    Device Description

    The Shadow Knotless All-Suture Anchor is a modified version of the Responsive Arthroscopy (RA) Mini Stealth All-Suture Anchors that were previously cleared under K230094. The subject Shadow Knotless device is a suture anchor intended for the fixation of soft tissue to bone. The Shadow device features a knotless, push-in design and is comprised entirely of suture material configured to provide an anchor in bone. The anchor creates a secure fixation point for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone when it is inserted through a pilot hole and deployed against the inserter tip below cortical bone in the desired anatomy. The subject device four longitudinally arranged round bundles that bunch together and expand radially when deployed to achieve fixation. The provided suture passing loop allows the integrated repair suture to be passed through the anchor body when securing the desired soft tissue, while the knotless feature allows the repair suture to be locked in place without tying a knot. The anchors may be delivered arthroscopically using inserters and reusable surgical instruments such as drills, guide tubes, and probes, which are identical to those provided with the predicate Mini Stealth All-Suture Anchors (K230094). The subject Shadow anchors are pre-loaded on disposable inserters and provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO), while the reusable instruments are non-sterile and are intended to be sterilized by the end user.

    The subject Shadow device is designed for a 2.1mm diameter pilot hole and is comprised of braided nonabsorbable ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). It is provided with an attached USP #1 UHMWPE nonabsorbable repair suture tail and a UHMWPE suture passing loop that are used to facilitate a repair. All subject device materials are identical to those of the predicate Mini Stealth All-Suture Anchors (K230094).

    The primary differences between the subject and predicate devices (K230094) are the additions of the knotless feature, integrated repair suture tail, and suture passing loop. However, these design characteristics are similar to those found in the predicate RA Wedge Push-In Suture Anchors previously cleared under K190446 and K181076. No other changes are being made to the inserters or other instrumentation that may be used during a procedure.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding the "Shadow Knotless All-Suture Anchors." It details the device's description, indications for use, technological characteristics, and evidence of substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

    The provided text describes a medical device (suture anchors) and its regulatory clearance process, not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies that prove an AI/ML device meets those criteria cannot be extracted from this document. The concepts of "test set," "training set," "ground truth," "MRMC studies," "human readers improve with AI," and "standalone algorithm performance" are specific to the development and validation of AI/ML models in a healthcare context, which are not discussed here.

    The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (suture anchors) to existing cleared devices through bench testing of mechanical properties.

    However, I can extract the information that is present concerning the device's performance through bench testing, which serves as its "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence.


    Based on the provided document, here's what can be extracted, interpreted within the context of a physical medical device clearance, not an AI/ML model:

    There is no information in this document about an AI/ML-powered device. The device in question is the "Shadow Knotless All-Suture Anchors," which is a physical implantable medical device. Therefore, many of the requested points related to AI/ML validation (e.g., test/training sets, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, human-in-the-loop performance) are not applicable.

    However, I can interpret the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of this physical device's non-clinical performance testing.


    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document states: "Performance testing consisted of design verification testing). All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended."

    While specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "pullout force must be > X N") are not explicitly listed, the types of tests performed indicate the performance characteristics that were evaluated and met.

    Acceptance Criteria Category (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Implied)
    Insertion ForceMet acceptance criteria; performed as intended.
    Cyclic Pullout ForceMet acceptance criteria; performed as intended.
    Cyclic Suture Locking ForceMet acceptance criteria; performed as intended.
    Suture Diameter MeasurementMet acceptance criteria; performed as intended (specifications were met).
    Suture Tensile StrengthMet acceptance criteria; performed as intended.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test. The document generally refers to "the subject devices" and "the predicate devices" being tested.
    • Data Provenance: The testing was "Nonclinical performance testing" conducted to demonstrate that the device met established performance characteristics and design requirements. This implies laboratory bench testing, not clinical data from patients or a specific country. This is a prospective test specifically for this device's clearance.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. This is for a physical device, and "ground truth" as it pertains to expert annotation in AI/ML is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the measurement standards and engineering specifications.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. This concept pertains to resolving discrepancies in expert annotations for AI/ML validation. For bench testing, test results are compared against predefined engineering specifications.

