The OsteoCentric Bone Plate and Screw System
The OsteoCentric Bone Plate and Screw is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and nonunions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, and fibula, including, but not limited to periarticular, and intraarticular fractures
The subject system is a line extension that includes clavices (superior lateral, anterior mideral, and anterior midshaft) and additional locking and non-locking screws (2.1mm, and 2.7mm diameter). The plates and screws are fabricated from either medical grade stainless steel per ASTM F138 or Titanium per ASTM F136. Plates and screws are provided non-sterile. Instruments are provided non-sterile with instructions for sterilization.
This FDA 510(k) clearance letter is for a physical medical device (The OsteoCentric Bone Plate and Screw System), not an AI/Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). Therefore, the specific information requested in your prompt regarding AI/SaMD performance criteria, such as acceptance criteria based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, training/test sets, and ground truth establishment, is not applicable to this document.
For traditional medical devices like the OsteoCentric Bone Plate and Screw System, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are typically addressed through non-clinical performance testing (e.g., mechanical testing, biocompatibility, sterilization validation) and comparison to predicate devices, rather than clinical studies involving human readers or AI algorithms.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the non-clinical testing and conclusions provided in the document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't present a formal table of acceptance criteria with numerical targets and reported performance in the way an AI/SaMD submission would. Instead, it states:
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Intermediate screw sizes do not present a new worst-case. | "Engineering analysis was performed to demonstrate that the intermediate screw sizes did not present a new worst-case..." (This implies the performance of these new sizes is within acceptable limits compared to existing sizes, likely established through mechanical testing or a justifiable engineering rationale.) |
Clavicle plates have similar bending performance (strength and stiffness) compared to the predicates. | "...and also that the subject device clavicle plates had similar bending performance (strength and stiffness) compared to the predicates." (This implies that the measured strength and stiffness values of the new clavicle plates were within a range deemed equivalent or acceptable when compared to the established performance of the predicate devices, likely through standardized mechanical testing methods relevant to bone fixation.) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size: Not applicable. For mechanical testing of physical devices, "sample size" refers to the number of test articles (plates, screws) subjected to the engineering analyses. This specific number is not disclosed in the clearance letter but is part of the detailed test reports provided to the FDA.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The data comes from "Engineering analysis," which means laboratory testing and simulations performed on the device components themselves, not clinical data from patients or a specific country. This is in vitro data.
3. 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. Ground truth for mechanical performance is established through objective, quantifiable engineering measurements against predefined standards or predicate device performance, not expert consensus interpretation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations by multiple human readers, not for objective mechanical test results.
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 bone plate and screw system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The "ground truth" for this type of device's performance is based on objective engineering and mechanical properties (e.g., material strength, fatigue life, torsional rigidity, bending stiffness, screw pull-out strength). These properties are measured and evaluated against established industry standards (e.g., ASTM F138 for stainless steel, ASTM F136 for titanium) and/or comparison to predicate devices, which have a known history of safe and effective use.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
In summary, the FDA 510(k) clearance for The OsteoCentric Bone Plate and Screw System relies on non-clinical engineering analysis and comparison to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than the types of performance studies typically conducted for AI/SaMD products.

ARTFX Trauma Bone Plate and Screw System
The ARTFX Trauma Bone Plate and Screw System is indicated for fixation of upper extremity (humerus, olecranon, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges), lower extremity (femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges), pelvis, and clavicle fractures, fusions, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions and reconstructions. The ARTFX Trauma Bone Plate and Screw System is not intended for use in the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, nor for fixation of the sacroiliac joint. The system is intended for single use and for adult patients only.
The ARTFX 3.5 System is indicated for the fixation of upper extremity (humerus, olecranon, radius, ulna, metacarpal, phalangeal), fibula, foot (tarsal, metatarsal, phalangeal), pelvis, and clavicle fractures, fusions, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions and reconstructions.
The ARTFX 4.5 System is indicated for fixation of lower extremity (femur, tibia, fibula) and foot (tarsal, metatarsal, phalangeal) fractures, fusions, osteotomies, non-unions and reconstructions.
The ARTFX Mini-Plate System is indicated for fixation of hand (metacarpal, phalangeal) and foot (tarsal, metatarsal, phalangeal) fractures, fusions, osteotomies, malunions and reconstructions.
