2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the test set (number of devices/components tested). The tests conducted are non-clinical (mechanical) and not patient-based. Thus, there is no country of origin for human data, and the data is retrospective in the sense that it relies on standardized mechanical testing protocols rather than clinical trials.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. This device's performance is demonstrated through mechanical engineering tests against ASTM standards, not expert interpretations of clinical data for ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Performance is determined by meeting mechanical test specifications, not through expert adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

Not applicable. This is a spinal fixation system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device. The study focused on mechanical performance, not human reader improvement with AI.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)

Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an algorithm. Its standalone performance is inherently its mechanical performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for evaluating the device is established by:

  • ASTM Standards: The mechanical tests (static compressive, static torsion, dynamic compressive) are performed according to recognized industry standards (ASTM F 1798-97, ASTM F 543-02, ASTM F 2193-02, ASTM F 1717-04). These standards define the acceptable performance parameters.
  • Predicate Device Performance: The primary comparative measure for "ground truth" in this 510(k) submission is the performance of legally marketed predicate devices (4S Spinal System K063708 and Optima Spinal System K031585). The Norm Spinal System is considered to meet the acceptance criteria if it performs "as well as or better than" these predicate devices.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. The device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The "training" for such a device would be its design and manufacturing process, optimized through engineering principles.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. The design and manufacturing processes of the device would be based on engineering principles and material science, aiming to meet the performance requirements of ASTM standards and match or exceed predicate device performance.

§ 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