    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 physical medical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. MRMC studies are used to evaluate diagnostic imaging systems, often in the context of AI.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This applies to AI/ML algorithms. The performance testing described (mechanical tests) is inherent to the device itself.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • For physical device testing, the "ground truth" is typically against engineering specifications, material standards, and performance benchmarks derived from predicate devices or established biomechanical principles. It's based on measured physical properties (e.g., force, diameter, strength).

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. There is no AI/ML training set for this physical device.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. There is no AI/ML training set for this physical device.

    In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a physical medical device (suture anchors), not an AI/ML product. Therefore, most of the specific questions geared towards AI/ML validation are not addressed or applicable within this document. The "acceptance criteria" and "proof" for this device relate to its mechanical performance in non-clinical bench testing, demonstrating that it functions equivalently to previously cleared predicate devices.

Both anchor systems are comprised of braided nonabsorbable ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material and are available in a variety of configurations containing one or more working USP #2 sutures or 1.5mm suture tapes to facilitate a repair.

    The Stealth and Mini Stealth All-Suture Anchors are pre-loaded on disposable inserters and provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO), while the reusable instruments are non-sterile and are intended to be sterilized by the end user.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the Responsive Arthroscopy Stealth and Mini Stealth All-Suture Anchors, which are intended for the fixation of soft tissue to bone.

    Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Test TypeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Insertion Force TestingNot explicitly stated, but implied to meet design specifications and intended performance (likely related to ease/safety of insertion)."All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended." The subject devices' insertion method is similar to the predicate devices, with slight differences in implant deployment method which are deemed equivalent and have no impact on intended use.
    Cyclic Pullout Force TestingNot explicitly stated, but implied to demonstrate sufficient fixation strength and durability compared to predicate devices."All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended." The study included "side-by-side comparative testing with the predicate devices," suggesting the pullout forces were comparable or superior.
    Shelf-life Testing (ASTM F1980)Not explicitly stated, but implied to demonstrate the device maintains its properties and sterility over the specified shelf life."All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended." The shelf-life validation was successfully completed.
    Extractable Residue Testing (ASTM F2459)Not explicitly stated, but implied to demonstrate that extractable residues from the device are below specified safety limits."All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended." The extractable residue testing was successfully completed.
    MEM Elution Testing (ISO 10993-5)Not explicitly stated, but implied to demonstrate the device is non-cytotoxic."All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended." The cytotoxicity testing was successfully completed.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each performance test (e.g., number of anchors tested for insertion force or cyclic pullout). It also does not mention the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. The testing was non-clinical, meaning it was likely conducted in a lab setting rather than involving human or animal subjects in a clinical trial.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    This information is not applicable. The studies described are non-clinical performance and design verification tests, not studies requiring expert interpretation of diagnostic data to establish ground truth.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    This information is not applicable, as the tests are non-clinical performance evaluations with predefined pass/fail criteria rather than requiring expert adjudication of results.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done

    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The studies were non-clinical performance tests comparing the subject devices to predicate devices.

    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    This concept is not applicable as the device is a medical implant (suture anchor), not an AI algorithm. The performance tests were conducted on the physical device itself.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance tests was established by predefined engineering specifications, design requirements, and established standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO guidelines), as well as comparative performance to legally marketed predicate devices. For instance, for pullout strength, the ground truth would be a defined force threshold or equivalency to predicate device performance.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable. This is a medical device approval based on non-clinical performance testing and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not an AI model requiring a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    This information is not applicable for the same reason as above.

    Elbow: Biceps Tendon Reattachment, Tennis Elbow Repair, Ulnar or Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction, Lateral Epicylitis Repair

    Device Description

    The Mustang and Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors are modified versions of the RA Large Screw-in Suture Anchors and the Large Push-In Suture Anchors, respectively, that were previously cleared under K180951. The Mustang and Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors are families of suture anchors intended for the fixation of soft tissue to bone. Both Mustang systems include two diameter sizes of suture anchors made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) per ASTM F2026 along with repair suture tape, inserters, awls, and taps.

    Both the Mustang and Mustang Knotless device families include several configurations that differ in anchor diameter and suture offerings to accommodate various procedures and patient anatomies.

    The Mustang Suture Anchors will be offered in two diameter sizes (4.5 and 5.5mm) and are provided with either two #2 sutures or one 1.5 mm suture tape (4.5mm anchor); or three #2 sutures or two 1.5mm suture tapes (5.5mm anchor).

