The LEUCADIA AUTOLOK™ Pedicle Screw System is intended to be used as an adjunct to fusion using autograft or allograft in posterior, non-cervical fixation for the following conditions: Degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion.
The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System is intended to help provide correction, immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral space. The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System consists of a variety of rods and screws, which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor made for the individual case. The Multi-axial AutoLok™ screws are supplied in 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8 mm diameter sizes. All sizes can receive 5.5mm connecting rods only. The unique pedicle screw and set screw interface is designed to prevent backout of the set screw from the construct. The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System implant components are fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136 or equivalent. The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System is a temporary implant system, intended to be removed after solid fusion has occurred. Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System implant components should not be used with components from any other system or manufacturer. As with all orthopedic implants, Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System components should not be reused.
The LEUCADIA AUTOLOK™ Pedicle Screw System is a medical device. The provided text describes its indications for use and mentions biomechanical tests performed to demonstrate its equivalence to predicate devices. However, it does not contain the specific details required to answer all parts of your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI-powered device.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted from the given text and what cannot:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document states:
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Biomechanical performance according to ASTM F1717-15 for Static Compression Bending, Static Torsion, and Dynamic Compression Bending. | The test results were equivalent to the predicate device(s) and other similar implants legally marketed and are sufficient for in vivo loading. |
Missing Information: The specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., specific load thresholds, displacement limits) stated in ASTM F1717-15 are not detailed in this document. The document only states that the device's performance was "equivalent" and "sufficient."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size: Not specified for the biomechanical tests. Biomechanical tests typically use a determined number of test articles for each test condition.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. Biomechanical tests are conducted in a laboratory setting, not typically based on patient data provenance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This question is not applicable to the provided information. The document describes a traditional medical device (pedicle screw system), not an AI-powered diagnostic or decision support device. Biomechanical testing for such devices does not involve expert readers or establishing ground truth based on their interpretations.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 3.
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:
This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 3.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This question is not applicable as this is not an AI-powered device. The device itself (pedicle screw system) is a standalone implant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
For this type of device, the "ground truth" for proving performance is established through biomechanical testing standards (ASTM F1717-15 in this case). The "truth" is that the device meets the physical and mechanical requirements defined by these standards, which are considered sufficient for in vivo loading.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This question is not applicable as this is not an AI-powered device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This question is not applicable as this is not an AI-powered device that requires a training set or ground truth in that context.

§ 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.
