Intended Use

The VIPER® F2 Facet Fixation System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion by the transfacet fixation method only:

Transfacet fixation: - The screws are inserted bilaterally through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint and into the inferior pedicle.

This system is indicated for the posterior surgical treatment of any or all of the following at the L1 to S1 (inclusive) spinal levels: 1) Trauma, including spinal fractures and/or dislocations; 2) Spondylolisthesis; 3) Spondylolysis; 4) Pseudoarthrosis or failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; 5) Degenerative diseases which include: (a) degenerative disc disease (ddd) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by patient history with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by radiographic studies and/or (b) degenerative disease of the facets with instability.

Device Description

The screws and washers that are the subject components of this submission are modified DISCOVERY® System screws and washers that are available in various geometries and sizes. Manufactured from ASTM F 136 implant grade titanium alloy.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the VIPER® F2 Facet Fixation System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through nonclinical mechanical testing, rather than device performance against specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving their fulfillment cannot be extracted from this document in the typical sense of AI/medical device performance evaluation.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics in the way a diagnostic AI device summary would. Instead, the "device performance" is demonstrated through nonclinical mechanical testing and comparison to predicate devices, implying that if the device performs comparably to legally marketed devices, it meets the unstated "acceptance criteria" for safety and effectiveness.

Nonclinical Test Summary and Implied Performance:

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Mechanical integrity under static compression bending (similar to predicate)Device underwent static compression bending in accordance with ASTM F1798. (Performance results not explicitly stated, but deemed substantially equivalent to predicates.)
Mechanical integrity under dynamic compression bending (similar to predicate)Device underwent dynamic compression bending in accordance with ASTM F1798. (Performance results not explicitly stated, but deemed substantially equivalent to predicates.)
Mechanical integrity under static three-point bending (similar to predicate)Device underwent static three-point bending in accordance with ASTM F1798. (Performance results not explicitly stated, but deemed substantially equivalent to predicates.)
Mechanical integrity under dynamic three-point bending (similar to predicate)Device underwent dynamic three-point bending in accordance with ASTM F1798. (Performance results not explicitly stated, but deemed substantially equivalent to predicates.)
Equivalence in materials, manufacturing methods, sterility, biocompatibility, safety, and packaging design to predicate devices.Stated as a basis for substantial equivalence comparison.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not applicable as the study did not involve a test set of data points (e.g., medical images, patient records) for evaluation of the device's diagnostic or predictive performance. The "testing" involved mechanical benchmarks of the physical device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable. The device is an implantable medical device, not an AI or diagnostic tool requiring ground truth established by medical experts for performance evaluation. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by engineering standards (ASTM F1798).

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable. There was no clinical test set or human interpretation involved that would require an adjudication method.

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

There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study done. This device is a surgical implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for the nonclinical mechanical testing was based on engineering standards (ASTM F1798) for evaluating spinal arthrodesis implants.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. There was no training set involved as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable. There was no training set.

Summary of the Study:

The study proving the device meets acceptance criteria was a nonclinical mechanical testing program involving static and dynamic compression bending, and static and dynamic three-point bending, all conducted in accordance with ASTM F1798. The intent was to demonstrate that the modified components of the VIPER® F2 Facet Fixation System perform mechanically comparably to its predicate devices. No clinical tests were performed. The FDA's substantial equivalence determination was based on this nonclinical testing and comparison of intended use, design, materials, manufacturing methods, performance, sterility, biocompatibility, safety, and packaging design to legally marketed predicate devices.
