the annotations, but it does not specify an adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1". This suggests a quality control step for annotations rather than a formal consensus process among multiple readers for ground truth establishment.
-
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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or reported in this document. The study evaluates the standalone performance of the AI/ML algorithm for magnification marker detection, not its impact on human reader performance.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation of the AI/ML algorithm for magnification marker detection was explicitly done and reported. The performance metrics (Precision, Accuracy, TPR/Recall, FPR, F1 Score, IoU, MAE, MAPE) are all indicative of standalone algorithm performance.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Expert Consensus (Annotation): The ground truth was established through a "truthing process... conducted by qualified personnel, who carefully overlaid a circular shape on each magnification marker using annotation software."
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Training Set Composition: 1500 X-ray images with random areas depicting magnification markers.
- These 1500 magnification markers were randomly overlaid on top of 4000 X-ray images.
- Image augmentation techniques (random rotations, brightness adjustments) generated 24,000 unique X-ray images for training.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- The training set involved synthetic images. Specifically, "1500 X-ray images with random areas depicting magnification markers" were created, and these markers were "randomly overlaid on top of 4000 X-ray images." Image augmentation was then applied. This suggests that the ground truth for the training set markers was generated as part of the synthetic image creation process (i.e., the location and characteristics of the overlaid markers were known by design). A "hash check" was used to ensure the uniqueness of these synthetic images.

The subject TrueLok Elevate is an external fixation component system (including its accessories) to be used with the Orthofix TrueLok family, for which Orthofix identified as a predicate device TrueLok Hexapod System (TL-HEX) V2.0 (K170650). The subject device consists in a further series of elements for external fixation added to the Orthofix TrueLok family with the aim of supporting the Orthofix TrueLok external fixator systems family falling within the indications for use of the more extensive, cleared indications for use of the chosen predicate device, for the specific use in bone transport treatment.
The subject TrueLok Elevate is intended for treatment of non-union or pseudoarthrosis of long bones and correction of bony or soft tissue defects or deformities.
The TrueLok Elevate is indicated for adult and pediatric (greater than 2 through 21 years of age) patients.
The subject device is constituted by an external fixator and related accessories (half pins, k-wires, drill positioning guide, template and template inserts and convenience kits).
The technique for the use of the subject device consists in fixing two half pins on the first cortical of the bone segment that the surgeon decided to transport, and two half pins on both cortexes of the bone.
The positioning of the half pins is driven by a template.
During the treatment, through the knob present on the device, the bone segment is gradually pulled outward by the patient/caregiver to laterally transport the bone segment.
The subject device, as the predicate, will be implanted only by Healthcare Professionals (HCP), with full awareness of the appropriate orthopedic procedures (including application and removal), in the operating theatre only. The distraction of the limb will be activated in home by the patient/caregiver or in clinic theatre by the HCP. Treatment activation for pediatric patients in the home environment may require the assistance of a caregiver.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study performed, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text does not explicitly state specific pass/fail acceptance criteria values for the mechanical tests conducted. Instead, it describes comparative testing against predicate or reference devices to demonstrate similarity in performance. The assessment for each technological characteristic indicates that "no different questions have been raised" or that the subject device's indications fall within the predicate's, suggesting that the goal was to demonstrate equivalence rather than meeting pre-defined numerical thresholds for acceptance.
Test Description | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
External Frame: | |
Static axial stiffness test (according to ASTM F1541-17 Annex 7) | Performed for subject TrueLok Elevate external fixator. Performance was compared with reference device True/Lok Monolateral/Bilateral Fixator (K941048). The implicit acceptance criterion is that its stiffness is comparable or superior to the reference device, ensuring similar mechanical behavior. |
Slipping torque on connectors test (according to ASTM F1541-17 Annex 2) | Performed for subject TrueLok Elevate external fixator. Performance was compared with reference device True/Lok Monolateral/Bilateral Fixator (K941048). The implicit acceptance criterion is that its slipping torque is comparable or superior to the reference device, ensuring secure connection and stability. |
Half Pins: | |
Static 4-point bending evaluation | Performed for subject half pins of TrueLok Elevate. Performance was compared to the predicate device Orthofix TrueLok Hexapod System (K170650). The implicit acceptance criterion is that its bending strength is comparable or superior to the predicate device, ensuring similar structural integrity. |
Torsional strength evaluation | Performed for subject half pins of TrueLok Elevate. Performance was compared to the predicate device TrueLok Hexapod System (K170650). The implicit acceptance criterion is that its torsional strength is comparable or superior to the predicate device, ensuring similar resistance to twisting forces. |
Overall Assessment: | The conclusions state: "Based upon substantial equivalences in: intended use, patient population, site of application, conditions of use, operating principles, and the non-clinical performance data, the subject TrueLok™ Elevate has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device (K170650)." This indicates the device met the implicit acceptance criterion of performing comparably to the predicate. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for the mechanical tests (e.g., number of external fixators or half pins tested).
