Device Description

The Erisma® LP instrumentation is designed for the surgical treatment of spinal pathologies. The treatment consists in the fusion of two or several vertebrae in order to restore spinal stability, with or without any other endocanalar concomitant surgical procedure.

The Erisma® LP spinal system is composed of rods (straight or pre-bent) fixed on the spine with pedicle screws. The Erisma® LP includes monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws (cannulated or not), monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws with breaking tabs, as well as transverse link which connects two rods altogether.

The implants used in the Erisma® LP system are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy and are made of medical grade titanium alloy per ASTM F136 or cobalt-chromium allov per ASTM F1537.

The Erisma® LP procedures are performed using a set of surgical instruments common for posterior spinal fixation approach. Most of the instruments provided are common surgical tools used in these types of posterior fixation of the spine.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Clariance SAS Erisma® LP Spinal Fixation System, a medical device for spinal surgery. The information provided is from an FDA 510(k) summary. I will extract the requested information based on the provided text.

Based on the provided text, the Erisma® LP Spinal Fixation System is a mechanical device (spinal fixation system), not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or assistive device. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study characteristics for AI/ML devices (like human reader performance, ground truth establishment, training sets, etc.) are not applicable to this submission.

The acceptance criteria and study described here relate to the mechanical performance and material characteristics of the spinal fixation system.


Here's the breakdown of the requested information, adapted for a mechanical device:

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

    Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
    Dynamic Axial Compression per ASTM F1717Performed and characterized the modification. The submission indicates the performance demonstrates the modified device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Specific numerical results are not provided in this summary.
    Substantial Equivalence to predicate devices (K153326 and K130877)Achieved. The modified device has the same intended use, similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics. Performance data supports that it is as safe and effective.
    Material CompositionCobalt-chromium alloy per ASTM F1537 (for new rods); medical grade titanium alloy per ASTM F136 (for other components).
    Dimensions and DesignRods have similar dimensions and design as those already cleared under K153326 for the Erisma® LP predicate device.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Specific numbers are not provided in this summary. Mechanical testing typically involves a set number of samples required by the standard (ASTM F1717).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but mechanical testing is typically performed in a laboratory setting. There is no indication of country of origin for the test data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as these terms are usually applied to clinical studies.
  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. For mechanical testing of a spinal fixation system, "ground truth" is established by the test standard (e.g., ASTM F1717) and the physical properties of the materials and design, not by expert consensus in the typical sense of clinical image review. The acceptance is based on meeting the performance requirements defined by the standard.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for reconciling discordant expert opinions in clinical studies (e.g., image interpretation). This is a mechanical device performance study, where acceptance is based on objective measurements against a standard.
  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 mechanical device, not an AI/ML device, so MRMC studies involving human readers are not relevant.
  6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Not Applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    • Mechanical Standard Compliance/Predicate Equivalence: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its compliance with recognized mechanical testing standards (e.g., ASTM F1717) and demonstrating substantial equivalence in performance and characteristics to legally marketed predicate devices.
  8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    • Not Applicable. As there is no training set for a mechanical device, this question is not relevant.

Device Description

The Erisma® LP instrumentation is designed for the surgical treatment of spinal pathologies. The treatment consists in the fusion of two or several vertebrae in order to restore spinal stability, with or without any other endocanalar concomitant surgical procedure.

The Erisma® LP spinal system is composed of rods (straight or pre-bent) fixed on the spine with pedicle screws. The Erisma® LP includes monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws (cannulated or not), monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws with breaking tabs, as well as transverse link which connects two rods altogether.

The implants used in the Erisma® LP system are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy and are made of medical grade titanium alloy per ASTM F136 or cobalt-chromium allov per ASTM F1537.

The Erisma® LP procedures are performed using a set of surgical instruments common for posterior spinal fixation approach. Most of the instruments provided are common surgical tools used in these types of posterior fixation of the spine.

Technological Characteristics

The proposed modification to the 510(k) cleared Erisma® LP device (K153326) consist in the addition of rods (straight and pre-bent) made of medical grade cobalt-chromium allov per ASTM F1537. The proposed rods are made from the same material as the additional predicate device. These rods vary in size and geometries and are equivalent to those cleared for the company's Erisma® LP predicate device (K153326). The proposed modification is present in the reference device and does not raise different types of safety or effectiveness questions.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Performance Data

Dynamic Axial Compression testing per ASTM F1717 was performed to characterize the subject modification addressed in this notification.

Substantial Equivalence

The modified Erisma® LP has the same intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as 510(k) approved Erisma® LP (K153326). The minor difference in the technological characteristics of the modified Erisma® LP does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the modified Erisma® LP is as safe and effective as company's Erisma® LP predicate device (K153326). Thus, the modified Erisma® LP is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

Conclusions

The Erisma® LP Spinal Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
