Intended Use

The NVM5® System is a medical device that is intended for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery. The device provides information directly to the surgeon, to help assess a patient's neurophysiologic status. NVM5 provides this information by electrically stimulating nerves via electrodes located on surgical accessories and monitoring electromyography (EMG), transcranial motor evoked potential (TcMEP) or somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) responses of nerves.

  • XLIF (Detection) The XLIF (Detection) function allows the surgeon to locate and evaluate spinal nerves, and is used as a nerve avoidance tool.
  • Basic & Dynamic Screw Test The Screw Test functions allow the surgeon to locate and evaluate spinal nerves by providing proximity information during or after bone preparation and placement of bone screws.
  • Free Run EMG The Free Run EMG function identifies spontaneous EMG activity of spinal nerves by continually displaying a live stream waveform of any mechanically induced myotome contractions.
  • Twitch Test (Train of Four) - The Twitch Test Function allows the surgeon to assess moderate degrees of neuromuscular block in effect by evaluating muscle contraction following a train of four stimulation pulses.
  • TcMEP Transcranial stimulation techniques for motor evoked potentials are used to assess for acute dysfunction in axonal conduction of the corticospinal tract. The TcMEP function provides an adjunctive method to allow the surgeon to monitor spinal cord motor pathway integrity during procedures with a risk of surgically induced motor injury.
  • SSEP The SSEP function allows the surgeon to assess sensory spinal cord function in surgical procedures during which the spinal cord is at risk.
  • Remote Reader The Remote Reader function provides real time remote access to the NVM5 System for a monitoring physician outside of the operating room.
  • Guidance - The Guidance function is intended as an aid for use in either open or percutaneous pedicle cannulation procedures in the lumbar spine of adult patients, and when used in conjunction with radiographic imaging and EMG, allows the surgeon to assess the angulation of system accessories relative to patient spinal anatomy for the creation of a cannulation trajectory for bone screw placement.

AI/ML Overview

The NuVasive NVM5 System is a medical device intended for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during spinal surgery. The system provides information directly to the surgeon to help assess a patient's neurophysiologic status by electrically stimulating nerves and monitoring electromyography (EMG), transcranial motor evoked potential (TcMEP), or somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) responses of nerves.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and reported device performance by comparing the NuVasive NVM5 System with predicate devices. The primary method for demonstrating acceptance is through substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, supported by nonclinical performance testing.

Feature/SpecificationAcceptance Criteria (Predicate Device K050438 - StealthStation®)Reported Device Performance (NuVasive NVM5 Guidance - K112718)
Intended Use / Indications for Use (Guidance Function)"Precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures... for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure... can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy." (Specifically for pedicle cannulation)"Aid for use in percutaneous pedicle cannulation in the lumbar spine of adult patients, and in conjunction with radiographic imaging that allows the surgeon to assess the angulation of accessories relative to patient spinal anatomy for the creation of a cannulation trajectory for bone cement."
Input DataRequires input derived from CT, MRI, or radiographic imagesRequires input derived from CT, MRI, or radiographic images
Assistance to SurgeonIntended to assist the surgeon in cannulating the pedicle based on user predefined trajectory Integrated with EMG stimulationIntended to assist the surgeon in cannulating the pedicle based on user predefined trajectory with EMG stimulation
Sensing TechnologyReferences angular and position sensing technology coupled with associated tracking instrumentsReferences angular sensing technology coupled with associated tracking instruments
C-Arm ReticleUtilizes a C-Arm Reticle with radio dense markersUtilizes a C-Arm Reticle with radio dense markers
Scientific Principles (Sensing DOF)Uses infrared technology to capture positional and rotational information via 6 DOF (x, y, z, rx, ry, rz) data. Displays the location and orientation (positional and rotational information in the x, y, and z planes) of instruments in real time merged with pre-operatively obtained images of patient anatomy.Uses accelerometers to sense angular measurements based on gravity by collecting 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) (rx, ry) data. Displays instrument orientation only (rotational information in the x and y planes only) with respect to gravity.
Performance RequirementsAngular tolerance of ±2°. Confirmation of alignment to pre-planned trajectory. Seamlessly integrated with an insulated Jamshidi Needle.Angular tolerance of ±2°. Confirmation of alignment to pre-planned trajectory. Seamlessly integrated with an insulated Jamshidi Needle.
Conformance with StandardsIEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2

Conclusion on Equivalence: The document states "Yes – the Guidance function has limited indications compared to the predicate. The reduced degree of data collected by Guidance is still deemed substantially equivalent since it is used in conjunction with fluoroscopic imaging, not indicated for used by the predicate StealthStation. The amount of data collected by Guidance is sufficient to provide angular outputs to compare against the angular inputs identified by the user as the planned trajectory, considering that intraoperative radiographic imaging is used to confirm the starting point and correct trajectory of the cannulation needle." This indicates the device meets the criteria for its specified (more limited) use.

Performance Data for other functionalities (EMG, TcMEP, SSEP, accessories): Demonstrated through compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-40, IEC 60601-1-2, and various accessory-specific tests (impedance, current density, electrical performance, biocompatibility, sterilization, penetration/friction).

