The CD HORIZON® Spinal System consists of a variety of rods, hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® plates, staples, and other connecting components used to build a spinal construct. Instrumentation is also available to facilitate implantation of the device components.
Certain implant components from other Medtronic Sofamor Danek spinal systems can be used with the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. These components include TSRH® rods, hooks, screws, plates, CROSSLINK® plates, connectors, staples and washers; GDLH® rods, hooks, connectors and CROSSLINK® bar and connectors; LIBERTY® rods and screws; DYNALOK PLUS® bolts; and Medtronic Sofamor Danek Multi-Axial rods and screws.
CD HORIZON® hooks are intended for posterior use only. CD HORIZON® staples and CD HORIZON® ECLIPSE® rods and screws are intended for anterior use only. However, for patients of smaller stature, CD HORIZON® 4.5mm rods and associated components may be used posteriorly.
The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to add titanium 4.5mm rods and associated components for posterior use for patients of smaller stature.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. It outlines the product description, indications for use, and confirms substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to acceptance criteria and supporting studies:
-
Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This document does not report specific acceptance criteria or quantitative device performance metrics in the way one would expect for a diagnostic or AI-driven medical device. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Therefore, a table cannot be generated in the traditional sense of acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy thresholds) and reported performance values. The "performance" being evaluated here is the safety and effectiveness of the device as a spinal implant system, implicitly by showing it is as safe and effective as a previously approved device.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not describe a "test set" or provide information related to a study with patient data or clinical outcomes for a novel device. The submission is a 510(k) premarket notification, which relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence. This typically involves comparing the new device's technological characteristics and proposed indications for use to those of a legally marketed predicate device.
There is no mention of patient data, clinical trials, or any form of a "test set" from a specific country or study type (retrospective/prospective) for this specific submission.
-
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)
As there is no described "test set" or clinical study with patient data for ground truth establishment, this information is not applicable and not provided in the document.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Similarly, as there is no described "test set" or clinical study, an adjudication method is not applicable and not provided.
-
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 device is a spinal implant system (mechanical hardware), not an AI-driven or diagnostic imaging device. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not relevant and not mentioned in this document.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Again, as this is a spinal implant system, not an algorithm or AI device, a standalone performance study as described is not applicable and not present in the document.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The concept of "ground truth" as typically used for AI/diagnostic devices (e.g., pathology for cancer diagnosis) is not directly applicable to this 510(k) submission for a spinal implant. The "proof" for this device lies in demonstrating its substantial equivalence in terms of design, materials, and intended use to an existing legally marketed device, implying comparable safety and effectiveness.
- For such mechanical devices, "ground truth" might indirectly relate to successful long-term clinical outcomes of the predicate device, but this document does not detail specific "ground truth" methodologies for its own assessment.
-
The sample size for the training set
This document describes a spinal implant system, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set" as understood in the context of AI/algorithms, and no sample size for such a set is provided.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
As there is no training set mentioned, the establishment of its ground truth is not applicable.
Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria (Substantial Equivalence):
The "study" or justification for the device meeting acceptance criteria in the context of this 510(k) submission is a demonstration of substantial equivalence to itself (the CD HORIZON® Spinal System) and other existing predicate devices from Medtronic Sofamor Danek.
The document states: "Documentation was provided which demonstrated the CD HORIZON® Spinal System to be substantially equivalent to itself." This implies that the specific submission (K020709) is either for a minor modification or an expansion of the existing CD HORIZON® Spinal System (e.g., adding titanium 4.5mm rods for posterior use for smaller stature patients, as mentioned in Section III).
The FDA's letter confirms this by stating they reviewed the premarket notification and "determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices."
Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are the regulatory requirements for showing that the modified or expanded device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring a Pre-Market Approval (PMA). This is typically achieved through:
- Comparison of Indications for Use: Ensuring the proposed indications are the same or very similar to the predicate.
- Comparison of Technological Characteristics: Demonstrating that differences in design, materials, or performance characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
- Performance Data (if necessary): Depending on the changes, bench testing, biocompatibility testing, or other non-clinical data might be required to support the equivalence claim. However, this document does not detail such specific testing in K020709.
In essence, the "study" is the 510(k) submission itself, where the applicant provides a detailed comparison and justification, which the FDA then reviews to determine substantial equivalence. No specific clinical trial or performance study on a "test set" for this particular submission is described in the provided text.
§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
