KNEE FUSION NAIL
Knee Fusion Nails are intended for intramedullary knee arthrodesis.
The Knee Fusion Nail is inserted in the medullary canal of long bones for knee arthrodesis. The Knee Fusion Nail features holes/slots on both ends of the nail for optional locking screws. The nails and screws are made of Stainless Steel. The screws were previously cleared in 510(k) K983942.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting study for the Knee Fusion Nail, formatted as requested:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Performance Metric) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Bending Strength | Equivalent or superior to predicate Knee Fusion Nails (K893377 and K983942) |
| Flexural Rigidity | Equivalent or superior to predicate Knee Fusion Nails (K893377 and K983942) |
| Yield Strength | Equivalent or superior to predicate Knee Fusion Nails (K893377 and K983942) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The review states "an analysis of bending strength and flexural rigidity based on the cross-sectional geometry of the nail's shaft region and the material strength properties using hand calculations." This implies a theoretical analysis based on design specifications and material properties rather than a test performed on a sample set of physical devices. Therefore, a traditional "sample size" for a test set and associated data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not applicable to this type of analysis.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. The "ground truth" was established through engineering calculations and material property comparisons.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable. The analysis was based on engineering principles and material science, not expert consensus on observations.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as there was no test set requiring expert adjudication.
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 submission describes a device (Knee Fusion Nail) which is a physical implant, not a diagnostic or assistive technology that would be used by human readers for interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No, a standalone performance study was not done. The "device" in question is a physical medical implant, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation was established using engineering principles, material strength properties, and design specifications (cross-sectional geometry of the nail's shaft region). The performance of the subject device was then compared against these established properties for predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. The submission describes a physical medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no concept of a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. There was no training set.

KNEE FUSION NAIL
Knee Fusion Nails are for intramedullary knee arthrodesis.
A Knee Fusion Nail is inserted into the medullary canal of long bones for knee arthrodesis. The design of the Knee Fusion Nail is based on Smith & Nephew's (formally Richards Medical) experience with intramedullary nail systems, which dates back to the 1950's. The Knee Fusion Nail includes intramedullary interlocking nails with corresponding screws. The Knee Fusion Nail and corresponding screws are made of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy with holes/slots for optional locking screws on both ends of the nail. Locking screws are available for optional and distal locking. Screws are available in 5.0mm, and 6.4mm diameters with varying lengths. The screws were previously cleared in 510(k) K981529. The device is intended for single use.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Knee Fusion Nail". It states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, the document does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria for performance, clinical study data involving a test set, expert adjudication, or AI/human reader studies.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on regulatory approval based on substantial equivalence to existing devices, not on detailed performance metrics from a dedicated clinical study with specific acceptance criteria.