The provenance of the data is not specified regarding country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as these were bench tests performed on devices rather than patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Their Qualifications
This information is not applicable to this type of submission. The ground truth for mechanical performance is established through standardized testing protocols (e.g., ASTM standards) and comparisons to previously cleared predicate devices, not through expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable to this type of submission as the mechanical tests are objectively measured, not subject to subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
An MRMC study was not performed. This type of study is typically relevant for AI/imaging devices where human reader performance is being evaluated with and without AI assistance. The TrueLok™ Elevate is a physical external fixation system.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
A standalone study was not performed, as the device is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for demonstrating performance was based on objective mechanical measurements conducted in accordance with recognized industry standards (e.g., ASTM F1541-17) and comparisons to the established performance characteristics of legally marketed predicate devices. The "truth" is that the new device's mechanical properties fall within acceptable limits or are comparable to those of the predicate, as determined by these tests.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The TrueLok™ Elevate is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

The M6-C™ Single Use, Disposable Instrumentation are intended for the placement and positioning of the M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc.
The M6-C™ Artificial Cervical Disc is an intervertebral disc prosthesis designed to permit motion of a functional spinal unit in the cervical spine when replacing a degenerated native disc (PMA P170036). The surgical implantation of the M6-C Cervical Artificial Disc requires specific surgical instruments including: a footprint template and a trial to determine the appropriate size and position of the implant; a fin cutter to create tracks in the superior and inferior vertebral endplates; and an implant inserter to place the artificial disc into the desired position to aid in and ensure correct placement within the intervertebral space. Additionally, these are general surgical instruments to assist in the distraction and mobilization of the disc space. The single use instruments are composed primarily of reinforced polyacrylamide (PAA+50%GF) with some structural components made from surgical stainless steel and are intended to be reusable.
The provided text focuses on the FDA's 510(k) clearance for the M6-C™ Single Use, Disposable Instrumentation. It details the device's intended use and design, emphasizing its equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, details of diagnostic performance studies, sample sizes for test or training sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies.

- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance.
- Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study details (effect size, human improvement).
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and study information:
Based on the provided text, the submission is not about a medical device with an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) component or software. The text describes various intervertebral body fusion devices, their indications for use, and their technological characteristics. The "performance testing summary" explicitly states:
"The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications for use of the Orthofix Medical Inc. Interbody System devices to include use in the use of a bone void filler as cleared by FDA for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. Because the subject device is identical to the previously cleared primary predicate devices (K231076. K221751. K203714. K231735), it was determined that existing testing data is adequate to support the expanded indications proposed in the current submission."
This indicates that the submission relies on comparison to predicate devices and existing testing data for mechanical and material properties, rather than new studies demonstrating software performance, AI efficacy, or human-in-the-loop improvements. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for AI models, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies are not applicable.
However, I can extract the relevant information about the "acceptance criteria" and the "study" that proves the device meets them in the context of this 510(k) submission, even without an AI component.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (in the context of a 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" claim):
Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (as stated in the document) |
---|---|
Mechanical properties (strength, stiffness, durability, fatigue resistance) are equivalent to predicate devices. | "The subject devices and predicate devices are identical in all respects except for the indications for use (as described above)." |
"existing testing data [from predicate devices] is adequate to support the expanded indications proposed in the current submission." | |
Biocompatibility is equivalent to predicate devices. | Devices are made from PEEK (ASTM F2026), Tantalum (ASTM F560), Titanium (ASTM F67), or Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136/F3001), which are well-established biocompatible materials for implants. NanoMetalene surface technology is also referenced. |
Sterilization methods are validated and equivalent to predicate devices. | Devices are individually packaged and gamma sterilized (e.g., Reef TO/TA System, Regatta Lateral System, WaveForm C Interbody System, WaveForm TO Interbody System, WaveForm TA Interbody System, Shoreline ACS Interbody System, Shoreline RT Interbody System, Meridian Interbody System, WaveForm A Interbody System). Non-sterile components (instruments) are steam sterilized. |
Functional characteristics (e.g., ability to hold graft, facilitate fusion, accommodate patient anatomy) are equivalent to predicate devices. | Devices are designed with central graft windows for autogenous/allogeneic bone graft/bone void filler. They come in various footprints, heights, and lordotic options. |
Indications for Use are supported by established clinical practice and predicate device performance. | The primary "study" is a demonstration of substantial equivalence by comparing the subject devices to multiple predicate devices that already have similar indications for use, thereby covering the expanded use with bone void filler. |
Study Information (Based on the provided Text):
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not Applicable in the traditional sense for testing an AI model. This submission relies on a claim of "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices. There is no new test set of patient data being evaluated for the device's performance because the device itself (hardware) hasn't changed, only the allowable bone graft material. The "testing data" referenced is existing data from the predicate devices. The document does not specify the provenance of this existing data.
