Device Description

The TSRH® Spinal System is intended to help provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar, and/or sacral spine.

The TSRH® Spinal System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws, cross connectors, staples, plates and connecting components as well as implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems, which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.

Certain implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems can be used with the TSRH® Spinal System. These components include GDLH® rods, GDLH® rod/bolt connectors, GDLH® Variable Angle T-Bolts, GDLH®set screws and locking screws, DYNALOK® PLUS™ bolts, CD HORIZON® Low Profile MULTI-SPAN® CROSSLINK® Plates, VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System screws, and CD HORIZON® rods, set screws and locking screws.

The hooks are intended for posterior use only and the staples are for anterior use only. The TSRH-3D® and TSRH-3Dx™ connectors and TSRH-3D® and TSRH-3Dx™ screws are intended for posterior use only. ALL CROSSLINK® Plates are for posterior use and the CROSSLINK® Axial and Offset Plates may be used anteriorly as well.

The TSRH® Spinal System implant components are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel, medical grade titanium or titanium alloy, and/or medical grade cobaltchromium-molybdenum alloy. Medical grade titanium alloy, and/or cobaltchromium-molybdenum alloy may be used together. Certain TSRH® Spinal System components may be coated with hydroxyapatite. Never use titanium, titanium allov, and/or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy with stainless steel in the same construct.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the TSRH® Spinal System, specifically focusing on the inclusion of a new 3Dx 90° Offset Connector. It primarily addresses the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study proving performance against acceptance criteria in a clinical setting.

Here's an analysis based on the information provided and what can be inferred:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document describes non-clinical mechanical testing standards, but does not explicitly state specific pass/fail acceptance criteria or quantitative performance results in a table format. Instead, it states that the tests were performed "per ASTM F1798-97" and "per ASTM F1717-04" and that Medtronic "believes that documentation provided demonstrates that the TSRH® 3Dx 90° Offset Connector is substantially equivalent to its predicates."

Therefore, it's not possible to create the requested table with specific numerical acceptance criteria and reported performance from this document. The implicit acceptance criterion is that the new component performs comparably to the predicate devices when tested under the specified ASTM standards.

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the number of individual components tested (sample size) for the mechanical tests. It only lists the types of tests performed.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is from non-clinical mechanical testing, conducted by Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA. It is not human subject data; therefore, concepts like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" do not directly apply in the way they would for clinical studies.

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

This section is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical mechanical testing, not a study involving human subjects or expert assessment of clinical data. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by the test standards (ASTM F1798-97 and ASTM F1717-04).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This is not applicable for non-clinical mechanical testing. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies involving human interpretation or clinical outcomes.

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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is used to assess the impact of a device (like an AI algorithm) on human reader performance, which is not relevant to the mechanical testing of a spinal implant component.

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

No, a standalone study was not done. Again, this concept applies to AI algorithms, not mechanical medical devices. The testing described is "standalone" in the sense that it evaluates the component's mechanical properties independently of human interaction.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing is the performance specifications and methodologies defined by the ASTM standards (ASTM F1798-97 and ASTM F1717-04) and the established performance of the predicate devices. The new connector is expected to perform comparably.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This is not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of mechanical testing for a spinal implant. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms.

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

This is not applicable for the same reasons as above.

VI. Summary of the Technological Characteristics

TSRH® 3Dx 90° Offset Connector

The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to include a 3Dx 90° Offset Connector to the TSRH® Spinal System. A TSRH® 90° Offset Connector (K030285, S.E. 02/25/2003) is used as a predicate for geometrical comparison. Another TSRH® 90° Offset Connector (K030285, S.E. 02/25/2003), two TSRH® Standard Connectors (K030285, S.E. 02/25/2003 and K021170, S.E. 07/16/2002), and a CD HORIZON® Multi-Axial Screw (K052054, S.E. 08/19/2005) are used for comparison in mechanical testing.

The main difference between the two predicate TSRH® 90° Offset Connectors and the subject 90° Offset Connector is that the subject device is designed to accept the screw vertically while the predicate 90° offset connectors accept the set screw at an angle. Picture 1 below illustrates the subject and predicate devices.

Image /page/2/Picture/5 description: The image shows two devices, one labeled as the "Subject Device" and the other as "Predicate Devices". The "Subject Device" has a vertical attachment labeled "Vertical", while the "Predicate Devices" has an angled attachment labeled "Angle". Both devices appear to be made of metal and have a similar design with cylindrical sections and a central opening.

Picture 1: Subject Connector vs. TSRH® 90° Offset Predicate Connectors

The main difference between the subject connector and the TSRH® Standard Connectors is that the bone screw is assembled to the standard connector along side the rod while, for the subject 90° offset connector, the bone screw sits 90° offset the rod. Also, the subject device is designed to accept the screw vertically while the predicate standard connectors accept the set screw at an angle.

VII. Identification of Legally Marketed Devices:

TSRH® 3Dx 90° Offset Connector

Documentation was provided demonstrating that the TSRH® Spinal System is substantially equivalent to other commercially available fixation systems including TSRH® Spinal System in K021170 (S.E. 07/16/2002), K030285 (S.E. 02/25/2003), and CD HORIZON® Spinal System in K052054 (S.E. 08/09/2005).

VIII. Discussion of the Non-Clinical Testing

TSRH® 3Dx 90° Offset Connector

Medtronic believes that documentation provided demonstrates that the TSRH® 3Dx 90° Offset Connector is substantially equivalent to it predicates which were cleared in the TSRH® Spinal System.

The tests that were performed per ASTM F1798-97, Standard Guide for Evaluating the Static and Fatigue Properties of Interconnection Mechanisms and Subassemblies Used in Spinal Arthrodesis Implants, were axial grip around the rod, axial grip around the screw, axial torsion about the rod and flexion extension static.

The test that was performed per ASTM F1717-04, Standard Test Methods for Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model, was compression bending fatigue.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
