    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a medical device submission (K140357) for the OIC Variable Angle Small Fragment Locking Plate System. However, it does not contain information regarding traditional acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets said criteria in the context of clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy.

    Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices, primarily through engineering and material testing, rather than clinical trials with patient outcomes or AI-driven performance studies.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories cannot be filled as the information is not present in the provided text.

    Here's an attempt to answer based on the available information, with clear indications where the information is not present:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for K140357: OIC Variable Angle Small Fragment Locking Plate System

    The provided 510(k) summary for the OIC Variable Angle Small Fragment Locking Plate System does not detail specific acceptance criteria or clinical performance studies related to diagnostic accuracy or human-in-the-loop improvements for an AI device. Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through mechanical testing and material compliance.

    The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the standards the device conforms to and the evaluation methods used to demonstrate substantial equivalence, which are primarily related to mechanical properties and materials.

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

    • Sample Size: Not applicable/not provided. The evaluation was primarily based on engineering analyses (FEA) and literature review, not a test set of data in the context of AI or clinical outcomes.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable/not provided. The document refers to "literature review" for comparative mechanical performance, but does not specify the origin of this literature.

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

    • Not applicable. The ground truth for mechanical performance was established via engineering analyses and comparisons to published standards and literature, not expert consensus on a test set of cases.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not applicable. No test set requiring expert adjudication is described.

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

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic devices or AI-assisted interpretation, which is not the nature of this orthopedic implant submission.

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

    • No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical orthopedic implant, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The 'ground truth' for this 510(k) submission relates to engineering standards, material specifications, and documented mechanical performance characteristics established through finite element analysis and literature review. It is not clinical pathology, outcomes data, or expert consensus on patient cases.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. This device is an orthopedic implant, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set. The "training" for its design and evaluation would come from established engineering principles, material science, and the design of predicate devices.

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

    • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this orthopedic implant. The benchmarks for performance (comparable mechanical properties, material compliance, etc.) were established through recognized ASTM standards, the performance of predicate devices, and engineering analyses (FEA).

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

    • Not applicable / Not available in the provided text. This device is a mechanical bone plate system, not an algorithm.

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

    • Not available in the provided text. No performance testing data is presented. The "ground truth" for this type of device would typically involve mechanical testing (e.g., fatigue, static strength) and biocompatibility, but no such details are provided for this specific submission beyond asserting similarity to predicates.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable / Not available in the provided text. This is not an AI device, so there is no "training set."

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

    • Not applicable / Not available in the provided text. This is not an AI device, so there is no "training set" or its associated ground truth establishment.

    Summary of what the document does provide:

    The document describes design modifications to existing PERI-LOC™ Periarticular Locked Plating System devices. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices (K033669, K051735, and K061352) based on:

    • Identical indications for use.
    • Identical material (stainless steel).
    • Very similar technological design characteristics.

    The modifications are described as minor (e.g., removal of tunnels, chamfers, tabs, or slots) and do not appear to fundamentally change the intended mechanical function or safety profile in a way that would necessitate new, extensive clinical or performance studies for this 510(k) submission. The FDA clearance letter confirms the substantial equivalence determination.

    Intended Use

    The PERI-LOC Periarticular Locked Plating System can be used for adult and pediatric patients, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. PERI-LOC bones plates and screws are indicated for fixation of pelvic, small and long bone fractures, including those of the tibia, fibula, femur, pelvis, acetabulum, metacarpals, metatarsals, humerus, ulna, radius, calcaneus, and clavicle.

    Components in the PERI-LOC™ Periarticular Locked Plating System are for single use only.

    Device Description

    Volar Distal Radius Locking Plates for the Upper Extremity manufactured from ASTM F139 material are line additions to the PERI-LOC™ Periarticular Locked Plating System cleared under K051735 and K061352. Like the predicate devices listed below, the subject components include various sizes of contoured locking bone plates and locking/non-locking bone screws made from stainless steel. PERI-LOC™ locking bone plates and locking bone screws incorporate a screw-to-plate locking feature which forms a locked, fixed angle construct to aid in holding fracture reduction.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the PERI-LOC™ Periarticular Locked Plating System – Volar Distal Radius Locking Plate for the Upper Extremity – ASTM F139 Material Change. This is a medical device submission, and the content focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than presenting a study demonstrating performance against specific acceptance criteria for a new AI or diagnostic algorithm.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/diagnostic studies, such as acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details, are not applicable to this type of submission.

    The document primarily addresses the following aspects:

    1. Device Description: It describes the Volar Distal Radius Locking Plates as line additions to an existing system, made from ASTM F139 material, and incorporating a screw-to-plate locking feature.
    2. Intended Use: Specifies that the system is for adult patients with osteopenic bone and is indicated for fixation of various bone fractures.
    3. Technological Characteristics: States that the device is similar to legally marketed devices in terms of indications, materials, and technological characteristics.
    4. Substantial Equivalence Information: Compares the device to several predicate devices based on design features, indications, and material composition.

    Key points from the document regarding the device's assessment:

    • No specific acceptance criteria for a new performance metric are listed. The approval is based on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to existing, legally marketed predicate devices. This means the new device is considered as safe and effective as the predicate devices, without needing to prove new performance thresholds.
    • No explicit study proving specific performance metrics is included. The 510(k) summary relies on comparison to predicate devices, implying that the established performance and safety of the predicates serve as the benchmark.
    • No sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert numbers, adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone performance are mentioned. These are typically associated with studies evaluating diagnostic or AI-driven devices, which this orthopedic implant is not.
    • The "ground truth" for this type of device is implicitly the clinical performance and history of the predicate devices. Its substantial equivalence implies it should perform similarly in a clinical setting.
    • No training set or ground truth establishment for a training set is relevant as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

    In summary, based on the provided text, the device approval is based on substantial equivalence, not on meeting specific quantitative acceptance criteria through a performance study. The document does not contain the information required to populate the requested table or answer the specific questions about an AI/diagnostic study.