-
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):
- Not applicable. There is no "test set" in the context of an AI model requiring expert-established ground truth. The acceptance is based on engineering principles, material science, and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. See point 2.
-
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. This is not an AI/ML device, so an MRMC study is not relevant to this submission.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is not an AI/ML device.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not applicable for an AI ground truth. The "ground truth" for this type of submission is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices for their stated indications, combined with engineering and material testing data demonstrating their mechanical properties and biocompatibility.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
Summary regarding AI/ML:
The provided document describes a 510(k) submission for intervertebral body fusion devices. The core of the submission is to expand the indications for use of these existing devices to include the use of bone void fillers. The approval is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, asserting that the subject devices are "identical in all respects except for the indications for use" and that "existing testing data is adequate." Therefore, this document does not contain information related to AI/ML acceptance criteria, performance studies, or ground truth establishment.

The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device.
The interbody is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. The The PILLAR SA Ti Interbody may be used as a standalone device only when at least two Screws are inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory. If the surgeon chooses to use the PILLAR SA Ti Interbody with fewer than two Screws inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory, then additional supplemental fixation system must be used. Hyperlordotic sizes (greater than 20°) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
The PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System is an integrated in ody fusion device for use in anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures. The PILLAR SA TI Spacer System is compised of 3D printed titanium interbody spacers with porous titanium end plates and a functional gradient porous structure, and bone screws. The implants are offered in multiple footprints and lordotic options to accommodate individual patient anatomy. Each porous interbody has a large central window for graft material and a threaded hole with a zero-step locking mechanism for screw retention.
The PILLAR SA TI Spacer System implants are provided sterile.
PILLAR SA TI Spacer System implants are designed to be used with PILLAR SA TI Spacer System instrumentation and are not compatible with components from any other manufacturer's system.
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically an intervertebral body fusion device. These types of notifications typically focus on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a detailed clinical study with acceptance criteria for device performance in the same way a diagnostic AI/ML device would.
Therefore, the provided text does not contain the kind of information requested for AI/ML device studies (e.g., acceptance criteria for performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity, sample sizes for test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details).
Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for this device are related to its mechanical performance and substantial equivalence to existing devices. The study proving it meets these criteria is a non-clinical mechanical testing study.
Here's how to interpret the provided text in the context of your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance Summary (from text) |
---|---|
Mechanical Performance | "adequately demonstrated that the PLLAR SA Ti Spacer System implants (device under review) tested as well or better than the cited predicate devices." |
Design/Materials | "the same: intent population, method of fixation, surgical approach, sterilization, materials and general design elements as the cited PIC Spacer System (K200052) and Meridian Interbody System (K233694) predicate devices." |
Indications for Use | "The subject PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System has the same intended use and comparable indications for use to the cited predicate devices." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of "patients" or "cases." The "sample size" here refers to the number of test specimens (implants) subjected to mechanical testing. This information is typically detailed in the full mechanical test reports, which are not included in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. This is mechanical test data, likely generated in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer (Orthofix, Inc.).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical testing is established by engineering standards and measurements, not clinical expert consensus. The "experts" would be the engineers and technicians performing the tests and analyzing the results according to the specified ASTM standards.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable. This is mechanical testing against predefined engineering standards (ASTM F2077, F2267, F1877), not expert adjudication of clinical findings.
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. This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is not an AI/ML device.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Engineering Standards and Benchmarking: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its ability to meet or exceed the mechanical performance characteristics of predicate devices, as evaluated according to industry standards (ASTM F2077, F2267, F1877).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set."
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) summary for a traditional medical device (intervertebral fusion device), not an AI/ML device.

The RODEO Telescopic Nail is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions in femur and tibia in pediatric patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta.
