Syntec OS Spinal Fixation 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 the following:

Degenerative disc disease .
Spondylolisthesis .
Trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation) .
Spinal stenosis .
Deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) ●
. Tumor
. Pseudoarthrosis
. Failed previous fusion

Device Description

The Syntec OS Spinal Fixation System is manufactured from titanium alloy (as per ASTM F136) and is designed with various sizes to provide stabilization as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery. Surgeons can use our top loading technique through the screws and rods to fix the components into a U-shaped opening

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria	Reported Device Performance
Static axial compression	Performed; device functioned as intended and showed substantial equivalence to predicate.
Dynamic axial compression	Performed; device functioned as intended and showed substantial equivalence to predicate.
Static torsion	Performed; device functioned as intended and showed substantial equivalence to predicate.

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

The document does not explicitly state the "sample size used for the test set" in terms of a number of physical devices. Instead, it refers to "the modified and predicate systems" being tested. There is no information regarding the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for these tests.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The study involved engineering analysis and performance testing of the device itself against established ASTM standards, not the interpretation of human physiological data. Therefore, the concept of "ground truth" established by experts in a clinical context (like radiologists) does not apply here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document. As mentioned above, the testing involved physical device performance against standards, not expert adjudication of clinical outcomes.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The reported performance data relates to engineering tests of the device itself (mechanical properties) and not to human reader interpretation or clinical outcomes.

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

Yes, the testing described appears to be a standalone performance evaluation of the device itself, without human-in-the-loop interaction.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" in this context is the performance standards defined by ASTM F1717 for static and dynamic axial compression and static torsion tests. The device's performance was compared against these established engineering standards and against the performance of a predicate device.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable and is not provided. The study is a performance evaluation of a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

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

This information is not applicable and is not provided, as there is no training set for a machine learning algorithm.

Performance Data

Performance testing and engineering analysis was performed and submitted to characterize the modified components of the system. Static and dynamic axial compression and static torsion tests in accordance with ASTM F1717 were performed on the modified and predicate systems. The modified device functioned as intended and the observed test results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Conclusion:

The Syntec OS Spinal Fixation System uses established surgical techniques and does not introduce new concerns regarding safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the system may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Chang:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
