The Sterispine™ PS system is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct of fusion.
Sterispine™ PS system is intended for posterior, non-cervical pedicle and non-pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; tumor; pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusion.
The cleared range of Sterispine™ Ps system include multiaxial screws and cannulated multiaxial screws with or without extended head (Ø5.5, 6.5 and 7.5mm, lengths from 25 to 60mm) and straight and prebent rods (Ø5.5, 6.5 and 7.5mm, lengths from 30 to 380mm). Components of Sterispine™ PS range of products is supplied sterile with a sterile single-use set of surgical instruments.
This looks like a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Sterispine™ PS", which is a thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system. From the information provided, it's clear that this is not a software device or an AI/ML powered device, and therefore does not have acceptance criteria or a study related to software performance.
The document describes premarket notification for a traditional medical device (implants for spinal fusion) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The "Discussion of testing" section refers to mechanical and biocompatibility testing for the physical device components, not software performance.
Here's why the requested information about acceptance criteria and studies for device performance (in the context of AI/ML) cannot be found in this document:
- Device Type: This is a physical implant (pedicle screw system), not a diagnostic algorithm, image analysis tool, or any other type of software that would typically have performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
- Regulatory Pathway: A 510(k) for a physical medical device like this often relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices through material comparisons, mechanical testing, and functional similarities, rather than clinical performance studies of a software output.
- "Device Performance" Context: When the document refers to "testing," it's discussing the physical properties of the implant (e.g., static compression, torsion, bacterial endotoxin) to ensure it's safe and performs as intended mechanically, not the accuracy of an algorithm.
Therefore, since the request is based on the assumption of an AI/ML driven device, which this is not, I cannot extract the requested information.

Testingaccording to ASTM F1717 includes static compression, static torsionand dynamic compression. Testing according to ASTM F1798includes Static slipping, static bending and static rotation. Bacterialendotoxin testing as specified in USP standard is used forpyrogenicity testing to achieve the Endotoxin limit of 20 EU /device. These tests result have demonstrated comparablemechanical properties to predicates devices.It has been demonstrated that the added sizes of screws are notworst cases. So, the worst case screw that has been previouslyidentified and tested (K112453, K151921). No additional risks havebeen identified when compared with Sterispine™ PS screwspreviously cleared. Consequently, no new additional testing wasneeded for the added sizes. |

§ 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.