The subject RODEO™ Telescopic Nail is a self-extending rod intended to provide bone fixation. The nail includes the telescopic rod, which consists of two parts (male and female) and bone anchors, which could be either a cap or an epiphyseal screw suitable to the anatomical application. The nail is provided in sterile and non-sterile version and is available in five diameters (3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm and 6.0mm), identified by the outer diameter of the female part of the rod, and five lengths for each diameter model (from 100 mm up to 350 mm). Application and removal are performed with Orthofix general orthopedic instrumentation. The subject RODEO™ Telescopic Nail consists of three different components which are intended to be assembled to form the implant: Male component - A solid shaft with a built-in bone anchor for bone connection; the bone anchor has the same design as the cap (described below). Female component - A hollow shaft designed to host the male component. Bone anchors - Two options are available depending on the desired application: Cap - A self-locking screw to be connected with the female component at the opposite aspect of the extremity relative to the male component. Epiphyseal Pin - A threaded pin to be inserted into the distal extremity hole to hold the female component in position and prevent migration (see Figure 3) When the male and female components are assembled, the resulting implant is a telescopic rod. Male and female components are free to move both axially and rotationally; this allows the nail to extend axially as the patient growth occurs while allowing rotation around the bone anchors. The subject implants are made from AISI 316LVM stainless steel, conforming to ASTM F138 and ISO 5832-1.
This response describes the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets criteria, derived from the provided text.
Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary for the RODEO™ Telescopic Nail, the device's acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets these criteria are primarily based on bench testing and demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than clinical performance or AI algorithm validation. The documentation focuses on engineering and material properties.

As is reflected by the testing, the subject device results were equivalent or better than those of the comparable predicate device." |
Study Details: Device Validation (Bench Testing)
-
Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of units, but testing was performed on "both male and female components of the subject and predicate devices" for mechanical testing, and "the worst case (smallest diameter) fully-assembled subject and predicate devices" as well as "the largest diameter fully-assembled subject and predicate devices" for additional static and dynamic testing. This implies multiple samples of each configuration were tested to generate data for stiffness, yield strength, fatigue, etc.
- Data Provenance: The data is from "bench testing" conducted by Orthofix SRL. It is not patient or clinical data, so country of origin isn't relevant in the same way, nor is it retrospective or prospective in the clinical sense. It's laboratory-generated data.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. This is not a study involving human interpretation of data (e.g., medical images) to establish "ground truth." The ground truth for mechanical testing is established by the specified ASTM standards and the measured physical properties of the materials and devices.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This is not a study involving human readers or subjective assessments requiring adjudication. The results are objective measurements from mechanical tests.
-
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 a medical device (intramedullary nail) and not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study and AI-related effect sizes are irrelevant to this submission.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable for the same reason as above. It is not an AI algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this type of submission is based on engineering specifications, material science standards (e.g., ASTM F138, ISO 5832-1), and mechanical testing standards (e.g., ASTM F1264-16). The performance of the subject device is measured against these established engineering benchmarks and compared directly to a legally marketed predicate device.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not a machine learning model, so there is no training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As above, there is no training set for a machine learning model.

"FITBONE Transport and Lengthening system" is indicated for limb lengthening, open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, malunions, non-unions, or bone transport of the long bones. The "FITBONE Transport and Lengthening system" is indicated for adult only.
The subject “FITBONE® Transport and Lengthening System” consists of the implantable intramedullary transport or lengthening nail and its trial nail accessories. The Subject device is implanted into the medullary canal of the femur or tibia and connected to the additional predicate intracutaneous Receiver by a bipolar feed line. The external FITBONE Control Set is identical to that previously cleared for the additional predicate Fitbone TAA device (K203399) and consists of a control electronics station and transmitter. There are no changes to this previously cleared Control Sets and Receiver as a result of this submission. The power required for the distraction process is controlled by hermetically enclosed motor which draws the telescope apart. The electro-magnetic field sent from the Transmitter to the Receiver is converted in the Receiver into DC-Voltage to supply the motor of the FITBONE Transport and Lengthening Nail with voltage, when actioned. The subject nail is anchored to the bone by locking screws through medial-lateral and AP holes in the nail depending on the configuration holes in the nail. The energy needed for the distraction process is transmitted from the outside by placing the external transmitter over the implanted receiver, which is placed in the subcutaneous tissue during surgery. There is no transcutaneous contact between the implanted intramedullary nail and the outer surface of the patient's body. The subject trial nails accessories are available for each size model of the FITBONE Transport (TN) and FITBONE Transport or Lengthening (TLN) nails and are used to simulate the shape of the implant. The subject nails and trial nails are provided in sterile conditions only and are made from, as follows: • Nail: implant grade stainless steel 1.4441, according to ASTM F138- 13 "Standard Specification for Wrought 18Chromium-14Nickel- 2.5Molybdenum Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants (UNS S31673)", and Silicone Nusilmed (NuSil MED-4870, NuSil MED- 1511, Nusil MED 4750). • Trial nail: implant grade stainless steel 1.4441, according to ASTM F138-13 "Standard Specification for Wrought 18Chromium-14Nickel- 2.5Molybdenum Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants (UNS S31673)" and ASTM F899-20 Standard Specification for Wrought Stainless Steels for Surgical Instruments For the implantation and removal of the subject device the same instruments of the additional predicate Fitbone TAA (K203399) may be used.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (FITBONE® Transport and Lengthening System). It details the device's indications for use, technological characteristics, and a comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML-based medical device.
