When used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion Device:
The Virtu C cervical spine devices are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine (C2-T1). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone (allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared cervical supplemental fixation system. Patients should receive 6 weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment.
When used as a Vertebral Body Replacement Device:
The Virtu C device is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for partial or total replacement of a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to trauma/fracture or tumor to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared supplemental fixation device such as a lumbar pedicle screw system.
The Met 1 Technologies Virtu C Spinal Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is a cervical intervertebral body fusion device that is implanted into the invertebral body space to improve stability of the spine while supporting fusion. A variety of implant sizes are provided to accommodate individual patient anatomy. The implants are manufactured from VESTAKEEP® i4 R PEEK per ASTM F2026 and have tantalum markers per ASTM F560.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Virtu C Spinal Implant, a medical device for spinal fusion and vertebral body replacement. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and therefore does not contain information about a study proving device performance against acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical or image-based AI study with metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
Instead, the "performance data" referred to in this document relates to mechanical testing of the implant. The acceptance criteria are implicit in the fact that the device "demonstrated substantial equivalence" to predicate devices through these mechanical tests.
Here's an breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, acknowledging that many fields will be "Not Applicable" due to the nature of this submission:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Static axial compression performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F2077 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
| Static torsion performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F2077 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
| Static subsidence performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F2267 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
| Static expulsion performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F-04.25.02.02 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
| Dynamic axial compression performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F2077 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
| Dynamic torsion performance equivalent to predicate devices per ASTM F2077 | Demonstrated substantial equivalence (passed test) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: Not specified for the mechanical tests, but typically involves a set number of physical implant samples per test. This is not a "test set" in the context of clinical AI/imaging data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. These are mechanical laboratory tests of physical devices, not data derived from patients or real-world usage.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical testing is established by adherence to ASTM standards and engineering principles, not through expert clinical consensus.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. Mechanical test results are quantitative and objective, typically not requiring subjective adjudication.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
- MRMC Study: No, this document does not describe an MRMC study. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices or AI algorithms that assist human readers, not for purely mechanical implants.
- Effect Size of Human Reader Improvement: Not applicable.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Standalone Performance Study: No, this document does not describe a standalone performance study. This term is typically used for AI algorithms. The "performance data" here refers to the mechanical performance of the physical implant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: For the mechanical tests, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is the established performance characteristics and safety profiles of the identified predicate devices, as well as the specifications and limits defined by the relevant ASTM test standards (e.g., F2077, F2267). The device being tested must perform equivalently to these standards and predicates.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not an AI or machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth Establishment: Not applicable.
Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The study described is a series of mechanical performance tests conducted on the Virtu C Spinal Implant System. These tests are:
- Static axial compression per ASTM F2077
- Static torsion per ASTM F2077
- Static subsidence per ASTM F2267
- Static expulsion per ASTM F-04.25.02.02
- Dynamic axial compression per ASTM F2077
- Dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077
The document states that the device was tested in these modes and "demonstrated substantial equivalence" to the predicate devices. This implies that the results of these tests fell within acceptable limits defined by the ASTM standards and were comparable to the known performance of the predicate devices. The acceptance criteria are, therefore, implicitly tied to meeting the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices and adhering to the specifications of the referenced ASTM standards. No specific raw data or quantitative results from these tests are provided in this 510(k) summary, only the conclusion that substantial equivalence was demonstrated.

§ 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.
