    AI/ML Overview

    The document describes the KLS Martin Oral-Max Implants - MR Conditional, a bundled submission of various osteosynthesis systems and screws intended for use in craniomaxillofacial surgery. The purpose of this submission is to support the conditional safety and labeling modification of these devices in the magnetic resonance (MR) environment.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

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

    The acceptance criteria are implied by the non-clinical tests conducted to support MR Conditional safety, aligning with relevant ASTM standards and FDA guidance. The reported device performance is that the devices can be safely scanned under specified conditions.

    Acceptance Criteria (from ASTM/FDA Guidance)Reported Device Performance (Summary from Submission)
    Magnetically induced displacement force within acceptable limits (ASTM F2052-21)Not explicitly quantified but implied as acceptable for MR Conditional labeling.
    Magnetically induced torque within acceptable limits (ASTM F2213-17)Not explicitly quantified but implied as acceptable for MR Conditional labeling.
    Image artifacts within acceptable limits (ASTM F2119-07, R2013)Not explicitly quantified but implied as acceptable for MR Conditional labeling.
    RF-induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2) resulting in a temperature rise below 6 ℃Achieved under specified scanning conditions: 1.5 T/64 MHz and 3 T/128 MHz at a whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (wbSAR) of 2 W/kg or head SAR of 3.2 W/kg for an hour-long scanning session.

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

    The testing involved computational modeling and simulation (CM&S). The "test set" in this context refers to the simulated scenarios and device configurations.

    • Sample Size for Test Set: "the entire portfolio of KLS Martin maxillofacial implants" was simulated. This implies that all devices grouped under "KLS Martin Oral-Max Implants - MR Conditional" were included in the simulations. The document also mentions "various in-vivo device positions and landmarks," "worst-case single and multiple devices," and simulations in "10 cm increments." This suggests a comprehensive set of simulated scenarios rather than a traditional physical sample size.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated as "country of origin" or "retrospective/prospective" in the same way clinical data is. The data is generated through computational modeling and simulation using MED Institute's FDA-qualified Medical Device Development Tool (MDDT) and the Duke virtual human anatomy. This is a form of prospective simulation data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    Not applicable in the traditional sense for this type of non-clinical, simulation-based study. The "ground truth" for the RF-induced heating simulations is derived from the established physics and engineering principles embedded in the FDA-qualified MDDT and the Duke virtual human anatomy model. The expertise lies in the development and validation of these computational tools and the interpretation of the simulation results by experts in MR safety and medical device engineering at MED Institute and the submitting company. The document does not specify the number or qualifications of individual experts validating the computational model, but implies that the MDDT itself is "FDA-qualified," indicating a level of expert review and agreement on its methodology.

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

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used for consensus building among human expert readers for clinical studies, especially when establishing ground truth from image interpretation. This study is based on physical property testing and computational simulations, not human interpretation of clinical data.

    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 not a study involving human readers or AI-assisted diagnostic performance. It focuses on the physical safety of implants in an MR environment.

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

    The RF-induced heating assessment involved "Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) ... using MED Institute's FDA-qualified Medical Device Development Tool (MDDT) and in a clinically relevant position within the Duke virtual human anatomy." This is a standalone algorithm/model-based assessment without a human-in-the-loop for the performance evaluation itself. Human experts design the simulations, configure the models, and interpret the results, but the "performance" (temperature rise, SAR calculations) is computed by the algorithm.

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

    For the non-clinical tests:

    • Magnetically induced displacement force, torque, and image artifacts: The "ground truth" is based on the physical properties of the materials and device designs, measured or calculated according to established ASTM standards (F2052-21, F2213-17, F2119-07).
    • RF-induced heating: The "ground truth" for the simulations is derived from the established electromagnetic physics and thermal dynamics principles implemented in the FDA-qualified Medical Device Development Tool (MDDT) and applied to the Duke virtual human anatomy model. The MDDT's qualification process by the FDA implicitly establishes the reliability of its results as a form of "ground truth" for simulation-based assessments.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a non-clinical study for MR safety assessment, not a machine learning model requiring a training set in the typical sense. The "training" for the MDDT is its initial validation and qualification against known physical phenomena and experimental data, which is a separate process from this submission.

