Intended Use

The 4CIS SARA Spine System and 4CIS VERTU Spine System is a pedicle screw system indicated for the weathern of severe Spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal of the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion.

In addition, the 4CIS SARA Spine System and 4CIS VERTU Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine: degenerative Spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, spinal tumor and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).

Device Description

The Spinal Fixation System is a top-loading posterior spinal fixation system which consists of pedicle screws, rods, nuts, transverse (cross) link and associated instruments. Rigid fixation is provided by pedicle screws inserted into the vertebral body through pedicle of the lumbar spine via posterior approach. This system will allow surgeons to build a spinal implant construct to stabilize and promote spinal fusion through open surgery. Implant components can be rigidly locked into a variety of different configurations to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the mature patient. The implant components are supplied non-sterile single use and are fabricated from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) and Cobalt Chromium alloy that conforms to ASTM F136 and ASTM F1537 respectively. Also, Specialized instruments are available for the application and removal of the Spinal Fixation System.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the "4CIS SARA Spine System" and "4CIS VERTU Spine System." It describes the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria related to a diagnostic or AI-based function.

Instead, the "Performance Data" section states:

"Mechanical testing (static and dynamic compression bending, static tension bending, static torsion) is conducted in accordance with ASTM F1717. Static Tension Test, Static Torsion test, Static Compression test & Dynamic Compression bending test (Fatigue Test) meets performance requirement against predicates."

This indicates that the performance evaluation for this spine system is based on mechanical testing, not on diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or any other metrics typically associated with AI/ML-based medical devices or diagnostic tools. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment cannot be extracted from this document.

The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on:

  • Indications for Use: The devices have the "same or similar indications for use statements."
  • Material: Composed of the "same material as the predicate devices" (titanium alloy and cobalt chromium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 and ASTM F1537 respectively).
  • Design and Function: "Share similar basic design features and functions as well as their dimensions."
  • Mechanical Performance: Demonstrated to meet performance requirements against predicates through mechanical testing according to ASTM F1717.

TITLE: 510(k) Summary

§ 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.
