Intended Use

The Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone factures. The indications for use include, but are not limited to, the following applications:

  • Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar, interspinous, or facet wiring techniques
  • Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis,
  • Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions;

The Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of stainless steel whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

Device Description

The Universal Clamp Stainless Steel System is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical implants made of stainless steel whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Abbott Spine Universal Clamp® Stainless Steel System. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets specific performance criteria.

Instead, the document focuses on:

  • Device Description: A temporary orthopedic implant for stabilization during bone fusion and fracture repair, used with other stainless steel implants for "wiring."
  • Indications for Use: Spinal trauma, reconstructive, and degenerative surgery, and in conjunction with other stainless steel implants where wiring helps secure attachment.
  • Substantial Equivalence: The primary basis for clearance is demonstrated through "Engineering evaluations and bench testing" which showed the Stainless Steel system is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared titanium alloy version (K060009).

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as the provided text does not contain the necessary information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance tables, sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details. The device's approval is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, supported by engineering evaluations and bench testing, rather than a clinical study with specific performance outcomes against acceptance criteria.

Dear Ms. Elias:

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.
