Baby Gorilla/ Gorilla Plating System: The Baby Gorilla/Gorilla Plating System is comprised of bone plates, threaded bone screws, and washers. Gorilla Plates are offered in “mini” and “standard” set sizes in a variety of shapes based upon the anatomical fixation required. Screws are also offered in “mini” and “standard” sets and, in addition, in locking and non-locking versions. Size-matched washers are available for use with the non-locking screws when the latter are used for fixation without the plates. Size-matched plate washers are also available for use with plate holes when there is no desire to use a screw. The Baby Gorilla/Gorilla Plating System implants are manufactured from medical grade titanium (per ASTM F67), stainless steel (per ASTM E138) and titanium alloy (per ASTM. Monster Screw System: The Monster Screw System is comprised of threaded bone screws (Ti Alloy or Stainless Steel) offered in 2.0mm to 9.5mm diameters (in 0.5mm increments). In addition, a 2.7mm diameter is also part of the system. The overall screw length ranges from 8mm (for smaller diameters) thru 200mm (for larger diameters). The screws are available in a variety of designs including fully or partially threaded, self-drilling or blunt, cannulated or solid, and headed or headless. Sized-matched washers are also available.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for medical devices (Baby Gorilla/Gorilla Plating System and Monster Screw System), which are orthopedic implants. This type of FDA submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than proving performance based on clinical studies or AI algorithm performance.

Therefore, the document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria for an AI device, nor does it describe a study involving AI performance metrics, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies. The performance testing mentioned specifically refers to "Bacterial endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, and a cleaning Performance validation," which are standard tests for demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the physical device itself (implants) and its sterility, not for evaluating an AI algorithm.

Since the request is to describe the "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of an AI device, and the provided document is entirely about physical orthopedic implants and their substantial equivalence to predicates, I cannot fulfill the request using only the given input.

The document implicitly states that the acceptance criteria relate to demonstrating substantial equivalence for the new sterile-packed offerings of the screws, plates, and washers to the previously cleared non-sterile or differently-packaged versions of the same devices. The study proving this is the submission itself, which likely included documentation of the manufacturing process changes (sterilization, packing) and the performance testing mentioned (endotoxin, sterilization, cleaning validation) to show that these changes do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

However, none of this relates to AI, machine learning, or image analysis, which the prompt heavily implies with terms like "AI vs without AI assistance," "standalone algorithm performance," "ground truth," and "expert concensus."

This document describes the regulatory clearance of a medical device, the "Monster Screw System," not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the information typically requested regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies for an AI/ML device (e.g., sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) is not applicable and not present in the provided text.

The document states: "Clinical testing was not necessary to support equivalence." This indicates that no clinical performance study, as would be required for AI/ML device validation, was conducted or submitted for this device's 510(k) clearance.

The clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, meaning the new device has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate, and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The non-clinical testing performed focuses on material, manufacturing, and sterilization properties, not a performance evaluation in a clinical setting against a specific diagnostic or clinical outcome acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of AI/ML performance, as such a study was not performed for this device's clearance.

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Paragon 28 Monster Screw System™. It describes the device and its intended use, but it does not contain the kind of detailed performance study data you're asking for regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth (which is typically for diagnostic devices), or comparative effectiveness studies.

This submission is for a bone fixation fastener, which is a hardware device, not a diagnostic AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions about "acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are typically addressed through mechanical testing and equivalence to predicate devices, rather than clinical performance metrics, ground truth established by experts, or AI-specific study designs like MRMC or standalone performance.

However, I can extract the information that is present and note where the requested information is not applicable or not provided in this type of document.

Here's the relevant information based on the provided text:

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

This document does not specify formal "acceptance criteria" in terms of clinical performance metrics, as would be common for diagnostic devices. Instead, the performance is demonstrated through theoretical comparisons to predicate devices for mechanical equivalence.

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 for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary for a mechanical device. The "test set" here refers to theoretical comparisons and bench testing, not a clinical study with a patient sample size.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "theoretical comparisons" would be based on engineering principles and potentially prior testing data of predicate devices.

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 not a diagnostic device where "ground truth" would be established by experts interpreting images or clinical outcomes. The equivalence is based on engineering and material science.

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

• Not applicable. There is no adjudication needed for mechanical equivalence testing as described here.

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 hardware bone fixation device, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. An MRMC study is not relevant.

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

• Not applicable. This is a hardware device; there is no algorithm or AI component.

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

• Not applicable. As noted, "ground truth" as typically defined for diagnostic performance is not relevant for this type of device submission. The "truth" is established through engineering specifications and mechanical testing to demonstrate equivalence.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.

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

• Not applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" in this context.

Therefore, many of the typical AI/SaMD study parameters (like multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone performance, training sets, ground truth methodology for AI models, etc.) are not applicable in this context. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" refer to mechanical performance testing against established industry standards.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify the exact number of screws or tests performed. It generically states "Mechanical testing of the worst case Monster Screws."
• Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of mechanical testing of physical devices. The testing was performed on newly manufactured devices.

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

Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical testing is established by compliance with a predetermined engineering standard (ASTM F543), not by expert human interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable for mechanical testing. Data is quantitative and compared directly to the specified standard.

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 study was not done. This device is a bone fixation screw system, not an AI/SaMD.

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

This standard provides quantitative thresholds and methodologies for measuring torsion, insertion/removal force, and pullout strength.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for mechanical testing of physical devices.

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

Not applicable. There is no training set.

Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:

The study conducted to demonstrate that the Monster Screw System™ meets the acceptance criteria was focused on mechanical performance testing.

• Study Design: Mechanical testing was performed on "worst case Monster Screws." The specific test methodologies were in accordance with ASTM F543.
• Tests Performed:
  • Torsion testing
  • Insertion/removal testing
  • Pullout testing
• Acceptance Criteria: The device's performance was considered acceptable if its mechanical properties (torsion, insertion/removal, pullout) were "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, as demonstrated by the results of the ASTM F543 tests. This implies that the measured values met or exceeded the performance of the predicate devices in these defined mechanical parameters, which themselves would have been shown to meet the ASTM F543 standard.
• Results: The mechanical test results, along with "theoretical comparisons," "demonstrated that the Monster Screw System™ mechanical performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
• Conclusion: Based on these mechanical tests, the sponsor concluded that the device possesses the same technological characteristics (including performance) as the predicate devices and is therefore substantially equivalent for its intended use.
