The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regarding several DePuy Synthes Craniomaxillofacial Neuro Devices. It describes changes to the labeling of these devices to indicate "MR Conditional" use.
The document consistently states that the purpose of the submission is to add MR Conditional information to the device labeling. It explicitly mentions that the intended use and technological characteristics of the devices remain unchanged. This implies that the devices are already cleared for their stated indications and the current submission is concerned with demonstrating their safety in an MR environment.
Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to the non-clinical performance testing conducted to support the MR Conditional safety of the devices. This is not a study proving clinical effectiveness or diagnostic accuracy of an AI/algorithm-based device, but rather a set of engineering tests to confirm a physical device's compatibility with an MR environment.
Based on the provided text, here's how to address your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document repeatedly cites the ASTM standards as the basis for performance testing, which inherently contain acceptance criteria within them. The document does not provide specific quantitative performance results for each device against these criteria, but rather states that "Non-clinical testing is provided to support the conditional safety." This implies that the devices met the acceptance criteria defined by these ASTM standards.
| Acceptance Criteria (ASTM Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Magnetically Induced Displacement Force: ASTM F2052-14 | Non-clinical testing provided to support conditional safety. (Implied: Met standard) |
| Magnetically Induced Torque: ASTM F2213-06 | Non-clinical testing provided to support conditional safety. (Implied: Met standard) |
| Radio Frequency (RF) Heating: ASTM F2182-11a | Non-clinical testing provided to support conditional safety. The DUKE model places devices in the clinically relevant anatomic position. The DUKE results will be used for labeling of RF heating. (Implied: Met standard) |
| Image Artifacts: ASTM F2119-07 | Non-clinical testing provided to support conditional safety. (Implied: Met standard) |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the number of individual devices or prototypes tested for each type of assessment (displacement, torque, heating, artifacts). These are engineering tests typically performed on representative samples.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is "non-clinical testing" conducted by the manufacturer, DePuy Synthes. The "DUKE model" for RF heating is mentioned, which is a widely accepted phantom model for electromagnetic simulations in medical device testing. There's no information about the country of origin of the data beyond it being part of a US FDA submission. It is a prospective test in the sense that the testing was conducted to support the MR Conditional labeling.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This question is not applicable in the context of this submission. The "ground truth" for MR Conditional safety is established by engineering tests against recognized consensus standards (ASTM), not by human expert review of clinical cases. The tests directly measure physical properties like temperature increase or magnetic force, and these measurements are compared to the limits specified in the standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. This is not a human reader study requiring adjudication. The assessment is based on objective physical measurements and adherence to ASTM standards.
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 submission is for physical medical devices (implants), not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or assistive software. No MRMC study was performed because the device is not an AI reading tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm, so standalone performance is irrelevant. The tests are for the physical properties of the implants.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the physical laws and empirically derived thresholds outlined in the ASTM standards for MR compatibility. For example, a certain temperature rise in a standard phantom model is deemed acceptable if it remains below a specified limit.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set.

The provided document, K192655, is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for DePuy Synthes Maxillofacial Portfolio - MR Conditional. This type of submission is a declaration from the manufacturer to the FDA that their device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, and it does not typically involve clinical performance studies with acceptance criteria as one would find for novel AI/ML medical devices.
Instead, the provided document focuses on demonstrating MR Conditional safety for a portfolio of existing maxillofacial bone plates and screw systems that were previously cleared by the FDA. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described herein relate to non-clinical electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing in an MR environment, not clinical performance for diagnostic or therapeutic accuracy of an AI/ML algorithm.
Therefore, the requested information elements related to AI/ML device performance (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this specific submission.
