Intended Use

Gemmed® pedicle screw spinal system is intended for posterior, non-cervical, pedicle fixation for the following indications: severe spondylolisthesis (grade 3 or 4) of the L5-Sl vertebrae; trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fision. The device is to be used in skeletally mature patients, and for stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion with bone graft. The levels of fixation are T8 - S1.

Device Description

The spinal system consists of pedicle screws, fixed screws, bars and crosslink rod etc. It is made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), which meets ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications, which are widely used for surgical implants with well-known biocompatibility. The proposed devices are provided non-sterile. It is required to be sterilized via autoclave method to reach a SAL of 10th by the hospital prior to surgery. The recommended sterilization method was validated per ISO 17665-1 Sterilization of health care products -- Moist heat -- Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "Gemmed® pedicle screw spinal system." It is a regulatory submission to the FDA. The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical bench testing. Therefore, it does not contain the detailed information typically found in a clinical study report or a study evaluating AI device performance.

Based on the provided text, I can infer the following:

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

Acceptance Criteria (Standard)Device Performance (Test type performed)
ASTM F1717-13: Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model (All items within the standard)Static compression bending test completed
ASTM F1717-13: Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model (All items within the standard)Dynamic compression bending test completed
ASTM F1717-13: Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model (All items within the standard)Static torsion test completed
(Implied) Biocompatibility per ASTM F136Materials (Ti6Al4V ELI) meet ASTM F136 standard
(Implied) Sterilization efficacy (SAL of 10^-6)Sterilization method validated per ISO 17665-1

Note: The document states that the proposed device "meet all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device." It also says, "The test results demonstrated that proposed device complies with the following standards." However, it does not provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed numerical performance data from the conducted bench tests. It merely lists the tests performed and implies compliance with the referenced standards.

The remaining questions (2-9) are related to clinical studies and AI performance, which are not relevant to this 510(k) submission for a pedicle screw spinal system. This document describes a traditional 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence through material properties and mechanical bench testing, not a study evaluating software or AI performance with human readers, ground truth, or training/test sets as would be applicable to an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, for questions 2 through 9, the answer is: Not applicable or not provided in this document.

Dear Ms. Gong:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