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

    Not applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning model in this context. The "ground truth" for qualifying the simulation tool (MDDT) would have been established through extensive validation against experimental measurements and recognized physical theories.

    Intended Use

    Internal Distraction - Sterile includes devices intended as bone stabilizers and lengthening (and or transport) devices for correction of congenital deficiencies or post traumatic defects of the cranial bones that require gradual distraction.

    Device Description

    Internal Distraction - Sterile consists of sterile internal distraction devices intended for the correction of cranial bones that are comprised of several different designs and components intended for bone stabilization and elongation through distraction osteogenesis. It is composed of multiple sizes and shapes of distractor footplates and either fixed or detachable activator arms. The devices are positioned internally with a connected activation arm extending through the soft tissue for external activation. Some devices, due to their anatomical positioning, are directly activated using a patient activation driver, eliminating the need for attaching an activation arm to the device. The distractor footplates are fixated to the bone on either side of the osteotomy using previously cleared bone screws (K943347, K944561, K944565, K971297, K060177). Distraction is achieved by rotating the distractor threaded drive screws with the patient driver, often with an activation arm, which causes a separation of the distractor footplates and induces the body to grow bone and expand soft tissue as a response. Various lengths of distractor drive screws are available to achieve the desired distraction length. Upon completion of distraction and consolidation of the bone, the screws are removed from the footplates and the distractor is explanted.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Internal Distraction - Sterile" device. The acceptance criteria and supporting studies are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the "Zurich Distraction System (K010139)".

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

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

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Intended UseThe device is intended as a bone stabilizer and lengthening/transport device for correction of congenital deficiencies or post-traumatic cranial bone defects requiring gradual distraction.The "Internal Distraction - Sterile" device has the same intended use as the predicate device, specifically for cranial bones.
    Materials/BiocompatibilityMaterials (Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and CP Titanium) should meet biocompatibility requirements as per FDA Blue Book Memo #G95-1 (ISO 10993 Part 1).The device uses the same materials (Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and CP Titanium) as the previously cleared predicate device, with identical chemical composition, manufacturing processes, and body contact duration. Therefore, no new biocompatibility testing was needed or performed.
    Sterilization & PyrogenicityDevice must be in sterile packaging and meet pyrogenicity limits.Bacterial Endotoxins testing was conducted (ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011, USP , EP 2.6.14). Results demonstrate conformity to required endotoxin units per device and meet pyrogen limit specifications. The device will be provided sterile via gamma irradiation.
    Mechanical PerformanceMechanical properties (axial resistance, torsional loading, material properties, manufacturing tolerances) must be sufficient to withstand anatomical loads and allow for effective and safe bone movement.Axial load testing, bending torsion testing, axial-torsion testing, and transverse shear testing were performed. All devices passed design requirements for material properties, manufacturing tolerances, axial resistance, and torsional loading, demonstrating sufficient capability to withstand anatomical loads and allow effective/safe boney movement.
    Substantial EquivalenceThe device must be substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, design, function, manufacturing process, and materials, such that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.The device is similar to the predicate in intended use, design, function, manufacturing process, and materials. Differences (sterile packaging, cranial-specific indication, ratcheting mechanism, detachable activators) were deemed not to raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

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

    The document primarily relies on non-clinical performance data (bench testing) and comparison to the predicate device.

    • Biocompatibility: No new testing was performed; it relied on the predicate device's clearance.
    • Pyrogenicity: The sample size for Bacterial Endotoxins testing is not specified.
    • Mechanical Performance: The sample size for axial load, bending torsion, axial-torsion, and transverse shear testing is not specified. This was bench testing, not clinical data, so provenance like "country of origin" or "retrospective/prospective" is not applicable in the typical sense for patient data.

    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. The study is a 510(k) submission based on non-clinical bench testing and demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. There was no test set requiring expert ground truth for clinical cases.