Here's a breakdown of the information that is available and relevant to the document's purpose:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for MR Conditional Safety (Non-Clinical)
The submission aims to add "MR Conditional" labeling to a portfolio of maxillofacial devices. This requires demonstrating that the devices are safe for use in a specified MR environment under defined conditions. The "acceptance criteria" for this type of submission are typically based on recognized international consensus standards for testing the MR compatibility of medical devices.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document consistently references the following ASTM standards for non-clinical testing to support MR Conditional safety across all listed devices:
| Acceptance Criteria (based on ASTM Standards) | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Magnetically Induced Displacement Force: (ASTM F2052-14) | Non-clinical testing was conducted to assess magnetically induced displacement force. |
| Magnetically Induced Torque: (ASTM F2213-06) | Non-clinical testing was conducted to assess magnetically induced torque. |
| Radiofrequency (RF) Heating: (ASTM F2182-11a) | Non-clinical testing was conducted to assess radio frequency (RF) heating. The DUKE model was used for clinically relevant anatomic positioning, and DUKE results will be used for labeling of RF heating. |
| Image Artifacts: (ASTM F2119-07) | Non-clinical testing was conducted to assess image artifacts. |
Note: The document states that "Non-clinical testing is provided to support the conditional safety..." for each of these parameters. While it doesn't provide specific quantitative results (e.g., exact temperature rise in °C, or N/A for displacement/torque if deemed safe), the acceptance of the 510(k) by the FDA implies that the results of these tests met the predefined safety thresholds for an MR Conditional designation as per the referenced ASTM standards. The specific numerical results (e.g., maximum temperature rises, displacement forces, etc.) would be detailed in the full test reports submitted to the FDA, which are not part of this public summary.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: For non-clinical MR compatibility testing, the "sample size" refers to the number of device units tested. The document does not specify the exact number of physical devices or models tested for each parameter. However, standard practice for such assessments involves testing representative samples of each device type (plates, screws, meshes, distractors) and material compositions (titanium, titanium alloy) to ensure the portfolio's MR safety.
- Data Provenance: The data is "non-clinical testing" conducted by the manufacturer (Synthes - DePuy Synthes). The country of origin for the testing itself is not explicitly stated in this summary, but it would typically be conducted in a laboratory setting compliant with relevant international standards. This is retrospective in the sense that the studies were performed specifically to characterize the existing devices for MR compatibility.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
- Not Applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of physical device properties in an MR environment, not a clinical study involving expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes. The "ground truth" for MR safety is established by adherence to recognized ASTM testing standards and the physical properties of the materials and device in situ within the MR scanner, not by human expert consensus or annotations on medical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not Applicable. As this is non-clinical testing of physical device characteristics, there is no "adjudication" in the sense of resolving discrepancies between human readers or AI outputs. The test results are objective measurements against standard-defined thresholds.
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 submission is not for an AI-powered device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This submission is not for an AI-powered device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Physical Measurements against ASTM Standard Thresholds: The "ground truth" for MR Conditional safety is determined by rigorous physical measurements (e.g., temperature changes, displacement forces, torque, observable image artifacts) obtained through standardized testing protocols (ASTM F2052-14, F2213-06, F2182-11a, F2119-07) and comparison against acceptance limits defined by these standards or applicable regulatory guidance. It's about validating the device's behavior in an MR field, not diagnosing a condition. The "DUKE model" for RF heating indicates a high-fidelity computational human body model used for simulating temperature distributions due to RF fields.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. There is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for AI/ML, this question doesn't apply.

The DePuy Synthes 2.4mm LCP Straight Wrist Plate is intended for Colles' and distal radius fractures with dorsal angulation of the distal fragment.
The 2.4mm LCP Straight Wrist Plate is designed for distal radius fractures with severe comminution requiring prolonged fixation, as an alternative to external fixation. Applied to the dorsal aspect of the wrist, the plate restores length and neutralizes loads on the consolidating fracture fragments.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically the DePuy Synthes 2.4mm LCP Straight Wrist Plate. However, this document is a letter from the FDA regarding the substantial equivalence of a new version of an existing device (a sterile-packaged version) to an already cleared predicate device.