The subject ARTFX Trauma Bone Plate and Screw System is submitted as a bundled submission and consists of four sub-systems: the ARTFX 3.5 System, the ARTFX 4.5 System, the ARTFX Mini-Plate System, and the ARTFX Bone Screw System. The subject system consists of bone plates and screw that are used in the treatment of fractures, fusions, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions, and reconstructive surgeries of the upper extremity (humerus, olecranon, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges), lower extremity (femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges), pelvis, and clavicle. After fracture reduction, these devices provide stability and maintain the alignment of bone fragments throughout the healing process. Compression is used whenever possible to increase the contact area and stability between the fragments and reduce stress on the implant. Compression is achieved by using non-locking screws that are placed in compression slots or holes of the plate, allowing for compression of the bone fragments as the screws are tightened. The locking screws do not provide compression, as they are designed to lock into the plate and stabilize the bone fragments through fixed-angle constructs. The special feature of the subject devices is the free choice of screw placement. The user is able to set any desired screw in any hole (either using a locking or non-locking screw). The free choice of screw angulation provides an advantage in fracture treatment, especially in the case of complex fractures.
Generally, the subject plates are designed to the contour of their intended anatomical location and used with cortical, cancellous, non-locking, and cancellous subject screws. The subject bone plates and bone screws are manufactured from Titanium (Ti6Al4V-ELI) per ASTM F136. The subject devices are supplied non-sterile and must be steam-sterilized prior to use.

Advanced Bone Plate
The Advanced Bone Plate (AIMIMINI VARIABLE ANGLE LOCKING PLATES SYSTEM, ITVAL Foot & Ankle VAL System, and Distal Fibular VAL Plate) is internal fixation. Specific indications for the plates included in the system as follows:
The AIMIMINI VARIABLE ANGLE LOCKING PLATES SYSTEM is inticated for the internal fixation (fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, replantations and reconstructions) of the hand (metacarpals and phalanges) and wrist of adults and adolescents (age 12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or will not be crossed by fixation.
The ITVAL Foot & Ankle VAL System is internal fixation (fractures, osteotomies, fusions, nonunions, malunions, small fragment replantations) of the foot and ankle in adults and adolescents (age 12-21 years) possessing normal or osteopenic bone where growth plates have fused or will not be crossed by fixation.
The Distal Fibular VAL Plate is indicated for internal fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, malunions, small fragment replantations) of the distal fibula of adults and adolescents (age 12-21 years) where growth plates have fused or will not be crossed by fixation.
Advanced Bone Plate is mainly used for internal fixation of hand, wrist, foot, ankle and distal fibular fractures. According to the anatomical characteristics of human bones, locking plates of different shapes and locking screws of different diameters are designed. In clinical practice, locking bone plate and locking bone screw are used in combination to play the role of temporary internal stent, providing a stable local environment for fracture ends and creating conditions for the healing of fracture ends.
Bone plates in Advanced Bone Plate are made of titanium alloy following ASTM F1472, and bone screws in Advanced Bone Plate are made of titanium alloy following ASTM F136. Advanced Bone Plate is provided as non-sterile. The implants are intended for single-use only, while the instruments are reusable.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
Disclaimer: This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Advanced Bone Plate) and primarily focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices, rather than establishing de novo efficacy or setting new acceptance criteria. Therefore, the information provided will reflect this context.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly define quantitative "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a performance study with numerical targets. Instead, it aims to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" in terms of characteristics and performance to legally marketed predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is described through the successful completion of various non-clinical tests that show the device functions similarly to the predicate devices.
Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Substantial Equivalence Goal) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Device materials are safe for biological contact. | Evaluation conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, indicating compliance. |
Mechanical Performance (Plates): Bending stiffness, bending strength of plates consistent with predicate devices. | Performed mechanical tests per ASTM F382-17 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic bone plate and Three-point Bending Test Method) to determine Bending Stiffness, Bending Strength, and Bending Structural Stiffness, demonstrating substantial equivalence. |
Mechanical Performance (Screws): Torsion, insertion/removal, and pullout strength of screws consistent with predicate devices. | Performed mechanical tests per ASTM F543-17 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws) to determine Torsion Test, Insertion/removal Test, and Pullout Test, demonstrating substantial equivalence. |
Sterilization: Device can be effectively sterilized by the user to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10^-6. | Sterilization via Overkill Approach (Half-Cycle method) validated per ISO 17665-1:2006. (Device is non-sterile). |
Reprocessing (Cleaning): Reusable instruments and implants can be effectively cleaned. | Cleaning instructions validated per FDA guidance AAMI TIR30:2003. |
Technological Characteristics: Similar design features, materials, and indications for use as predicate devices. | Design Features: Variable angle locking technology, limited contact profiles, anatomic contours, and similar size ranges. Materials: Titanium alloy (plates per ASTM F1472, screws per ASTM F136). Both found to be substantially equivalent. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each mechanical test (e.g., number of plates or screws tested). It refers to standard ASTM methods (F382-17, F543-17) which would prescribe sample sizes.
- Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical, conducted in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer (Double Medical Technology Inc.) or a contracted lab. The data is thus prospective experimental data generated for the purpose of this submission.
- Country of Origin: Likely China, given the submitter's address.
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 in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "ground truth" for non-clinical mechanical testing is established by the specifications in the relevant ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM F382-17, ASTM F543-17) and successful execution according to those methods, rather than expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This section is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies or studies involving human readers where there's a need to resolve discrepancies in expert interpretations of data (e.g., imaging scans). For mechanical testing, the results are quantitative and objective, based on physical measurements and adherence to standard protocols.
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, a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices or AI-assisted diagnostic tools, not for a passive internal fixation device like a bone plate. The document explicitly states: "No clinical performance data was provided to demonstrate substantially equivalence."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No, a standalone performance study in the context of an algorithm or AI device was not done. This device is a physical implant, not a software algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for this device, within the scope of this 510(k), is established by:
- Accepted Industry Standards: Primarily ASTM F382-17 and ASTM F543-17 for mechanical properties, and ISO 10993-1, ISO 17665-1:2006, and AAMI TIR30:2003 for biocompatibility, sterilization, and reprocessing. These standards define the acceptable methods and performance benchmarks for such devices.
- Comparison to Predicate Devices: The core of a 510(k) relies on demonstrating that the new device performs as safely and effectively as a legally marketed predicate device. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is met if the new device's characteristics and performance fall within the established safety and efficacy profile of the predicates.
8. The sample size for the training set
This section is not applicable. This device is a physical bone plate, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Anatomic Bone Plate." It does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that an AI/software device meets those criteria. The submission is for a traditional medical device (an orthopedic implant), not a software device, and therefore the types of studies and acceptance criteria you are asking for (related to AI performance, ground truth, expert consensus, MRMC studies, etc.) are not applicable here.
The document discusses:
- Device Description: Anatomic Bone Plate, made of titanium alloy, for internal fixation of fractures.
- Indications for Use: Internal fixation of fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and mal/non-unions in various bones (clavicle, pelvis, upper and lower extremities).
- Comparison to Predicate Device: States substantial equivalence in regulatory classification, indications for use, materials, and design features to a predicate device (K130108).
- Non-Clinical Performance Data:
- Biocompatibility testing: Performed according to FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1".
- Mechanical testing: Performed per ASTM F382-17 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic bone plate) and a three-point bending test method to determine bending stiffness, strength, and structural stiffness. This is to demonstrate substantial equivalence in safety and efficacy.
- Clinical Data: States that "Clinical literature was provided to demonstrate substantially equivalence."
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/software device meets acceptance criteria, as this document pertains to a physical orthopedic implant and not a software device.

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Nebula Brand Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System and Nebula Brand of DHS Plating System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than proving the device meets acceptance criteria through a clinical study.
Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details cannot be extracted from this document, as it is not a clinical study report for device performance.
The non-clinical performance testing section briefly mentions:
- Non-Clinical Performance Testing: Performance was demonstrated through test parameters outlined in ASTM F-382 (Static and Dynamic Four Point Bend Testing) and ASTM F-384 (Static and Dynamic Four Point Bend Testing). Torsional and Axial pullout testing was conducted on the screws per ASTM F-543. These are standard test methods for mechanical properties of bone plates and screws. The document states that the performance is "similar" to predicate devices, implying that the results of these tests met a level comparable to the predicate devices, which is the basis for proving substantial equivalence.
Here's a breakdown of why many of your questions cannot be answered by this document:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not provided. The document focuses on demonstrating similarities to predicate devices based on design, materials, and non-clinical performance testing (mechanical properties). It doesn't present specific acceptance criteria in terms of clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy (which would be relevant for an AI/diagnostic device, not a bone fixation system).
- Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This document refers to mechanical testing of physical devices, not a test set of patient data.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for clinical data is not relevant to this type of device submission.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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 an AI/diagnostic device.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of clinical performance. The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be its mechanical properties meeting established standards (ASTM).
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary: This FDA 510(k) clearance letter and its associated summary are for a bone fixation system (plates and screws). The regulatory pathway for such devices typically relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices through material characterization, mechanical testing, and sometimes benchtop or animal studies. It does not involve clinical studies with patient data, AI, or human reader performance, which are common for diagnostic or AI/ML-based medical devices.

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for the MLP Special Locking Bone Plate System. This type of submission rarely contains the kind of detailed performance data and study information you're asking for, as the primary goal is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device.
