Intended Use

The EBI CAS Spine Spacer System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1- L5) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The EBI CAS Spine Spacer System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The EBI CAS Spine Spacer System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period of time. The system must be used in conjunction with the EBI NGC Spinal System, EBI Omega 21 Spinal System, EBI Spinal System, or the EBI Array Spinal System.

Device Description

The CAS Spine Spacer System is design modification of the EBI ESL Spine Spacer System. The EBI CAS Spine System is a vertebral body replacement device consisting of one curved implant. The pyramidal teeth on the superior and inferior ends resist expulsion in all directions. The device is available in flat or lordotic angles. The device is open in the transverse plane to allow the surgeon to pack the device with bone graft prior to insertion. There are also holes through the anterior-posterior direction to allow for more bone growth through the device. The EBI CAS Spine Spacer System is intended for use with the EBI NGC Spinal System, the EBI Omega21™ Spinal System, EBI SpineLink™ II Spinal System, or the EBI Array Spinal System as a supplemental internal fixation system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the EBI CAS Spine Spacer System does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving the device meets specific performance criteria. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through a comparison of technological characteristics, intended use, materials, and function.

The key points from the document regarding performance are:

  • Mechanical testing: "Mechanical testing comparing the EBI ESL Spine Spacer System to a predicate system demonstrated that the device complies with applicable standards and guidelines and meets all of its functional requirements."

Without specific details on the "applicable standards and guidelines," the "functional requirements," or the results of the "mechanical testing," it's impossible to create the requested table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.

Therefore, many of the requested sections (sample size, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth type, training set details) cannot be answered from the provided text.

Based on the available information, here is what can be inferred:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not explicitly stated in the document. The general criteria would be compliance with applicable standards and functional requirements for spinal fixation devices.Demonstrated compliance with "applicable standards and guidelines and meets all of its functional requirements" through mechanical testing when compared to a predicate device (EBI ESL Spine Spacer System).

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

  • Sample size: Not specified. The document mentions "mechanical testing" but does not detail the number of units or any other sample size for this testing.
  • Data provenance: Not specified, but given it's mechanical testing of a medical device, it would be laboratory-based testing rather than clinical data from a specific country or patient population. It is a retrospective comparison to a predicate device's performance.

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

  • Not applicable as this was mechanical testing, not a study requiring expert readers to establish ground truth for image interpretation or clinical outcomes.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not applicable as this was mechanical testing, not a study requiring adjudication of expert readings.

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

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This 510(k) pertains to a physical medical implant (spinal spacer), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology.

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

  • Not applicable, as this is a physical medical implant and not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • For mechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be established by engineering specifications, material properties, and performance standards for spinal implants (e.g., strength, fatigue resistance, stability) as defined by regulatory bodies and relevant ASTM standards. These were presumably used in the "applicable standards and guidelines."

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable, as this is a physical medical implant, not an AI system that requires a training set.

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

  • Not applicable, as this is a physical medical implant.

    1. Comparison of the technological characteristics of the device to predicate devices: There are no significant differences between the EBI CAS Spine Spacer System and other currently marketed spine systems. The EBI CAS Spine Spacer System is substantially equivalent* to the predicate devices in regards to intended use, materials and function. Mechanical testing comparing the EBI ESL Spine Spacer System to a predicate system demonstrated that the device complies with applicable standards and guidelines and meets all of its functional requirements.
  • Any statement made in conjunction with this submission regarding a determination of substantial equivalence to any other product is intended only to relate the product can be lawfully marketed without pre-market approval or reclassification and is not intended to be interpreted as an admission or any other type of evidence in patent infringement litigation.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.
