AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the TSRH® Spinal System, outlining its re-submission to add modified connectors. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or specific studies demonstrating device performance against such criteria. Instead, it focuses on arguing for "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared devices without requiring new clinical testing.

Therefore, most of your requested information cannot be extracted from this document, as it explicitly states "This submission reflects merely a wording change and therefore no additional testing is required."

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Cannot be provided. The document states "no additional testing is required" because the submission is for a "wording change" and modified connectors, which do not "alter the safety and effectiveness of the device." Therefore, no new performance data or acceptance criteria are presented for this specific submission. The established performance and safety are implicitly linked to the predicate devices.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Cannot be provided. No new test set data was generated or used for this submission.

3. 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)

  • Cannot be provided. No new test set data was generated or used for this submission, and therefore no ground truth establishment exercise is described.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Cannot be provided. No new test set data was generated or used for this submission.

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

  • Cannot be provided. This document concerns a spinal implant system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

  • Cannot be provided. This document concerns a spinal implant system, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Cannot be provided. No new ground truth was established for this submission. The safety and effectiveness are established through substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which would have had prior clinical data or engineering tests.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Cannot be provided. No "training set" in the context of an algorithm or machine learning is relevant to this device submission.

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

  • Cannot be provided. No "training set" in the context of an algorithm or machine learning is relevant to this device submission.

Summary of the document's relevance to your questions:

The document clearly states that "no additional testing is required" for this specific 510(k) submission (K062807). The basis for clearance is "wording change" in the indications for use and modified connectors, and the assertion that these changes "do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device." The submission relies on "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared predicate devices (K030033 and K052151). Therefore, the information you're requesting regarding new studies, acceptance criteria, sample sizes, and expert adjudications is not present in this document because such studies were explicitly deemed unnecessary for this submission.

§ 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.