Crucially, this document states that "Clinical data was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence." This means that there was no clinical study, algorithm performance evaluation, or human reader study performed for this specific submission to demonstrate the device's efficacy or safety. The acceptance criteria and performance data typically requested for AI/ML-based medical devices or devices requiring clinical evidence are therefore not present in this document.
The "acceptance criteria" here refers to the FDA's regulatory criteria for determining substantial equivalence, not performance metrics of a device in a study. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context is the non-clinical performance testing that verifies the sterile packaging does not affect safety or performance, and the comparison to the predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot provide the detailed information requested in your prompt as it pertains to clinical performance and AI/ML model evaluation. The document specifically indicates that such data was not required for this particular submission.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The provided text only mentions "non-clinical testing" and does not specify a sample size for a "test set" in the context of patient data. The tests are for the device itself (e.g., individual plates, screws) to assess its physical and magnetic properties. Therefore, the "sample size" would refer to the number of device components tested, which is not provided.
The data provenance is from non-clinical testing, meaning it's laboratory-based testing of the physical device components, not human patient data. There is no information regarding country of origin or whether it's retrospective or prospective, as these are typically applicable to clinical studies.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This question is not applicable. The ground truth for these tests is defined by the standards themselves (ASTM F2052-14, F2213-06, F2182-11a, F2119-07). The performance of the device against these standards is measured by engineers or technicians, not by medical experts establishing a clinical ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document consistently refers to "non-clinical testing" and the use of the "DUKE model" for RF heating. This indicates that the testing was performed on physical devices (samples) in a laboratory setting. No specific sample sizes for the devices themselves are given, as typically MR compatibility testing involves a representative sample of each device type/configuration. The data provenance is non-clinical laboratory testing. There is no mention of human subject data or data from a specific country of origin in this context.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable to the type of study described. The testing is non-clinical, measuring physical properties and reactions of the devices in an MRI environment. Ground truth, in the sense of clinical interpretations by experts, is not established for this type of test. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the established scientific and engineering principles behind MR safety and the specified ASTM standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This is not applicable. The non-clinical testing involves objective measurements taken according to standardized protocols (ASTM standards), not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for MR Conditional labeling based on non-clinical safety testing, not for evaluating the diagnostic effectiveness of human readers with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No, this is not an AI/algorithm study. The document describes non-clinical testing of physical medical devices for MRI compatibility.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for this non-clinical study is based on:
- Scientific and engineering principles defined in ASTM standards: These standards (ASTM F2052-14, ASTM F2213-06, ASTM F2182-11a, ASTM F2119-07) define the acceptable limits for various MR safety parameters (e.g., displacement, torque, heating, artifacts).
- Physical measurements and observations from the laboratory testing of the devices.
- Anatomical modeling (DUKE model): For RF heating, the DUKE model is mentioned, indicating the use of a computational human body model to simulate heat distribution in a clinically relevant anatomical position.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not detail a "test set" in the context of clinical or algorithmic performance. The testing described is non-clinical performance testing on the devices themselves to assess their safety in an MR environment. Therefore, information about human data provenance, sample size of a test set, etc., is not applicable to this type of study.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
Not Applicable. As this is non-clinical performance testing for MR safety, there is no "test set" that requires expert ground truth establishment in the traditional sense of medical image analysis or diagnosis. The "ground truth" here is the physical interaction of the device with the MR environment as measured by standardized tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not Applicable. There is no "test set" requiring adjudication by experts. The performance is measured against established engineering standards for MR safety.
