    Device Description

    The method of intramedullary nail fixation is symmetrical central splint fixation; central fixati on is theoretically superior to cortical external fixation, which can reduce the moment arm, re duce the incidence of varus and valgus angulation and internal fixation failure. Intramedullary nail fixation of fractures is stress-distributed fixation rather than stress-shielded fixation, whi ch is beneficial to the plasticity of callus. Advanced Intramedullary Nail System are made of Ti-6Al-4V ELI following ASTM F136. Advanced Intramedullary Nail System is provided as non-sterile. The implants are intended for single-use only, while the instruments are reusable.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a medical device called "Advanced Intramedullary Nail System." It is a submission to the FDA seeking clearance to market the device based on its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.

    Based on the provided text, there is no study conducted to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/algorithm-based medical device performance study.

    The document describes a medical implant device, not an AI or software algorithm. The "Advanced Intramedullary Nail System" is a physical device used for fixation of fractures. The information provided is typical for a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device, focusing on material equivalence, design features, biocompatibility, and mechanical testing.

    Therefore, many of the questions asked cannot be answered because they pertain to performance studies of AI/algorithmic devices, which are not relevant to this submission.

    Let's break down why and what information is available:

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

    • Not applicable in the context of an AI/algorithmic device. The document discusses the device's physical properties and its equivalence to predicate devices.
    • The "acceptance criteria" here would be related to the mechanical performance standards (e.g., specific loads the nails can withstand, or how well the screws perform under torsion), which are tested against ASTM standards (F543-17 and F1264-16). However, specific numerical acceptance criteria and reported performance values are not explicitly stated in a table format in this summary. The summary only lists the types of tests performed.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • Not applicable in the context of an AI/algorithmic device. For mechanical testing, the "sample size" would refer to the number of physical nails and screws tested. This information is not provided in the summary.
    • There's no data provenance in the sense of patient data because this is a physical device, not an AI output.

    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. There is no "ground truth" in the diagnostic or clinical sense for this physical device as it's not an AI evaluating patient data.

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

    • Not applicable. There is no clinical "test set" requiring adjudication for a physical device like an intramedullary nail.

    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 study design is relevant for AI image analysis or diagnostic support systems, not for a physical orthopedic implant.

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

    • Not applicable. This refers to AI algorithm performance.

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

    • Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's safety and effectiveness relies on its mechanical properties (meeting ASTM standards) and biocompatibility with human tissue, demonstrating equivalence to already cleared devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

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

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

    • Not applicable.

    Summary of relevant information from the document related to "acceptance criteria" (understood as compliance with standards) and "study" (understood as non-clinical testing):

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit via Standards Compliance):

    • Biocompatibility: The device should be biocompatible according to the FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1." Specific pass/fail criteria are not detailed in this summary but are inherent in the standard.
    • Mechanical Performance: The device materials and mechanical properties should meet the requirements of:
      • ASTM F543-17 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws) for the locking screws.
      • ASTM F1264-16 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Intramedullary Fixation Devices) for the intramedullary nail.
      • Specific acceptance values (e.g., minimum torque, maximum deflection) are not listed in this summary but would have been presented in the full 510(k) submission.

    The Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria:

    The document refers to "Non-Clinical Performance Data" as the study justifying the device's safety and effectiveness and its substantial equivalence.

    • Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted in accordance with FDA Guidance and ISO 10993-1. (No further details on methods or results are provided in this summary).
    • Mechanical Testing: Performed on the Advanced Intramedullary Nail System.
      • Locking Screw Tests: Torsion Test, Insertion/Removal Test, Self-tapping Test, Pullout Test, Bending Test. (These tests implicitly compare the device's performance to the predicate device and relevant ASTM standards).
      • Intramedullary Nail Tests: Four-Point Bend Test, Static Torsion Test. (These tests implicitly compare the device's performance to the predicate device and relevant ASTM standards).

    Conclusion: The supplied document is a 510(k) summary for a physical medical implant. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or studies related to AI/algorithmic performance. The "studies" conducted are non-clinical (biocompatibility and mechanical testing) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices by meeting recognized industry standards.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for Smith & Nephew Intramedullary Nail Systems. The primary purpose of this submission is to add MR safety information to the labeling and update the information within the package insert for existing, previously cleared devices. This means the device itself has not changed in design, material, sterilization, or manufacturing processes. Therefore, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is focused on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatibility testing.

