The Pyrenees and K2M Cervical Plate Systems are indicated for use in anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis, trauma (including fractures), spinal stenosis and tumors (primary and metastatic), failed previous fusions (pseudarthrosis) and deformity (defined as scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis).
The Pyrenees Cervical Plate System is a spinal fixation system which consists of cervical screws and plates. All of the components are available in a variety of sizes to match more closely the patient's anatomy. Materials: The devices are manufactured from Commercially Pure titanium alloy per ASTM and ISO standards. Function: The system functions as an adjunct to fusion to provide immobilization of cervical segments of the spine.
This document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device called the "Pyrenees Cervical Plate System, Semi-constrained Screw." It is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and supporting studies:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Criteria Category | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance | Equivalent to or better than predicate devices in ASTM F1717 testing. | The Pyrenees Cervical Plate System was mechanically tested and compared to the predicate systems and other currently marketed systems and performed equal to or better than these systems in ASTM testing to F1717. |
| Design Features | Substantially the same as predicate devices. | The design features and sizing of the components were also compared and the Pyrenees Cervical Plate System found to be substantially the same as these systems. |
| Materials | Same materials as predicate devices. | It is manufactured from the same materials (Commercially Pure titanium alloy per ASTM and ISO standards) as these systems. |
| Intended Use | Same intended uses as predicate devices. | It is indicated for the same intended uses as these systems: anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for degenerative disc disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis, trauma (including fractures), spinal stenosis and tumors (primary and metastatic), failed previous fusions (pseudarthrosis) and deformity (defined as scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis). |
| Overall Equivalence | No significant differences compared to predicate devices in design, function, material, and intended use. | There are no significant differences between the Pyrenees Cervical Plate Systems currently being marketed. It is substantially equivalent to these other devices in design, function, material and intended use. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document states "mechanically tested," implying physical testing, but does not provide details on the number of devices or components tested.
- Data Provenance: The study is described as "mechanical testing" and "comparison to predicate systems and other currently marketed systems." This is laboratory-based testing, not human patient data. Therefore, questions of country of origin or retrospective/prospective are not applicable in this context.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of study (mechanical testing for substantial equivalence of a spinal implant) does not typically involve human "experts" establishing a clinical ground truth in the way a diagnostic AI might. The "ground truth," in this case, is defined by the objective performance standards of ASTM F1717 and the characteristics of the predicate devices. The "experts" involved would be engineering and regulatory professionals performing and analyzing the mechanical tests and comparing specifications, but their number and specific qualifications are not detailed.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This is not a clinical study requiring human adjudication for data interpretation. The "adjudication" is based on meeting the defined mechanical test standards and comparing physical and functional characteristics to predicate devices.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance
Not applicable. This document describes a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (spinal implant), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Not applicable, as this is not an algorithm or AI device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this submission is:
- Mechanical Performance Standards: Specifically, ASTM F1717 for mechanical testing.
- Predicate Device Specifications: The documented design features, materials, and intended uses of previously cleared, legally marketed spinal plate systems.
- Regulatory Definitions: The FDA's criteria for substantial equivalence under 510(k).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.
