The CONTOUR II™ Spinal System is intended for noncervical, pedicle fixation 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, including degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).
In addition, the CONTOUR II™ Spinal System is intended for skeletally mature patients with severe spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, who are receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below), with removal of the implants after the attainment of solid fusion.
The CONTOUR II™ Spinal System (KWP) is also intended for use as a posterior noncervical, nonpedicle system indicated for degenerative disc disease which is defined as back pain of dicogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities such as scoliosis, lordosis, tumor, pseudoarthosis, or revision of failed fusion attempts.
When used as an anterior fixation system, the CONTOUR II™ Spinal System (KWO) is indicated for patients with degenerative disc disease which is defined as back pain of the discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities such as scoliosis, lordosis, tumor. pseudoarthosis, or revision of failed fusion attempts.
The CONTOUR II™ Spinal System is an anterior / posterior spinal fixation system consisting of pedicle screws, L and straight connecting rods as well as a variety of clamps and cross connectors. The CONTOUR II™ implant components are fabricated from Ti-6AI-4V ELI per ASTM F 136. Various sizes of these implants are available.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the CONTOUR II™ Spinal System, a medical device for spinal fixation. It details the device's indications for use, its classification, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI/ML device.
The 510(k) process for a Class II medical device like the CONTOUR II™ Spinal System focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting performance metrics and acceptance criteria from a study in the way an AI/ML device would. The "safety information" section on page 4 describes user qualifications rather than device performance.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as the necessary information (acceptance criteria, device performance table, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone performance studies, training set details) is not present in the provided text.
§ 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.
