    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The Femoral Trochanteric Nail System - Neonail is indicated for the treatment of stable and unstable fractures as well as for stabilization of bones and correction of bone deformities in the intracapsular, trochanteric and shaft regions of the femur.

    Device Description

    An intramedullary nail is a metal rod implanted into the medullary cavity of a bone to treat fractures that occur in long bones of the body. Femoral Trochanteric Nail System – Neonail consists of metal rods, bone screws, and end caps. The rods are cannulated and are provided with screw holes to accommodate screws of various diameters and lengths. The rods are available in a range of sizes used for specific anatomic locations and fracture configurations.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but based on the provided text, I cannot describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them with the level of detail requested. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (Femoral Trochanteric Nail System - Neonail), which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Here's why I cannot fulfill your request completely:

    • No acceptance criteria are explicitly stated in a tabular format. The document describes a comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence, not a set of specific performance acceptance criteria for the new device.
    • The document states "Clinical data were not submitted in this premarket notification." This means there was no clinical study conducted on the device to prove it meets clinical acceptance criteria. Instead, the submission relies on non-clinical data (engineering analysis, dimensional analysis, and mechanical testing) to show substantial equivalence.

    Therefore, I cannot provide information on:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    • Sample sizes for a test set or data provenance for a clinical study.
    • Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
    • Adjudication method for a test set.
    • A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
    • A standalone performance study based on clinical data.
    • The type of ground truth used from a clinical study.
    • Sample size for a training set (as no AI/machine learning component is mentioned or evaluated).
    • How ground truth for a training set was established.

    However, I can extract the following relevant information regarding the non-clinical data used for demonstrating substantial equivalence:

    1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Non-Clinical)

    While not in your requested format, the device's performance was evaluated against standards applicable to intramedullary fixation devices. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly meeting the requirements of these standards and demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards and Substantial Equivalence Claim)Reported Device Performance (Based on Non-Clinical Testing)
    Conformance to ASTM F1264 for Intramedullary Fixation Devices: Static Four-Point BendingThe "worst case nail" was subjected to static four-point bending and the "worst case screws" to static four-point bending according to ASTM F1264. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Conformance to ASTM F1264 for Intramedullary Fixation Devices: Static TorsionThe "worst case nail" was subjected to static torsion according to ASTM F1264. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Conformance to ASTM F1264 for Intramedullary Fixation Devices: Bending FatigueThe "worst case nail" was subjected to bending fatigue and the "worst case screws" to bending fatigue according to ASTM F1264. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Conformance to ASTM F384-17 for Metallic Angled Orthopedic Fracture Fixation Devices: Static BendingThe "worst case nail" was subjected to static bending according to ASTM F384-17. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Conformance to ASTM F384-17 for Metallic Angled Orthopedic Fracture Fixation Devices: Bending FatigueTthe "worst case nail" was subjected to bending fatigue according to ASTM F384-17. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Conformance to ASTM F543 for Metallic Bone Screws: Torsional Properties, Driving Torque, Axial Pullout Strength, Self-Tapping PerformanceThe "worst case screws" were subjected to torsional properties, driving torque, axial pullout strength, and self-tapping performance according to ASTM F543. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence).
    Cut-out Resistance Performance (for Trochanteric Nail/Trochanteric Sliding Screw construct)Cut-out testing was performed for the Trochanteric Nail/Trochanteric Sliding Screw construct based on the article by SOMMERS et al., 2004. (Implied successful conformance for substantial equivalence, specifically focusing on this critical mechanical aspect for trochanteric nails).
    Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device (K200869) in Indications, Design, Dimensions, Operating Principle, Materials, and PackagingThe submission claims the device has equivalent indications, design, dimensions, operating principle, basic design, materials, and similar packaging to the predicate device. Differences (lack of "U-Blade Lag Screw" and specific osteoporotic/osteopenic bone indication) were deemed not to raise new safety/effectiveness concerns, with the subject device's indications being a subset of the predicate's. This is the overarching "performance" demonstrated.

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

    • Test Set (Non-clinical): The document refers to "worst case nail" and "worst case screws" being subjected to testing. It doesn't specify the exact number of nails or screws tested beyond referencing "worst case." The data provenance is from non-clinical mechanical testing conducted by the manufacturer (Neoortho Produtos Ortopédicos SA). It is prospective in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically for this submission.

