Intended Use

When used as a pedicle screw fixation system in the lumbar spine of skeletally mature patients, the IST Pedicle Screw System is intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the lumbar spine: 1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) 2) spinal stenosis, 3) spondylolisthesis, 4) fracture, 5) deformity, 6) spinal tumor and 7) failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).

In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the IST Pedicle Screw System is intended for skeletally mature patients: 1) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, 2) who are receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft only; 3) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and 4) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass.

Device Description

The IST Pedicle Screw System includes pedicle screws. polyaxial screw heads, locking caps and rods. The components are fabricated from titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). The system can be used in either percutaneous or open surgery procedures. The system components are provided clean and nonsterile for steam sterilization at the user's facility.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Innovative Spinal Technologies Pedicle Screw System. It provides information for marketing the device. However, it does not contain any performance data from a study used to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria.

Here's why and what's missing:

  • "PERFORMANCE DATA: Performance data were submitted." This line indicates that performance data was submitted to the FDA, but the document itself does not present or describe that data, nor does it list specific acceptance criteria.
  • 510(k) Pre-market Notification: A 510(k) is a pre-market submission demonstrating that the device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. While this process may involve some performance testing, the 510(k) summary provided here focuses on the device description, intended use, and substantial equivalence, rather than detailed study results against acceptance criteria as requested in the prompt.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes and data provenance (for a study of performance).
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study details.
  6. Standalone performance details.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document serves as a regulatory clearance document, not a detailed scientific study report.

§ 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.
