The tmCMF Solution is intended for use as a software system and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as a CT-based system. The input data file is processed by the tmCMF Solution, and the result is an output data file that may then be provided as digital models or used as input to a manufacturing portion of the system that produces physical outputs, including anatomical models, surgical guides, dental splints, and implants for use in maxillofacial, midface, and mandibular surgery. Implants are intended for bone fixation and reconstruction. restoration of bone defects, and intended to provide continuity in regions where the bone is missing and/or to augment the bone by means of an onlay device in the maxillofacial skeleton, midface, mandible, and chin in adolescents (greater than 12 to 21 years of age) and adults. The tmCMF Solution is also intended as a preoperative software tool for simulating/ evaluating virtual surgical treatment options.

TechMah CMF (tmCMF) Solution is a family of personalized product solutions for Reconstructive, Orthognathic, Trauma, and Augmentation procedures in the mandible and midface (including orbital floor, medial and lateral orbital walls). The solution is comprised of Surgeon Review Tool (SRT) software and maxillofacial and mandibular surgical instruments (surgical guides, anatomical models, and dental splints) and implants. The surgical instruments and implants are patient-specific devices and are designed utilizing CT and dental scan patient image data.

Surgical guides are patient-specific devices or templates based on pre-operative software planning designed to fit a specific patient. These guides are used to assist a surgeon in transferring the pre-operative plan to the surgery by guiding the marking/drilling of bone for plate fixation screws and the position of the osteotomy marking/cutting slots. Guides can be used in conjunction with anatomical models to verify anatomical positioning and fit. Surgical guides can be used with either tmCMF Solution patient-specific implants or compatible off-the-shelf DePuy Synthes implants.

Anatomical models are patient-specific models that are based on pre-operative anatomy and surqical planning specific to a patient. These models are used to assist a surgeon in transferring the pre-operative plan to the surgery by representing pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative anatomical models as quidance. Anatomical models can be used to check quide fit and facilitate the pre-bending of a non-patient-specific off-the-shelf plate.

Dental splints are patient-specific devices or templates based on pre-operative software planning designed to fit a specific patient. These templates are used to assist a surgeon in transferring the pre-operative plan to the surgery by guiding the dental alignment of bone and teeth.

Implants are patient-specific devices that are based on pre-operative software planning designed to fit a specific patient. These implants are integral components for CMF (craniomaxillofacial) procedures, facilitating bone repositioning, fixation, reconstruction, and the restoration of bone defects. They are designed according to the pre-operative surgical plan to ensure continuity in regions where bone is absent and to provide structural integrity to the maxillofacial skeletal components, midface, mandible, and chin. This could include stabilizing fractured or intraoperatively cut bone, fixating harvested graft segments, or augmenting bone defects. Implants can be used in conjunction with surgical guides and anatomical models to assist with anatomical positioning and fit.

The Surgeon Review Tool (SRT) software is used by surgeons for the review of surgical plans, surgical instruments, and implant designs. The SRT software is accessed through a web interface.

The provided document, K192655, is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for DePuy Synthes Maxillofacial Portfolio - MR Conditional. This type of submission is a declaration from the manufacturer to the FDA that their device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, and it does not typically involve clinical performance studies with acceptance criteria as one would find for novel AI/ML medical devices.

Instead, the provided document focuses on demonstrating MR Conditional safety for a portfolio of existing maxillofacial bone plates and screw systems that were previously cleared by the FDA. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described herein relate to non-clinical electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing in an MR environment, not clinical performance for diagnostic or therapeutic accuracy of an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to AI/ML device performance (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this specific submission.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is available and relevant to the document's purpose:

Acceptance Criteria and Study for MR Conditional Safety (Non-Clinical)

The submission aims to add "MR Conditional" labeling to a portfolio of maxillofacial devices. This requires demonstrating that the devices are safe for use in a specified MR environment under defined conditions. The "acceptance criteria" for this type of submission are typically based on recognized international consensus standards for testing the MR compatibility of medical devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document consistently references the following ASTM standards for non-clinical testing to support MR Conditional safety across all listed devices:

Note: The document states that "Non-clinical testing is provided to support the conditional safety..." for each of these parameters. While it doesn't provide specific quantitative results (e.g., exact temperature rise in °C, or N/A for displacement/torque if deemed safe), the acceptance of the 510(k) by the FDA implies that the results of these tests met the predefined safety thresholds for an MR Conditional designation as per the referenced ASTM standards. The specific numerical results (e.g., maximum temperature rises, displacement forces, etc.) would be detailed in the full test reports submitted to the FDA, which are not part of this public summary.

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

• Sample Size: For non-clinical MR compatibility testing, the "sample size" refers to the number of device units tested. The document does not specify the exact number of physical devices or models tested for each parameter. However, standard practice for such assessments involves testing representative samples of each device type (plates, screws, meshes, distractors) and material compositions (titanium, titanium alloy) to ensure the portfolio's MR safety.
• Data Provenance: The data is "non-clinical testing" conducted by the manufacturer (Synthes - DePuy Synthes). The country of origin for the testing itself is not explicitly stated in this summary, but it would typically be conducted in a laboratory setting compliant with relevant international standards. This is retrospective in the sense that the studies were performed specifically to characterize the existing devices for MR compatibility.

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

• Not Applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of physical device properties in an MR environment, not a clinical study involving expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes. The "ground truth" for MR safety is established by adherence to recognized ASTM testing standards and the physical properties of the materials and device in situ within the MR scanner, not by human expert consensus or annotations on medical data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Not Applicable. As this is non-clinical testing of physical device characteristics, there is no "adjudication" in the sense of resolving discrepancies between human readers or AI outputs. The test results are objective measurements against standard-defined thresholds.

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 submission is not for an AI-powered device.

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

• Not Applicable. This submission is not for an AI-powered device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Physical Measurements against ASTM Standard Thresholds: The "ground truth" for MR Conditional safety is determined by rigorous physical measurements (e.g., temperature changes, displacement forces, torque, observable image artifacts) obtained through standardized testing protocols (ASTM F2052-14, F2213-06, F2182-11a, F2119-07) and comparison against acceptance limits defined by these standards or applicable regulatory guidance. It's about validating the device's behavior in an MR field, not diagnosing a condition. The "DUKE model" for RF heating indicates a high-fidelity computational human body model used for simulating temperature distributions due to RF fields.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. There is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.

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

• Not Applicable. As there is no training set for AI/ML, this question doesn't apply.
