The device is an "open architecture" design consisting of trusses mathematically designed to provide maximum support with the greatest amount of open space throughout the implant for bone growth and fusion. The implant is made from Ti6Al4V alloy.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the 4Web Spinal Implant Products, which are medical devices. It details the product, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, focusing on changes related to packaging and sterilization.

However, this document does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of AI/ML evaluation metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, or image-based performance). The "acceptance criteria" and "performance" described in this document refer to the physical and biological integrity of the manufactured device, its packaging, and its sterilization, as well as its mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Specifically, the document states:

  • Purpose: "The purpose of this submission is to gain clearance of previously cleared devices as sterile, packaged products."
  • Conclusion: "The packaging and sterilization processes have been properly validated and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness."

The performance standards listed are for:

  • Gamma sterilization per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2
  • Packaging per ISO 11607-1
  • Package integrity tests per ASTM F88-09, ASTM F1886-09 and ASTM F1929-12
  • Shipping performance per ASTM D4169-09
  • Shelf life tests per ASTM F1980-07

These are standards related to the manufacturing, packaging, and shelf-life of the physical implant, not diagnostic performance or AI model performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the format specific to AI/ML device evaluation, as it is not present in the provided text. The document is about a hardware medical device (spinal implants) and its regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence for manufacturing and processing changes (sterile packaging), not a software or AI/ML device requiring performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, or a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers.