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

    Not applicable. No clinical test set or adjudication for diagnostic ground truth was performed or required.

    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 device is a medical implant (internal distraction system), not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.

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

    Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an algorithm, so the concept of standalone performance does not apply.

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

    Not applicable in the context of clinical ground truth for diagnostic accuracy. The "ground truth" for this submission is based on:

    • Predicate Device Equivalence: The safety and effectiveness profile of the legally marketed predicate device (Zurich Distraction System, K010139).
    • Engineering Standards: Compliance with recognized standards for biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), pyrogenicity (ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011, USP , EP 2.6.14), and mechanical performance through bench testing against design requirements.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a medical device clearance, not an AI model. There is no concept of a "training set" for the device itself.

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

    Not applicable. See point 8.

The device has a three position screw which allows the ratchet to open, close and lock. In an emergency situation, the device can be reopened by turning the screw to the open

    A second emergency re-entry is position. provided by cut points adjacent to the screw.

    KLS - Martin Sternal Plating System consists of plates having a thickness from 1.0mm to 3.0mm and screws having a diameter of 2.3mm to 3.2mm.

    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) premarket notification describes the KLS Martin Quick Disc, Sternal Talon, and KLS Martin Sternal Plating System in sterile packaging. The submission asserts substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices based on identical manufacturing and materials, with the primary difference being the sterile packaging and associated new stock numbers.

    Here’s a breakdown of the requested information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    This document does not describe acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria in the way that would typically be seen for a novel device or a device with new technological characteristics requiring performance testing.

    Instead, the submission leverages "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices. This means the performance is assumed to be equivalent to the predicate devices because the new device (KLS Martin Quick Disc, Sternal Talon, and Sternal Plating System in sterile packaging) is identical in manufacturing and materials to the non-sterile versions and substantially equivalent in sterilization and packaging to an already cleared sterile fixation system.

    Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are met by demonstrating the following:

    Acceptance Criteria (Demonstrated Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (Claimed Equivalence)
    Manufacturing and Materials: Identical to previously cleared, non-sterile versions (K062857, K051165, K032413).Performance of the sterile Quick Disc, Sternal Talon, and Sternal Plating System is identical to their non-sterile predicate devices. This implies mechanical and functional equivalence.
    Sterilization and Packaging: Identical to a previously cleared sterile fixation system (KLS Martin Rigid Fixation - Sterile K060177).Performance related to sterility and packaging integrity is equivalent to the KLS Martin Rigid Fixation - Sterile (K060177). This implies maintained sterility and packaging effectiveness.
    Intended Use/Indications: Same as the predicate devices.The devices are intended for reattachment of cranial bone flaps, covering burr holes, fixation of cranial fractures (Quick Disc), and stabilization/fixation of anterior chest wall fractures including sternal fixation after sternotomy and sternal reconstructive procedures (Sternal Talon and Sternal Plating System).

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

    • Not applicable. This submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a new performance study with a test set of data.

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

    • Not applicable. No new clinical or performance data requiring expert ground truth establishment for a test set was generated or submitted for this 510(k). The equivalence is based on engineering and material comparisons.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not applicable. No new performance study or test set requiring adjudication was conducted.

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

    • No. This type of study is not relevant to a submission based on substantial equivalence for a change in packaging and sterilization for an already cleared mechanical device.

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

    • No. This is a mechanical surgical implant device, not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or therapeutic tool.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Not applicable / Implied by Predicate Device Clearance. The "ground truth" for the safety and effectiveness of these devices is implicitly established by the prior clearance of the predicate devices, which would have undergone their own regulatory review processes, potentially including clinical data, bench testing, and material biocompatibility assessments, all of which would have been reviewed by the FDA. For this 510(k), the "ground truth" is that the sterile versions are physically and functionally identical to the already cleared non-sterile versions, and their sterilization is equivalent to another cleared sterile device.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. No training set for an algorithm was used or described.

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

    • Not applicable. No training set for an algorithm was used or described.
