Intended Use

The ISOLA Spinal System is a pedicle screw system 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: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).

The ISOLA Spinal System is also indicated for pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 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.

The ISOLA Spinal System is also a hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation system of the noncervical spine indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture and/or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis), tumor, and previous failed fusion (pseudarthrosis).

The ISOLA Spinal System when used with pedicle screws is indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Levels of fixation are for the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

Device Description

The CrossOver Cross Connector is designed to transversely connect two rods used in spinal instrumentation constructs. The connector minimizes the torsional forces on the construct, thus reducing the micromotion and the probability of the construct shifting after placement. It is designed to accommodate the 4.75mm and 6.35mm spinal rods of the ISOLA Spinal System

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the CrossOver Cross Connector. It describes the device, its intended use, and indicates that performance data was submitted, but it does not explicitly detail acceptance criteria or the specific study that proves the device meets those criteria, especially in a way that aligns with AI/ML device testing standards.

The document is from 2002, which predates the widespread use of AI/ML in medical devices and the associated regulatory requirements for describing AI/ML performance evaluation studies. Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI/ML device testing (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable or not present in this type of regulatory submission.

Based on the information provided, here's what can be extracted and what cannot:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not explicitly stated in the provided text. The document states "Performance data were submitted to characterize the CrossOver Cross Connector," but does not detail the criteria or the results.Not explicitly stated in the provided text. The document indicates that the device was found substantially equivalent to predicate devices, implying its performance was considered acceptable for its intended use.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample size: Not applicable/Not provided. The "performance data" mentioned likely refers to mechanical testing or other non-clinical evaluations rather than a clinical "test set" in the context of AI/ML.
  • Data provenance: Not applicable/Not provided.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant; it does not involve expert interpretation for establishing a ground truth in the way an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic device would.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable.

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:

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • For a mechanical device like this, ground truth would typically relate to established engineering standards (e.g., material strength, fatigue life, mechanical stability) and biomechanical testing results rather than clinical "ground truth" derived from patient outcomes or expert consensus. The document does not specify the exact nature of the performance data, but it likely involved bench testing confirming structural integrity and biomechanical properties.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable.

§ 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.
