The CONCORDE LIFT Expandable Interbody Device is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, and is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine, L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The CONCORDE LIFT Expandable Interbody Device can be implanted via posterior, transforaminal or lateral approach.
DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Candidates for surgery should be skeletally mature and have had a six-month course of conservative treatment. These patients may have had primary or secondary surgery, but no previous fusion at the involved levels.
The device is not intended to be used as a stand-alone device. It must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
The CONCORDE LIFT Expandable Interbody Devices are provided gamma sterilized and are for single use only. The devices are designed for lumbar intervertebral body fusion via posterior, transforaminal or lateral approach. They are fabricated from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) as per ASTM F136. A cavity internal to each device is intended to hold autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The CONCORDE LIFT is available in both a convex configuration and a lordotic configuration.
The purpose of this submission is to add MR Conditional labeling, expanded indications and to document minor design modifications.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the CONCORDE LIFT™ Intervertebral Body Fusion Device. This type of submission to the FDA focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than proving the safety and effectiveness of a novel device through extensive clinical trials.
As such, the document does not contain the detailed information typically associated with establishing acceptance criteria and proving performance through a comprehensive study, especially for an AI/ML powered device. The "performance data" section (I) refers to various ASTM standards related to MR compatibility (magnetically induced displacement force, image artifacts, radiofrequency induced heating, magnetically induced torque) and an ANSI/AAMI standard for bacterial endotoxins. These are engineering and biocompatibility tests, not clinical performance or AI algorithm validation studies.
Therefore, I cannot provide answers to most of your specific questions as they pertain to the evaluation of an AI/ML-powered medical device through a clinical performance study. The document describes a traditional medical device submission, primarily relying on mechanical and material testing, and comparison to predicate devices, rather than an AI algorithm.
However, I can extract what is available from the document regarding the device and its assessment:
Device Name: CONCORDE LIFT™
Device Type: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device (a mechanical implant, not an AI/ML algorithm)
Regulatory Class: Class II (Product Code: MAX)
Purpose of Submission: To add MR Conditional labeling, expanded indications, and to document minor design modifications.
Here's what can be inferred or confirmed from the provided text, while acknowledging that the core request for "AI acceptance criteria and study" is not applicable to this specific document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document lists standards rather than specific quantitative acceptance criteria or reported values in a table format for each test. The implicit "acceptance criterion" for these tests is "conformance to the standard" to demonstrate safety and MR compatibility.
| Acceptance Criterion (Standard) | Reported Performance (Implied) |
|---|---|
| ASTM F2052-15 (Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force) | Device was tested in accordance with this standard. |
| ASTM F2119-07 (Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts) | Device was tested in accordance with this standard. |
| ASTM F2182-11a (Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating) | Device was tested in accordance with this standard. |
| ASTM F2213-06 (Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque) | Device was tested in accordance with this standard. |
| ANSI/AAMI ST72 (Bacterial endotoxins - Test methods, routine monitoring) | Device was tested in accordance with this standard. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
- This information is not provided in the document. The tests mentioned (ASTM standards) are typically performed on samples of the device itself, not on patient data.
- Data provenance for a physical device would refer to its manufacturing process and quality control, not clinical data provenance.
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 intervertebral fusion device, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring expert-established ground truth from images or clinical data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. No human adjudication of diagnostic or clinical performance is mentioned or relevant for this type of device submission.
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 device is not an AI/ML assistant for readers; it's a surgical implant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not Applicable for clinical ground truth. The "ground truth" for the device's physical and material properties would be established by the specifications defined in the ASTM standards (e.g., maximum allowable displacement force, temperature rise, etc.) and validated through specific laboratory testing methodologies.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set or its associated ground truth establishment.
In summary: The provided document is a 510(k) submission for a traditional implantable medical device, the CONCORDE LIFT™ Intervertebral Body Fusion Device. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described are focused on engineering and material performance (primarily MR compatibility) according to established industry standards, not on the clinical performance or validation of an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML device validation are not applicable to the content of this specific FDA submission.

§ 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.
