All plates and screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V ELI) according to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3.

The implants of the Genostis Osteosynthesis System are sterilized by radiation and are delivered sterile.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Genostis Osteosynthesis System does not describe a study involving an AI/software device or human readers. Instead, it describes a traditional medical device (bone fixation plates and screws) and primarily references non-clinical (biomechanical and biocompatibility) testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Therefore, many of the requested criteria related to AI/software performance, human reader studies, and ground truth establishment in a diagnostic context are not applicable to this document.

However, I can extract and structure the information that is relevant to the device's acceptance criteria based on the provided text, particularly concerning non-clinical testing.

Here's the breakdown based on the information available:

Acceptance Criteria and Study for Genostis Osteosynthesis System

The Genostis Osteosynthesis System is a traditional medical device (bone fixation plates and screws), not an AI/software diagnostic device. As such, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" proving it meets them are primarily based on non-clinical engineering and biological tests, not AI performance metrics or human-in-the-loop diagnostic studies.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Note: The document states "All results were satisfactory" for all tests, indicating the device met the pre-defined acceptance criteria for each test.

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

• Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of units or samples used for each biomechanical or biocompatibility test. It generally states that testing was "performed" and "conducted on final sterile product."
• Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated as "country of origin," but testing would be performed in a controlled laboratory environment. The tests are non-clinical (biomechanical and biocompatibility), not data from patients. The study is by nature prospective in that new manufactured devices were tested to meet the standards, not a retrospective analysis of existing data.

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

• Not Applicable. This is a medical device (hardware) clearance, not an AI/software diagnostic device that requires expert ground truth for interpretation of medical images or other diagnostic data. The "ground truth" here is the adherence to established engineering and biocompatibility standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Not Applicable. As this is non-clinical mechanical and biocompatibility testing, there is no "adjudication" in the sense of reconciling expert opinions on diagnostic findings. The results are quantitative and objective measurements against established standard thresholds.

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

• Not Applicable. MRMC studies are for evaluating clinical interpretation of diagnostic results, typically with AI assistance. This device is a physical implant, not a diagnostic tool or AI.

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

• Not Applicable. This pertains to AI algorithm performance. The device is a bone fixation system and does not rely on an algorithm for its primary function.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Pre-defined Standards and Controls: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by well-defined, internationally recognized (ISO) and American (ASTM) standards for material properties, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. The device must perform within the specified parameters of these standards. For example, screws must meet certain torque resistance (ASTM F543), and plates must meet specific load-sharing characteristics (ASTM F382).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not Applicable. This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

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

• Not Applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of medical device clearance. The design and manufacturing processes are established based on engineering principles and existing predicate device designs, with performance validated against the standards mentioned above.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the DePuy Synthes VOLT Mini Fragment Plating System and VOLT Small Fragment Plating System. This document describes the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, focusing on non-clinical performance testing (mechanical and engineering analyses) to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Crucially, this document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence."

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, training set details), which are typically found in clinical performance studies validating AI/ML-based medical devices, is not applicable to this submission.

This 510(k) clearance is based on the devices being "substantially equivalent" to existing predicate devices, primarily demonstrated through non-clinical performance testing (mechanical simulations and analyses), rather than clinical trials or studies involving human data and AI algorithm performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as it is not present in the provided text. The device in question is a physical orthopedic implant, not an AI/ML software device that would require such performance evaluations.

Therefore, the document does not contain the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as it is not a performance study in that sense.

Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This is achieved by comparing the new device's technological characteristics, intended use, materials, and performance (via testing against established ASTM standards) to those of already approved predicate devices.

Here's an explanation based on the provided text, addressing the points where information is available or noting its absence:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document does not define specific "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or similar metrics for a new diagnostic or prognostic device. Instead, it demonstrates compliance with recognized engineering and material standards to show that the device performs equivalently to previously approved devices.

The "reported device performance" is essentially a confirmation of conformance to established ASTM standards for bone plates and screws.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

• Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of patient cases or images, as it is a mechanical device submission. The testing involves mechanical specimens (e.g., plates and screws) tested according to the cited ASTM standards. The specific number of specimens tested for each standard is not detailed in this summary.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable as it's not a clinical or imaging study. The tests are mechanical and presumably conducted in a laboratory setting.

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

Not applicable. This is a submission for a bone fixation device, not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. Mechanical testing relies on standardized methodologies, not expert consensus on clinical cases.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable for a mechanical device submission.

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 a medical device for bone fixation, not an AI or diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable. This is a medical device for bone fixation, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The "ground truth" in this context is the established performance benchmarks defined by recognized industry standards (ASTM F382, ASTM F384, ASTM F543 for performance, and ASTM F136, ASTM F138, ASTM F139 for materials). The device is deemed acceptable if it conforms to these standards, indicating mechanical properties are comparable to legally marketed devices.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission. The "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence rests on adherence to material and performance standards, which are developed and accepted by the scientific and engineering community.
