Intended Use

The Intersomatic Cervical Device - DICOM PEEK is intended for anterior interbody spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one disc level (C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc). Cervical degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. This device is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation systems and autogenous bone graft implanted via an open, anterior approach. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with intervertebral cage.

The Intersomatic Intervertebral Space Maintenance Device - DIMEI PEEK and Intersomatic Transforaminal - TLIF PEEK is indicated for intervertebral body spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DIMEI and TLIF Spinal Implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open posterior or transforaminal approach. The DIMEI and TLIF Spinal Implant is to be used with additional supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.

Device Description

The Intersomatic Cervical Device - DICOM PEEK, Intersomatic Intervertebral Space Maintenance Device - DIMEI PEEK and Intersomatic Transforaminal - TLIF PEEK were developed as implants for the stabilization of the cervical and lumbar spinal column. The implants have ridges on both their inferior and superior surfaces to prevent migration, and graft windows which help facilitate bony integration. X-ray markers are integrated for visualization of the implants during and after surgery.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and study information for the Intersomatic Cervical Device - DICOM PEEK, Intersomatic Intervertebral Space Maintenance Device - DIMEI PEEK, and Intersomatic Transforaminal - TLIF PEEK devices.

Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary, these devices are intervertebral body fusion devices, and the submission primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing performance against specific, quantifiable acceptance criteria from a clinical study for a novel AI/software function.

Therefore, most of the requested fields related to AI/software performance, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies are not applicable to this particular device submission. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to the regulatory standards and testing required for this type of medical implant to demonstrate safety and effectiveness equivalent to existing devices.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Material Testing:
Invibio® PEEK Optima LT1Conforms to ASTM F2026
Titanium alloyConforms to ASTM F136
Non-clinical Mechanical Testing (per ASTM F2077):
Static compressionResults indicate equivalence to predicate devices.
Dynamic compressionResults indicate equivalence to predicate devices.
Static torsionResults indicate equivalence to predicate devices.
Dynamic torsionResults indicate equivalence to predicate devices.
Non-clinical Subsidence Testing (per ASTM F2267):
Subsidence performanceResults indicate equivalence to predicate devices.
Overall Substantial Equivalence:The devices are substantially equivalent to predicate devices in terms of intended use, design, materials used, mechanical safety, and performances.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. The testing described is non-clinical mechanical testing of the physical implant, not a study involving patient data or a "test set" in the context of AI/software performance.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The data comes from benchtop mechanical testing, not human subjects.

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)

  • Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for AI/software (e.g., diagnostic labels) is not relevant for this type of mechanical device testing. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by adherence to ASTM standards and engineering principles.

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

  • Not applicable. There was no clinical or expert-based adjudication in the context of this submission. The "adjudication" for mechanical testing is based on whether the device passed the specified ASTM standards.

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

  • Not applicable. No MRMC study was performed as these are physical medical implants, not AI/software for interpretation.

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

  • Not applicable. No algorithm-only performance study was conducted.

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

  • Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this submission are the established ASTM standards for mechanical testing of intervertebral body fusion devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. There was no "training set" in the context of an AI/software algorithm.

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

  • Not applicable. There was no "training set" or corresponding ground truth to establish.

Summary of the Study:

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for three intervertebral body fusion devices: Intersomatic Cervical Device - DICOM PEEK, Intersomatic Intervertebral Space Maintenance Device - DIMEI PEEK, and Intersomatic Transforaminal - TLIF PEEK.

The study relied on non-clinical mechanical testing to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to previously marketed predicate devices, as is common for Class II medical devices in the 510(k) pathway.

Specifically, the following analyses were conducted:

  • Static and dynamic compression per ASTM F2077
  • Static and dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077
  • Subsidence per ASTM F2267

The manufacturer, Osteomed Implantes, LTDA, concluded that the DICOM PEEK, DIMEI PEEK, and TLIF PEEK devices are equivalent to the predicate devices based on similarities in principles of operation, technology, materials, and indications for use, supported by the results of these non-clinical evaluations.

No clinical studies were performed. The submission explicitly states this.

Ground Truth for Non-clinical Testing: The ground truth for this type of testing is adherence to the specified ASTM international standards (ASTM F2077 for compression/torsion and ASTM F2267 for subsidence), which are recognized benchmarks for evaluating the mechanical properties of intervertebral body fusion devices. The devices are expected to meet or exceed the performance of the predicate devices under these test conditions.

§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.

(a)
Identification. An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