The document describes mechanical testing (bench testing) to demonstrate the equivalence of the subject device to its predicates for physical attributes like bending, fatigue, and torsional strength, and current consumption of the motor. This is typical for implantable mechanical devices.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device, including details about sample sizes, data provenance, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, or MRMC studies, as these concepts are not applicable to the content provided in the input text.
The document discusses performance in terms of mechanical and functional equivalence of a physical medical device, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

The OFIX MIS App software assists healthcare professionals in viewing, storing, and measuring images as well as planning orthopedic surgeries. The app allows service providers to plan surgical procedures by making measurements for the placement of surgical implants. Clinical judgement and experience are required to properly use the software.
The OFIX MIS App will provide a novel mobile phone solution to supplement the use of calipers when selecting rods used in immobilization of pedicle screw type spinal systems. The App will rely on capturing 2D images used in spinal implant procedures through use of mobile phone camera. The App measures the difference between known Orthofix pedicle screw diameters and provides feedback useful in determining appropriate rod length with corresponding Orthofix product number.
The OFIX MIS App is a software designed to assist healthcare professionals in viewing, storing, measuring images, and planning orthopedic surgeries, specifically by measuring anatomical components for the placement of surgical implants. The device helps determine appropriate rod length with corresponding Orthofix product numbers by capturing 2D images used in spinal implant procedures via a mobile phone camera.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text does not explicitly detail specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy percentages, maximum error margins) and their corresponding reported device performance values. Instead, it broadly states that "The testing demonstrated that the App meets the required specifications." and "The OFIX MIS App demonstrated accuracy and usability with bench top and simulated use testing."
However, based on the device's function, the implied acceptance criteria would revolve around the accuracy of measurements and the usability of the app for surgical planning. The provided information indicates compliance with these general requirements.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from text) |
---|---|
Accuracy of measurements | "demonstrated accuracy" |
Usability for surgical planning | "demonstrated usability" |
Meeting required specifications | "meets the required specifications" |
Safety and effectiveness | "testing data support the safety and effectiveness" |
Performance as intended | "demonstrate performance as intended in the specified use conditions" |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the sample size used for the test set. It also does not explicitly state the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature of the images used for testing). The testing is described as "bench top and simulated use testing," which implies either synthetic data, controlled clinical images, or a mix, but no details are given.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not provide information regarding the number of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience").
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe the adjudication method used for the test set (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none).
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
The document does not indicate that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done to assess how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study focuses on the standalone performance and usability of the OFIX MIS App.
6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, a standalone study was implicitly done. The "Software Verification and Validation Testing" and "Usability Testing" sections describe the evaluation of the App itself to ensure it meets specifications and demonstrates accuracy and usability. The statement "The OFIX MIS App demonstrated accuracy and usability with bench top and simulated use testing" suggests testing of the algorithm's performance and the app's functionality independent of clinical human performance metrics.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data). Given the nature of the device (measurement and planning), it is highly probable that a "gold standard" of measurement, likely derived from manual measurements by qualified experts or using high-precision instruments on the test images, would have been used as the ground truth.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. It mentions the algorithm is "not machine-learning based," which implies that there might not have been a traditional "training set" in the machine learning sense. Instead, the algorithm relies on "information specific to Orthofix implant systems."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since the algorithm is explicitly stated as "not machine-learning based" and uses "information specific to Orthofix implant systems," there wouldn't be a typical training set with corresponding ground truth established in the way machine learning models are trained. Instead, the "ground truth" or foundational data for the algorithm would be the known, precise specifications and dimensions of Orthofix's pedicle screws and rods, likely derived from their engineering and manufacturing data. The algorithm would then use these pre-defined parameters to process the captured images and recommend appropriate rod lengths.
