Intended Use

Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System (Sabre, Shark, Hornet, Harpoon):

The Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1 in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion.

When used as a vertebral body replacement device, the Choice Spine Intervertebral Body Device is intended for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine, from T1 to L5, for the replacement of a collapsed or unstable vertebral body resulting from a tumor or traumatic injury. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion.

Choice Spine VEO™ Lateral Access & Interbody Fusion System:

The Choice Spine VEO™ Lateral Access & Interbody Fusion System is indicated for 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 radios. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The Choice Spine VEO™ Lateral Access & Interbody Fusion System is designed to be used with autogenous graft and supplemental spinal fixation that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

Choice Spine Interbody Fusion System:

The Choice Spine Interbody Fusion System is indicated for 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 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The Choice Spine Interbody Fusion System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

Device Description

This submission includes three lumbar implant families. The device description for each family is listed below.

Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System (Sabre, Shark, Hornet, Harpoon):

The Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System consists of interbody fusion devices (specifically, SABRE, SHARK™, HORNET™ & HARPOON™ Lumbar Spacers) comprised of polyetheretherketone (PEEK - Optima®) with tantalum markers (ASTM F2026 and ASTM F560) or Ti-6AI-4V ELI (ASTM F136). The spacers have a basic rectangular shape, a hollow center for placement of bone graft and a smooth bullet shaped anterior surface. They are available in an assortment of height, length and anteroposterior angulation combinations to accommodate many different anatomic requirements. These implants are delivered via a posterior or transforaminal approach.

Choice Spine VEO™ Lateral Access & Interbody Fusion System:

The Choice Spine VEO™ Lateral Access & Interbody Fusion System is a multicomponent system including instrumentation made of stainless steel. Aluminum. and Radel R and implants made of tantalum (ASTM F560) and PEEK Optima® (ASTM F2026) or Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). The implants are delivered via lateral approach.

Choice Spine Interbody Fusion System:

The Choice Spine Interbody Fusion System is a family of implants intended to aid in spinal fixation of the lumbar spine. This system includes implants made of Zeniva ZA-500 PEEK (ASTM F2026) with Tantalum markers (ASTM F560) or Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), which are delivered via anterior or anterolateral approach.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for several intervertebral body fusion devices. This type of document is filed with the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than to establish safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case studies for a device's performance.

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Indications for Use: What conditions the devices are intended to treat.
  • Device Description: The materials and general design of the implants.
  • Comparison to Predicate Devices: An assertion that the new devices are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices.
  • Non-Clinical Testing: A statement that "no new non-clinical testing is needed" due to the design being the same if manufactured from Titanium instead of PEEK.

In the context of a 510(k) submission for these types of devices, the "acceptance criteria" are typically related to demonstrating substantial equivalence through a comparison of technological characteristics and intended use, often supported by non-clinical performance data (e.g., mechanical testing to ASTM standards), rather than clinical performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement with AI.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document. The document specifically states: "no new non-clinical testing is needed," implying that the performance was considered sufficiently similar to the predicate devices based on design and material changes, and thus no new study specifically proving acceptance criteria for device performance was required or submitted as part of this 510(k).

§ 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.