    Here's the breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a tabular format with specific performance metrics for the device itself (e.g., fracture healing rates, strength). Instead, the acceptance criteria relate to MRI compatibility, which is assessed against established standards and guidance documents. The "reported device performance" in this context refers to the successful completion of these tests.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Implied)
    Compliance with FDA Guidance for MRI Safety LabelingMRI compatibility testing was conducted as per the FDA's "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff", 20 May 2021.
    Compliance with IEC 60601-2-33 (Medical electrical equipment –Part 2-33: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of magnetic resonance equipment for medical diagnosis)MRI compatibility testing references IEC 60601-2-33 (Ed 3.2). The successful submission implies compliance for the purpose of adding MR safety information to labeling.
    Compliance with ASTM F2182-19e2 (Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating)MRI compatibility testing references ASTM F2182-19e2. The successful submission implies compliance for the purpose of adding MR safety information to labeling.
    Compliance with ISO/TS 10974:2018(E) (Assessment of the safety of magnetic resonance imaging for patients with an active implantable medical device)MRI compatibility testing references ISO/TS 10974:2018(E). (Note: The devices are described as passive implants, but this standard is referenced, likely for a comprehensive assessment or if there are components with active elements in similar systems). The successful submission implies compliance.
    Compliance with ASTM F2052-15 (Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force)MRI compatibility testing references ASTM F2052-15. The successful submission implies compliance for the purpose of adding MR safety information to labeling.
    Compliance with ASTM F2213-2017 (Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque)MRI compatibility testing references ASTM F2213-2017. The successful submission implies compliance for the purpose of adding MR safety information to labeling.
    Compliance with ASTM F2119-07 (2013) (Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts)MRI compatibility testing references ASTM F2119-07 (2013). The successful submission implies compliance for the purpose of adding MR safety information to labeling.
    No critical differences in intended use or indicationsThe submission explicitly states: "the only differences between the subject devices and the commercially available predicate devices were supporting MR safety testing/assessment and the addition of MR safety information to the labeling. These differences are not critical to the intended use of the subject devices and do not change the indications for use."

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

    The document does not detail the specific sample size of devices tested for MRI compatibility. The testing information is generic, referring to "MRI compatibility testing was conducted." Given the nature of medical device MR safety testing, it typically involves a representative sample of device configurations (e.g., different sizes, materials, locking mechanisms) rather than a large "dataset" of patient data.

    The data provenance is implied to be laboratory testing conducted according to the listed ASTM and IEC standards. There is no mention of patient data (retrospective or prospective) from any specific country of origin, as the submission is about changes to labeling based on technical testing, not clinical performance.

    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" for MRI compatibility testing is established by the scientific principles and methodologies outlined in the referenced international standards (ASTM, IEC, ISO/TS) and FDA guidance documents, not by expert consensus on clinical cases. Testing engineers and MR safety specialists would be involved in conducting and interpreting these tests, but they are not "experts establishing ground truth" in the way radiologists might for diagnostic imaging.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies where multiple human reviewers assess the same case and discrepancies need to be resolved. This submission is about technical testing of device properties, not clinical assessment by human readers.

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

    No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study involves human readers (e.g., radiologists) assessing cases, often with and without AI assistance, to measure the impact of AI on their performance. This submission does not involve an AI component or the assessment of human reader performance.

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

    No. This submission is for physical intramedullary nail systems, not a software algorithm or AI device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The "ground truth" for this submission is derived from the established physical and electromagnetic principles and measurement standards for MRI compatibility. The tests measure physical parameters like temperature rise, displacement force, torque, and artifact generation under defined MR conditions, with the standards themselves defining acceptable limits and testing methodologies.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable. This submission does not involve a training set as it pertains to physical devices and their MRI compatibility testing, not machine learning algorithms.

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

    Not applicable, as there is no training set.

The subject devices are accessory devices and are intended to be used to assist in the implantation of Smith & Nephew IM Nails and their cleared Indications for Use. Smith & Nephew IM Nail Systems Instruments can be organized into instrument families which are categorized as follows: Torque/Tightening, trials, drills, extractors, impactors, replacements, alignment, other guides and gauges, and bone preparation.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for Intramedullary Nail Systems Instruments, which are accessory devices used to assist in the implantation of various Smith & Nephew IM Nails. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for a novel device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, performance, and detailed study methodologies for an AI/CADe device cannot be extracted directly.

    This document describes the equivalence of the instruments used for implantation of nails, not the nails themselves or a diagnostic AI/CADe system.

    However, I can extract the information that is present and highlight what is missing based on your request.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    This information is not provided in the document as it is a 510(k) for accessory instruments, relying on substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than demonstrating performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria. The "performance" described is the instruments' ability to assist in the implantation of already cleared nails, which is assessed through comparisons of materials, manufacturing, sterilization, and body contact.

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    This information is not applicable as there is no test set or clinical study conducted in the context of a new diagnostic algorithm or device requiring such data. The premarket notification relies on substantial equivalence.


    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)

    This information is not applicable as there is no test set or ground truth to establish for this type of device (surgical instruments).


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

    This information is not applicable.


    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

    This information is not applicable as no MRMC study, or any study involving human readers and AI assistance, was conducted or described. The device consists of surgical instruments, not an AI/CADe system.


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

    This information is not applicable as the device is surgical instrumentation, not an algorithm or AI system.


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

    This information is not applicable as no ground truth is required for demonstrating substantial equivalence of surgical instruments. The equivalence is based on physical characteristics and intended use.