Based on the provided document, here's what can and cannot be answered regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving those criteria:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Description | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Material Conformity | Device materials should conform to ASTM F136 (titanium). | All plates and screws are manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) in conformance with ASTM F136. |
Static and Dynamic 4-Point Plate Bending Tests (ASTM F382-17, Annex 1, 2 and 3) | Performance should demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices. | The results of these evaluations indicate that the MLP Special Locking Plate System is equivalent to the predicate devices. |
Screw Pull-Out Tests (ASTM F543-17) | Performance should demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices. | The results of these evaluations indicate that the MLP Special Locking Plate System is equivalent to the predicate devices. |
Screw Torque Tests (ASTM F543-17) | Performance should demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices. | The results of these evaluations indicate that the MLP Special Locking Plate System is equivalent to the predicate devices. |
Screw Torsion Tests (ASTM F543-17) | Performance should demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices. | The results of these evaluations indicate that the MLP Special Locking Plate System is equivalent to the predicate devices. |
Important Note: The document states that the MLP Special Locking Plate System is equivalent to the predicate devices based on these tests, but it does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria or detailed numerical results for any of these tests. For instance, it doesn't say "bending strength must be > X MPa" and then report "our device achieved Y MPa." It only states that the results "indicate equivalence."
Regarding "the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria":
The document describes non-clinical mechanical testing as the study that supports the substantial equivalence claim.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the document. The tests performed are ASTM F382-17 and ASTM F543-17, but the number of devices or components tested is not mentioned.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It's an in-vitro non-clinical test conducted by the manufacturer or a contracted lab. It is a retrospective analysis in the sense that the tests were performed to support the 510(k) submission, not as part of an ongoing clinical trial.
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 to this submission. The "ground truth" here is established by standardized mechanical testing protocols (ASTM). It's not a diagnostic device where expert interpretation of data generates a ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- This question is not applicable to this submission. Mechanical tests don't involve adjudication in this manner.
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is a bone plate system, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is the specified performance requirements and methods defined by the ASTM standards (ASTM F382-17 and ASTM F543-17). These standards define how the mechanical properties should be measured and likely include performance benchmarks (though the specific benchmarks are not reported in this document). The comparative aspect is against the performance of the predicate device(s).
8. The sample size for the training set
- This question is not applicable to this submission. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The design and validation of the device rely on engineering principles, material science, and mechanical testing.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- This question is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

The DARCO™ Locking Bone Plate system is comprised of a variety of titanium plates and screws designed for internal fixation of bone fragments. The plates are designed with rhombus (parallelogram) plates with an assortment of width, lengths, and configurations to address varying patient anatomy. The system includes locking and non-locking 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm diameter screws of various lengths.
This document is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the DARCO™ Locking Bone Plate System, essentially a premarket notification for a medical device. As such, it does not contain a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical or performance study with defined performance metrics and acceptance thresholds like those seen for AI/ML devices.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K061808 DARCO™ Locking Bone Plate System) through non-clinical testing and comparison of characteristics. The "acceptance criteria" here is met by demonstrating that the modified device performs at least as well as the predicate device in relevant non-clinical tests.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your points where applicable:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a substantial equivalence submission for a mechanical device, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by successful completion of mechanical and performance tests, demonstrating equivalence to the predicate. Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in the summary, but rather the conclusion that the testing supports substantial equivalence.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence to Predicate) | Reported Device Performance (Summary of Study Results) |
---|---|
Equivalent pullout strength | Testing performed, supports substantial equivalence. |
Equivalent insertion characteristics | Testing performed, supports substantial equivalence. |
Equivalent removal characteristics | Testing performed, supports substantial equivalence. |
Equivalent ultimate/yield strength | Testing performed, supports substantial equivalence. |
Equivalent screw head locking torques | Testing performed, supports substantial equivalence. |
No new types of questions of safety or effectiveness | Design characteristics do not raise new questions. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: Not specified in the provided summary. The summary refers to "testing" but does not give specific numbers of components tested.
- Data Provenance: The testing is "non-clinical" and likely conducted in a controlled lab environment by Wright Medical Technology, Inc. The country of origin and whether it's retrospective or prospective are not relevant for this type of non-clinical mechanical testing.
3. 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. This is a submission for a physical medical device (bone plate system), not an AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" here is mechanical performance as measured in lab tests.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device undergoing a clinical study with human readers/interpreters. The "adjudication" is based on comparing test results against established engineering standards or the predicate device's performance.
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 a physical medical device, not an AI system. No MRMC study was performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device, in the context of demonstrating substantial equivalence, is primarily mechanical and material properties as measured through standardized engineering tests (e.g., measuring pullout strength, torque, yield strength). The comparison is made against the performance of the legally marketed predicate device (K061808 DARCO™ Locking Bone Plate System) to demonstrate "at least as good as" performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
