The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.
The EXPEDIUM™ Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.
The subject EXPEDIUM Spine System components consist of 5.5mm rods and are available in various geometries and sizes.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the EXPEDIUM Spine System, structured to answer your questions:
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the EXPEDIUM Spine System, specifically for additions to the existing system. The primary goal of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not necessarily to prove efficacy or performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria in the same way a PMA would. Therefore, the study details you're asking for, particularly concerning AI/algorithm performance and human reader improvement, are not applicable to this type of medical device submission. This document describes a surgical implant, not an AI/imaging device.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
For a spinal implant system like the EXPEDIUM Spine System, "acceptance criteria" are not reported in terms of diagnostic performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, etc.). Instead, they relate to mechanical and material performance standards to ensure the device is safe and effective when implanted.
| Acceptance Criteria (Standards) | Reported Device Performance (Compliance) |
|---|---|
| ASTM F 1717 | Performance data submitted to characterize subject EXPEDIUM™ Spine System components |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not detail a "test set" in the context of clinical data, as it's not a clinical study designed to test diagnostic accuracy. The performance data relates to mechanical testing of the implant components. Therefore, information about sample size, country of origin, and retrospective/prospective nature of a clinical test set is not applicable to this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This is not applicable. The ground truth for mechanical testing is established by engineering standards and measurement techniques, not by expert clinician consensus on clinical cases.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This is not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for clinical studies where expert consensus is needed to establish a ground truth from ambiguous cases.
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
This is not applicable. The EXPEDIUM Spine System is a physical surgical implant, not an AI or imaging device that would involve human readers or AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. The EXPEDIUM Spine System is a physical surgical implant, not an algorithm or software.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For this device, the "ground truth" for its performance is based on engineering standards and material science properties (e.g., strength, fatigue resistance, biocompatibility) as defined by standards like ASTM F 1537 (for material) and ASTM F 1717 (for mechanical testing of spine fusion constructs). There are no clinical outcomes data, pathology, or expert consensus used as ground truth for this type of submission's performance data.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable. This is a physical implant, not an AI model, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable.
Summary of what the document does provide:
- Device Type: Spinal implant system (rods, screws)
- Purpose of Submission: Special 510(k) for additions to an existing system, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
- Key Performance Data: Mechanical performance data per ASTM F 1717, and material characterization per ASTM F 1537. This data ensures the device meets established engineering standards for strength, durability, and biocompatibility suitable for its intended use.
- Intended Use: Immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for various spinal conditions (degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, failed previous fusion).
- Material: ASTM F 1537 implant grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy.
The document demonstrates that the new components for the EXPEDIUM Spine System are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices based on their design, materials, and mechanical performance testing, not on clinical performance against diagnostic or AI-related metrics.

§ 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.
