## B. Technological Characteristics
Both the Subject and primary predicate devices have the same technological characteristics, principles of operation, design specification and manufacturing processes.
## 7. PERFORMANCE DATA [§807.92(b)(7)]
Performance data were generated to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device to its predicate devices. The data include non-clinical testing and design validation to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Testing addressed compatibility with optional design features and compatibility with surgical guides, Stryker customized plates, and navigation systems. No changes were made to the device’s material composition, intended use, or fundamental design, and therefore previously established performance characteristics remain applicable.
### Biocompatibility and Sterility Testing
Biocompatibility and sterility testing were not repeated because the Subject Device uses identical materials, manufacturing processes, and sterilization methods as the primary predicate device.
### Performance Bench Testing
Both the subject and predicate devices are designed similarly and manufactured identically. The performance bench testing of the predicate device is valid for the subject device. Additionally, an end-user validation lab was conducted to evaluate the subject device and to support the basis for substantial equivalence.
### Animal Testing
Animal testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.
### Clinical Testing [§807.92(b)(2)]
Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.
## 8. CONCLUSIONS [§807.92(b)(3)]
In summary, the CMF MEDPOR® Customized Implant is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. According to the comparison based on the requirements of 21 CFR 807.87 and the information provided herein, it is concluded that the information included in this submission supports substantial equivalence.