    The Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors will be offered in two diameter sizes (4.75 and 5.5mm) and are designed to accept up to six #2 suture tails or two 1.5mm suture tape tails (4.75mm anchor); or up to eight #2 suture tails or four 1.5mm suture tape tails (5.5mm anchor). The Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors also feature a suture pull tab and an auxiliary #0 suture that holds the anchor in place until use.

    The Mustang and Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors are pre-loaded on disposable inserters and provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO).

    The only differences between the subject devices and the predicate devices are considered minor and include modified anchor body geometry, modified anchor body dimensions, increase in the number of sutures or suture tapes compatible with the implants, modified internal locking screw geometry and dimensions, and the addition of vent holes to the anchor bodies. In addition, the subject Mustang Knotless Suture Anchor inserter has been modified slightly to correspond with the anchor changes. No other changes are being made to the inserters or other instrumentation that may be used during a procedure.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Responsive Arthroscopy Mustang Knotless Suture Anchors, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided document unfortunately does not list specific numerical acceptance criteria or detailed numerical results for each test. Instead, it makes a general statement that "All testing met acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the devices met design specifications and performed as intended."

    Test NameAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Insertion Force TestingNot explicitly stated (likely internal design specifications for ease of insertion and prevention of damage)Met acceptance criteria, performed as intended
    Insertion Torque TestingNot explicitly stated (likely internal design specifications for secure placement and prevention of damage)Met acceptance criteria, performed as intended
    Cyclic Pullout Force TestingNot explicitly stated (likely internal design specifications for mechanical durability and fixation strength over repeated loading)Met acceptance criteria, performed as intended
    Suture Locking Force TestingNot explicitly stated (likely internal design specifications for secure suture retention under tension)Met acceptance criteria, performed as intended

    2. Sample Sized Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document only mentions that "bench testing was performed on the subject devices" without detailing the number of units tested.
    • Data Provenance: The studies were retrospective in the sense that they were conducted on the developed device. The data is internal to the manufacturer (Responsive Arthroscopy LLC) and generated through controlled bench testing rather than patient data. Country of origin for the data is implicitly the United States, given the company's location and FDA submission.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

    This section is not applicable as the studies conducted were bench testing (mechanical performance tests) on inert medical devices, not clinical studies involving patient data that would require interpretation by medical experts to establish a "ground truth." The ground truth for these tests is the physical measurement of force or torque.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. Bench testing results are objective measurements and do not typically involve adjudication by experts.

    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 section is not applicable. The device is a physical medical implant (suture anchors), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and the concept of improving human reader performance with AI are irrelevant.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical implant and does not involve any algorithms or AI for its function.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for the performance testing mentioned in the document is the physical measurement of the mechanical properties of the suture anchors. This includes:

    • Measurement of forces required for insertion.
    • Measurement of torque generated during insertion.
    • Measurement of resistance to cyclic pullout force.
    • Measurement of force required for suture locking.

    These are direct physical quantities measured using laboratory equipment, not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This section is not applicable. The device is a physical medical implant, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no concept of a "training set." The design and materials are based on established engineering principles and prior predicate devices.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

    Device Description

    The Responsive Arthroscopy Thunderbolt System is a knotless system for the fixation of soft tissue to bone. The system includes a suture-button implant assembly made of Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136 and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, an implantable two holed plate made of Ti-6Al-4V EU per ASTM F136, and instrumentation including drills and drivers. The implants and single-use instruments are provided sterile, and the reusable instruments are non-sterile and are to be sterilized by the end user.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) summary for the Responsive Arthroscopy Thunderbolt System does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets them in the context of an AI/ML powered medical device.

    The document describes a traditional medical device (a suture-button implant system) for soft tissue to bone fixation. The performance testing mentioned is for the physical characteristics of this implant, not for an AI algorithm's diagnostic or predictive capabilities.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding AI/ML device performance, sample sizes, ground truth, expert qualifications, adjudication, or MRMC studies from this text. The "Performance Testing" section lists typical tests for an implantable medical device, such as static and cyclic pullout force, suture characterization, biocompatibility, sterility, packaging, shelf-life, and pyrogenicity. These are not relevant to the acceptance criteria for an AI/ML system's diagnostic or prognostic performance.

The system includes a variety of anchors made of polyetheretherketone per ASTM F2026 (PEEK) along with repair suture tape, inserters, drills, broaches, and guides.