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

    • Not applicable. This information pertains to clinical studies, which were explicitly stated as "not submitted."

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable. This information pertains to retrospective clinical studies or expert consensus processes, neither of which were performed for this submission.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    • No. This type of study involves human readers interpreting cases, often with and without AI assistance, and was not performed.

    6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance):

    • No. This device is a physical medical implant, not an algorithm. The standalone performance refers to the device's mechanical integrity as tested against industry standards.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is established by engineering and mechanical testing standards (e.g., ASTM F1264, ASTM F384-17, ASTM F543) and a referenced scientific article for cut-out testing (SOMMERS et al., 2004). The "truth" is whether the device meets the physical requirements and behaviors defined by these standards.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. No training set is mentioned as this is a physical device, not an AI or machine learning model.

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

    • Not applicable. No training set is involved.

Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable to this type of submission.

    Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted from the provided text, and where the information is not applicable:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Mechanical strength equivalent to predicate"mechanically as strong as the predicate device."
    Substantially equivalent in:"substantially equivalent* to the predicate device in regards to indications for use, location, design characteristics, material, mechanical strength, and sterility."
    Safety and Effectiveness"is as safe and effective and performs as well as the predicate device"

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

    Not applicable. The submission is based on mechanical testing and comparison to a predicate device, not a human-data-based test set for device performance as would be seen in an AI/software device. There is no mention of a "test set" in the context of patient data.

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

    Not applicable. As noted above, there is no human-data-based "test set" and thus no ground truth established by experts in this submission.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There is no human-data-based "test set" requiring adjudication.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (intramedullary nail system), not an algorithm or software device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for this device's performance is established through mechanical testing standards and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device. The key "ground truth" is that its mechanical properties and functional characteristics are equivalent to the predicate device, which has already established its safety and effectiveness in the market.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm or software that requires a training set of data.

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

    Not applicable. As above, there is no training set for this type of device.


    Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:

    The study proving the EBI® Trochanteric Nail System meets its acceptance criteria is a non-clinical mechanical testing study (bench testing) paired with a comparative analysis of technological characteristics against a predicate device.

    • Study Design: The non-clinical testing involved mechanical load testing of the EBI® Trochanteric Nail System. This was supplemented by a detailed comparison of its design, materials, indications for use, and manufacturing processes with those of the Biomet Holland Femoral Nail System (K983641), which served as the predicate device.
    • Proof of Acceptance: The results of the mechanical tests demonstrated that the EBI® Trochanteric Nail System exhibits equivalent mechanical strength to the predicate device. Furthermore, the submission argues for substantial equivalence across various technological characteristics (indications for use, location, design, material, mechanical strength, and sterility). This combined evidence led to the conclusion that the device is "as safe and effective and performs as well as the predicate device."
    • Conclusion by FDA: The FDA's 510(k) clearance letter (K050118) confirms that they found the device "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, thereby allowing it to proceed to market. This determination is based on the provided non-clinical testing and comparative analysis.

    TROCHANTERIC NAIL SYSTEM

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The Trochanteric Nail System is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal fractures of the femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, high subtrochanteric fractures and combinations of these fractures. The Trochanteric Long Nail system is additionally indicated to treat pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures in osteoporotic bone of the trochanteric and diaphyseal areas, long subtrochanteric fractures, ipsilateral femoral fractures, proximal or distal non-unions and malunions and revision procedures.

    Device Description

    The Trochanteric Nail System consists of an intramedullary nail, lag screw, end cap, and optional anti-rotation screw, all manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI), which are used to treat fractures in the proximal portion of the femur. The lag screw provides dynamic compression of the fracture; the anti-rotation screw can be used to prevent the rotation of the bone fracture segments, and the end cap prevents bone ingrowth. It is estimated that the AR screw is required in only five to ten percent of the cases where additional rotational stability of the fracture is required.

    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) summary (K042325) for the DePuy Orthopaedics Trochanteric Nail System does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.

    This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It focuses on device description, intended use, and indications, and then asserts substantial equivalence based on similar use, indications, materials, and sterilization processes to previously cleared DePuy Trochanteric Nail predicate devices (K010780 and K013563).

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. To answer your questions, I would need a study report that details performance testing and acceptance criteria for the Trochanteric Nail System.