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

The document does not explicitly state a sample size for a test set in the conventional sense of a clinical study with patients. The performance data primarily relies on:

  • Nonclinical Bench Testing: This includes electrical safety, compatibility, impedance, current density, electrical performance, durability, fluid interference, biocompatibility, sterilization validation, penetration, and friction testing. These tests are typically conducted in a laboratory setting.
  • Comparison to Predicate Devices: The primary method for proving substantial equivalence.
  • Reference to Published Clinical Literature: For the Guidance performance testing, two published clinical literature articles are referenced:
    • "Accuracy of percutaneous lumbar pedicle screw placement using the oblique or 'owl's-eve' view and novel guidance technology" (J Neurosurg Spine. 2010)
    • "Improving accuracy and reducing radiation exposure in minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion" (J Neurosurg Spine, 2010)"

The document does not provide details on the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for any clinical data that might have contributed to these published works, nor does it specify if a dedicated prospective test set was used for the NVM5 System itself beyond the bench testing.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The document describes nonclinical performance testing and refers to published clinical literature, but it does not detail the methodology for establishing ground truth or the involvement/qualifications of experts in the context of a "test set" for the NVM5 device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document. Given that the testing primarily involves nonclinical bench tests and comparison to predicate devices, a formal adjudication method for a "test set" in the context of clinical ground truth is not described.

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

A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned in the document. The device is for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and guidance, which directly provides information to the surgeon. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging interpretation tool where human readers assess cases with and without AI.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

The document describes the performance of the NVM5 System as a device providing information to the surgeon for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring and guidance. The "Guidance" function explicitly states it is "an aid for use... when used in conjunction with radiographic imaging and EMG, allows the surgeon to assess the angulation..." This indicates it's designed to be used with a human (surgeon) in the loop and does not refer to a standalone, algorithm-only performance assessment in the absence of human interaction or interpretation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the Guidance function's accuracy testing, the ground truth appears to be based on:

  • Engineering measurements: Demonstrating "equivalent degrees of variance" between the accelerometer-based NVM5 Guidance function and the infrared tracking from the StealthStation predicate device.
  • Clinical Outcomes from Literature: Supplemented by the results from two referenced clinical literature articles concerning the accuracy of pedicle screw placement and radiation exposure in minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion. While these articles would have used surgical outcomes or imaging (e.g., post-op CT) to establish ground truth for screw placement accuracy, the specific ground truth methodology for these studies is not detailed in the 510(k) summary itself.

For other functions (EMG, TcMEP, SSEP), the ground truth is implicitly established through:

  • Compliance with electrical safety and performance standards (IEC 60601-x series): This ensures the device reliably measures and stimulates as expected for neurophysiological monitoring.
  • Bench testing of accessories: Ensures components meet specifications for electrical properties, biocompatibility, and sterilization.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document pertains to a 510(k) submission for a medical device that monitors neurophysiological responses and aids in surgical guidance. It does not describe a machine learning or AI algorithm in a way that would involve a distinct "training set." Therefore, a sample size for a training set is not applicable and not provided.

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

As there is no mention of a machine learning or AI algorithm requiring a training set, the establishment of ground truth for such a set is not applicable and not provided. The ground truth for the device's performance, as described, is based on engineering principles, compliance with medical device standards, and substantial equivalence to established predicate devices.

G. Performance Data

Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject NVM5 Sustem is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices and to verify that the NVM5 Sustem meets design specifications and performance characteristics, based upon the intended use. The NVM5® System was subjected to electrical safety and compatibility testing and was certified to the following standards, including all applicable normative reference standards:

  • . IEC 60601-1 (1988), A1 (1991), A2 (1995): Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety
  • IEC 60601-2-40 (1988): Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-40:Particular . requirements for the safety of electromyographs and evoked response equipment
  • IEC 60601-1-2 (2001), A1 (2004): Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety Collateral Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility
  • . Guidance performance testing - Accuracy testing for the creation of a cannulation trajectory for bone screw placement that demonstrated equivalent degrees of variance and that the accelerometer-based NVM5 Guidance function and the infrared tracking from the StealthStation are equivalent in their performance (supplemented with the following published clinical literature: Accuracy of percutaneous lumbar pedicle screw placement using the oblique or "owl's-eve" view and novel guidance technology (J Neurosurg Spine. 2010), and Improving accuracy and reducing radiation exposure in minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion (J Neurosurg Spine, 2010))

Accessories to the NVM50 System also underwent the following performance testing. where applicable:

  • Impedance and continuity testing .
  • Current density testing .
  • Electrical performance and durability .
  • Fluid interference .
  • Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 .
  • Sterilization validation per ISO 11135-1 .
  • Penetration and friction testing of needle electrodes .

The results of these studies showed that the subject NVM5® System meets or exceeds the performance of the predicate device, and the device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent.

H. Conclusions

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to predicate devices, the subject NVM5® System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, and safe and effective for its intended use.