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. The document describes non-clinical performance testing for MR safety of physical implants and wires. It does not involve any AI, human readers, or a comparative effectiveness study.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No. The document describes non-clinical performance testing of physical medical devices, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Here's an organized breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The acceptance criteria for "MR Conditional" labeling are based on established ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. The reported device performance is that the devices meet these standards.
| Acceptance Criteria (based on ASTM Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Magnetically Induced Displacement Force: (ASTM F2052-14) | The non-clinical data demonstrate the subject devices raise no new questions of safety or efficacy. |
| Magnetically Induced Torque: (ASTM F2213-06) | The non-clinical data demonstrate the subject devices raise no new questions of safety or efficacy. |
| Radio Frequency (RF) Heating: (ASTM F2182-11a) | The non-clinical data demonstrate the subject devices raise no new questions of safety or efficacy. |
| Image Artifacts: (ASTM F2119-07) | The non-clinical data demonstrate the subject devices raise no new questions of safety or efficacy. |
Explanation: For each device covered under this 510(k) submission, the document explicitly states: "Non-clinical testing is provided to support the conditional safety of the [Device Name] in the MR environment including assessment of magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-14) and torque (ASTM F2213-06), radio frequency (RF) heating (ASTM F2182-11a), and image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07). The non-clinical performance data demonstrate that the subject devices, when exposed to the MR environment under specific MR conditions of use, raise no new questions of safety or efficacy." This indicates that the devices met the requirements of these ASTM standards, thus satisfying the acceptance criteria for MR Conditional labeling.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document primarily refers to non-clinical testing. This type of testing typically involves physical device samples rather than human or animal subjects for evaluating MR compatibility. The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the devices tested for MR compatibility. The provenance is implied to be through laboratory testing under controlled conditions as per ASTM standards. There is no mention of country of origin of data in this context.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
This information is not provided in the document. For non-clinical testing of MR compatibility, the "ground truth" is typically established by the specifications of the ASTM standards themselves, interpreted and performed by testing engineers or technicians with expertise in medical device testing and MR safety. No specific number or qualifications of such experts are mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not provided in the document. As the testing is non-clinical and based on quantitative ASTM standards, a human adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1) is typically not applicable. The results would be objectively evaluated against the pass/fail criteria defined by the ASTM standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission focuses on the "MR Conditional" status of the orthopedic plates and screws, which relates to their physical properties in an MR environment, not their diagnostic performance or how they impact human reader interpretation. Therefore, there is no mention of an effect size for human readers with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
Not applicable. The device is a physical orthopedic implant (plates and screws), not an algorithm or an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, there is no "standalone performance" of an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth for the non-clinical MR compatibility testing is based on established testing standards (ASTM F2052-14, ASTM F2213-06, ASTM F2182-11a, and ASTM F2119-07). These standards define the methods and acceptance criteria for classifying a device as "MR Conditional."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. As the tests are non-clinical, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models. The testing involves physical samples under controlled conditions.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable. No training set was used.

The DePuy Synthes Wire Mount is intended for use with cerclage wire to augment fracture stabilization with plates used in long bone fixation when the use of screws is contraindicated, as in the presence of intramedullary implants.
The Wire Mount is designed for use in dynamic compression screw holes that accept a 4.5 mm bone screw. The Wire Mount (and cerclage wire) can be used with a variety of plates that include, but are not limited to the following. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) Plates, Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) Plates, Condylar Buttress Plates, Hook Plates, 4.5 mm Narrow and Broad Dynamic Compression Plates (DCP), 90° Child and Adolescent Osteotomy Plates, 110-130° Adult Osteotomy Plates, and 95° Condylar and 130° Angle Blade Plates (both including small stature plates).
The DePuy Synthes Cerclage Positioning Pins are intended for use with cerclage monofilament wire and multifilament cable to augment fracture stabilization with plates used in long bone fixation when the use of screws is contraindicated, as in the presence of intramedullary implants.
Cerclage Positioning Pins are designed for use with plates having locking compression or dynamic compression screw holes that accept a 3.5 mm or 4.5 mm bone screws. The Cerclage Positioning Pin (and cerclage wire or cable) can be used with a variety of Synthes plates.
