Intended Use

MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage system is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one-disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage system is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage system is to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.

The MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage system is intended for use as an interbody fusion cage device to maintain cervical intervertebral spacing and must be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine.

Device Description

The MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage system is intended for use as an interbody fusion cage device to maintain cervical intervertebral spacing and must be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The devices are available in a variety of different sizes and configurations to accommodate anatomical variation in different vertebral levels and/or patient anatomy. The devices are made of either PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 or Evonik VESTAKEEP i4R, with Tantalum marker pins, or titanium alloy.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System, and its clearance under a 510(k) premarket notification. This type of clearance focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving de novo safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with specific acceptance criteria related to typical AI/software performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy).

Therefore, many of the requested details, such as "effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance," "standalone performance," "number of experts used to establish ground truth," and "ground truth for training set," are not applicable to this document. This document describes a physical medical implant, not an AI or software-based diagnostic or assistive device.

However, I can extract information related to the performance data presented within the context of a physical device's mechanical and functional equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on the provided text:

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

The document does not provide a table with specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum load bearing, maximum displacement) nor the explicit numerical results for the device's performance against those criteria. Instead, it makes a general statement:

Test TypeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)Not explicitly stated (implied to ensure structural integrity and functional performance)Implied to meet criteria
Static and Dynamic Axial Compression Testing (according to ASTM F2077)Not explicitly stated (implied to meet relevant ASTM standards for spinal implants)"The results met all acceptance criteria"
Expulsion TestingNot explicitly stated (implied to ensure the cage remains in place)"The results met all acceptance criteria"
Subsidence Testing (according to ASTM F2267)Not explicitly stated (implied to meet relevant ASTM standards to prevent sinking)"The results met all acceptance criteria"

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the number of devices or iterations used for each test (e.g., how many cages were tested for axial compression). It refers to "the MATISSE Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System device" undergoing tests, implying multiple units would have been used for mechanical testing, but no specific number is given.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. These are lab-based physical performance tests of a device, not data collected from patients.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device. "Ground truth" in the context of AI/software for diagnostic purposes is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the established engineering standards (ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267) and the physical measurements themselves.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not Applicable. As these are physical performance tests against engineering standards, an adjudication method for human interpretation of data is not relevant. The results are quantitative measurements against predefined engineering 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. This is a physical medical device (interbody fusion cage), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No human reader study was performed or required.

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

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • The "ground truth" here refers to established engineering standards (ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267) and the physical properties and performance requirements for similar medical devices. The comparison is made against the predicate device's established safety and effectiveness.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. This document describes a physical medical device, not an AI model. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context.

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

  • Not Applicable. As per point 8, there is no training set for this device.

§ 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.