    The only differences in the subject device are regarding suture geometry, anchor body geometry, and internal screw geometry. The RA Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System anchors are available in a variety of geometries and configurations to accommodate various procedures and patient anatomies. RA Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System anchors range in diameter from 3.5mm to 4.75mm and are either pre-loaded with or accept #2 suture or 2.5mm suture tape.

    The RA Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System anchors are pre-loaded on inserters and provided sterilized with ethylene oxide. The RA Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System reusable instruments are non-sterile and are to be sterilized by the end user.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the "Responsive Arthroscopy Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than proving the device meets acceptance criteria in a clinical study. Therefore, several of your requested points related to clinical study design, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, and reader studies are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.

    The FDA 510(k) process for Class II medical devices like this one typically relies on bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, not extensive clinical trials with human subjects to prove performance metrics in the way you've outlined for diagnostic AI.

    Here's a breakdown of the information that is available and a note on what is not:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The submission demonstrates substantial equivalence through various performance tests, but it does not specify explicit "acceptance criteria" in a numerical sense as one would expect for a diagnostic AI study (e.g., AUC > 0.9, sensitivity > 90%). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) are generally that the new device performs as well as or better than the predicate device, or at least does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns, for its intended use. The performance reported aims to support this substantial equivalence.

    Performance CharacteristicReported Device Performance (Responsive Arthroscopy Knotless Push-In Suture Anchor System)Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence to Predicate K180951)
    Insertion ForceTested. (Details not provided in summary)Comparable to or safer than predicate, demonstrating appropriate ease of use and placement.
    Static & Cyclic Pullout ForceTested. (Details not provided in summary)Comparable to or better than predicate, demonstrating sufficient strength for soft tissue to bone fixation under various loading conditions, without introducing new risks.
    Suture Locking ForceTested. (Details not provided in summary)Comparable to or better than predicate, ensuring secure fixation of suture.
    Suture CharacterizationTested (reference to previously cleared devices K100006, K153307)Sutures meet established standards for strength, biocompatibility, etc.
    BiocompatibilityRisk Assessment performed. (Details not provided in summary)Device components (PEEK anchors, sutures) are biocompatible per relevant standards, posing no new biological risk.
    Bacterial EndotoxinRisk Assessment performed. (Details not provided in summary)Endotoxin levels are controlled to be safe for implantation.
    Sterilization, Cleaning, and Shelf-LifeAdoptions performed. (Details not provided in summary)Sterilization method is effective and validated, cleaning instructions are adequate for reusable components, and shelf-life is established.

    Study Proving Substantial Equivalence:

    The provided document describes a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification submission, which is a regulatory pathway to demonstrate that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. The "study" in this context refers to the collection of bench testing and risk assessments performed to support this claim.


    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated numerically for each test. Bench testing involves a certain number of samples, but these are material/device samples, not patient data.
    • Data Provenance: The "data" comes from bench testing (laboratory mechanical tests) of the device components and system. It is not clinical data from patients, so concepts like "country of origin" or "retrospective/prospective" patient data do not apply.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

    Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic AI study involving expert radiologists/pathologists. The "ground truth" for bench testing is derived from established engineering and materials science principles, industry standards (e.g., ASTM F2026 for PEEK), and comparison to the predicate device's known performance.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There is no human interpretation of data in the sense of a diagnostic study that would require adjudication. Bench test results are quantitative measurements.


    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 study of AI assistance or human reader performance.


    6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This device is a mechanical surgical implant, not an algorithm or AI system.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this regulatory submission is based on:

    • Performance standards and literature: Established engineering principles, material properties (e.g., ASTM F2026 for PEEK), and industry standards for surgical implants.
    • Predicate device performance: The performance of the Responsive Arthroscopy Suture Anchor System (K180951) serves as the primary benchmark.
    • Risk assessment: Evaluation against known biological and mechanical risks associated with similar devices.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is not an AI or machine learning device requiring a training set.


    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable.


    Summary of Device and Regulatory Context:

    The "Responsive Arthroscopy Knotless Push-In Suture Anchors" are intended for surgical fixation of soft tissue to bone in various joints (shoulder, foot/ankle, hip, knee, hand/wrist, elbow). Key features mentioned are:

    • Made of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) per ASTM F2026.
    • Available in 3.5mm to 4.75mm diameters.
    • Pre-loaded with or accept #2 suture or 2.5mm suture tape (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene).
