Intended Use

The TranS1® Facet Screws are to supplement legally marketed anterior fusion products in order to create an anterior/posterior fixation construct as an aid to fusion.

The facet screws may be implanted using one of two techniques: transfacetpedicular or translaminar. The screws are inserted bilaterally through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint (usually) at a single level and into the pedicle. Alternatively, the facet screws may be cross inserted from the base of the spinous process into the opposite lamina and across the facet joint into the base of the lower vertebral transverse process. Bone graft must be used for both fixation methods.

For both techniques, the system is indicated for the posterior surgical treatment at C2-S1 (inclusive) spinal levels for the following: Spondylolisthesis; Spondylolysis; Pseudarthrosis or failed previous fusions which are symptomatic; Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies and/or degenerative disease of the facets with instability.

Device Description

The TranS1® Facet Screws are made of medical grade titanium alloy conforming to such standards as ASTM F-136 and/or ISO 5832-3 or ASTM F-138 Stainless Steel.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets specific criteria. The document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for TranS1® Facet Screws, which primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices and defining the device's intended use and technological characteristics.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table, sample sizes, expert details, adjudication methods, MRMC study information, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details as this information is not present in the provided text.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

Documentation was provided to demonstrate that the modified TranS1® Facet Screws are substantially equivalent to the original TranS1® Facet Screws (K051816) and the predicate Medtronic Sofamor Danek Townley Transfacetpedicular Screw Fixation System (K003928) and the Sofamor Danek Transfacetpedicular Screw Fixation System (K953076). The Trans1 devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in intended use, level of attachment, materials, labeling, sterilization, and technological characteristics.

Dear Mr. Jackson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