The DePuy Synthes 5.0 mm and 7.3 mm Crimp Positioning Pins are designed to fit into the screw holes of existing DePuy Synthes fixation plates for the purpose of providing a guide for Cerclage cable positioning as well as a crimping point for Cerclage cable tension fixation. The Crimp Positioning pins are available in versions composed of implant quality stainless steel and titanium.

The Wire Mount is intended for use with cerclage wire to augment fracture stabilization with plates when use of screws is contraindicated, as in the presence of intramedullary implants. The design is a "T" post with a hole perpendicular to the post axis, and a small triangular ridge on the bottom. Placing the post through the dynamic compression screw hole, inserting from the bone side of the plate, creates a stable structure for cerclage wire fixation. The cerclage wire is passed around the bone, through the wire mount hole above the outer surface of the plate, and then twisted with the opposite wire end.
The design of the cerclage positioning pin is an oval body with a hole running perpendicular to the long axis (for use in compression holes), and has a stud protruding from the bottom. By placing the post through the top of the dynamic compression screw hole into a pre-drilled hole in cortical bone a stable structure is created for cerclage wire or cable fixation. The wire or cable is passed around the bone, through the Cerclage Positioning Pin hole above the outer plate surface, and then the wire is twisted or cable is crimped for final securement.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for DePuy Synthes' MR Conditional Positioning Pins. The primary purpose of this submission is to add MR Conditional information to the device labeling, indicating that the devices are safe for use in an MR environment under specified conditions. The intended use and technological characteristics of the devices remain unchanged from their previously cleared versions.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The acceptance criteria are established by adherence to specific ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for evaluating medical devices in Magnetic Resonance (MR) environments. The reported device performance indicates that the devices meet these standards, demonstrating safety under specified MR conditions.
| Acceptance Criteria (ASTM Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Magnetically Induced Displacement Force (ASTM F2052-14) | Demonstrated conditional safety (No significant displacement) |
| Magnetically Induced Torque (ASTM F2213-06) | Demonstrated conditional safety (No significant torque) |
| Radio Frequency (RF) Heating (ASTM F2182-11a) | Demonstrated conditional safety (Acceptable temperature rise) |
| Image Artifacts (ASTM F2119-07) | Demonstrated conditional safety (Acceptable artifact levels) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the test set. However, it indicates that testing was performed on "the subject devices" and "the construct" (referring to the device in combination with other materials/implants, where applicable). The data provenance is non-clinical, meaning the testing was conducted in a laboratory setting, not on human subjects. There is no information regarding the country of origin of the data. Given the context of a 510(k) submission to the FDA, it is highly likely these tests were conducted in the US or in a manner compliant with US regulatory requirements. The testing is prospective in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to evaluate the MR compatibility of the devices.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This submission relies on non-clinical testing and established ASTM standards. Therefore, there are no "experts" in the sense of medical professionals establishing a clinical ground truth for a test set. The "ground truth" is defined by the parameters and acceptance limits set forth in the ASTM standards themselves, which are developed by consensus among experts in the field of MR safety and material science.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
Not applicable. This is not a human-reader study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations. The tests are physical measurements and observations against pre-defined ASTM standards.
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 submission is for MR Conditional orthopedic implants, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was performed as it is irrelevant to the device's function or regulatory pathway.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a medical device (orthopedic pin), not a software algorithm. The "standalone" performance refers to the inherent physical properties and behavior of the device in an MR environment, as detailed in the non-clinical testing.
7. The type of ground truth used:
The ground truth for this evaluation is defined by:
- Established ASTM Standards: These are industry-recognized protocols and acceptance criteria for evaluating MR safety. They represent a consensus on what constitutes acceptable performance for medical devices in an MR environment.
- Physical Measurements and Observations: The tests involved direct physical measurements (e.g., temperature, displacement, torque) and visual observations (e.g., image artifacts) of the devices under controlled MR conditions.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set. The performance is evaluated through material properties and physical testing.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
