When used without cement, the CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws (with or without SEXTANT™ or LONGITUDE™ instrumentation) are intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, tumor and/or trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis), pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion.
When used in conjunction with Medtronic HV-R™ Fenestrated Screw Bone Cement or Kyphon™ XPEDE™ Bone Cement, the CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws are intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws augmented with either Medtronic HV-R™ Fenestrated Screw Bone Cement or Kyphon™ XPEDE™ Bone Cement are for use at spinal levels where the structural integrity of the spine is not severely compromised.
KYPHON™ Xpede™ Bone Cement is indicated for the treatment of pathological fractures of the vertebral body due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions a cementoplasty (i.e. kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty) procedure. It is also indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures of the sacral vertebral body or ala using sacral vertebroplasty or sacroplasty. Cancer includes multiple myeloma and metastatic lesions, including those arising from breast or lung cancer, or lymphoma. Benign lesions include hemangioma and giant cell tumor. Pathological fracture may include a symptomatic microfracture (as documented by appropriate imaging and/or presence of a lytic lesion) without obvious loss of vertebral body height.

CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws augmented with KYPHON™ Xpede™ Bone Cement are for use at spinal levels where the structural integrity of the spine is not severely compromised.
Kyphon Xpede™ Bone Cement is self-curing PMMA based (high viscosity, radiopaque) bone cement. Kyphon Xpede™ Bone Cement is provided sterile in two components: 20 grams of powder and nine grams of liquid. The powder contains methylmethacrylate-styrene co-polymer, barium sulfate as a radiopacifier, and di-benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. This liquid contains methylmethacrylate monomer, N, N dimethyl-p-toluidine as a promoter and hydroquinone as a stabilizer. The powder and liquid components are mixed, in the provided liquid-to-powder proportions, into a homogenous paste, to initiate the polymerization reaction of monomer into polymer.

The CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screw Set consists of a variety of cannulated multi-axial screws (MAS) with fenestrations offered in diameters ranging from 4.5mm to 10.5mm, with lengths ranging from 30-100mm based on CD HORIZON™ LEGACY™ and CD HORIZON™ SOLERA™ implants contained in the CD HORIZON™ Spinal System. The CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws are specifically designed to connect to 4.75mm, 5.5mm, and 6.0mm diameter rods and associated connecting components contained within the CD HORIZON™ Spinal System. The screws contain six fenestrations near the distal tip of the screw which provides a controlled means to deliver a small amount of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement into a targeted vertebral body. These implants may also serve as traditional pedicle screws when used without bone cement. These screws are provided non-sterile.
The provided text describes specific medical devices (KYPHON™ Xpede™ Bone Cement, CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screw Set) and their regulatory clearance (K171938). The document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than describing a study with acceptance criteria to prove device performance in a clinical setting in the way an AI/ML device would be evaluated for diagnostic accuracy.
Therefore, the requested information (acceptance criteria, study details for proving device meets criteria, sample sizes, expert involvement, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth types and establishment methods) is not applicable to this document.
This document refers to biocompatibility and mechanical testing for physical devices (bone cement and screws), which are evaluated against industry standards and by comparison to predicate devices, not through performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC as one would expect for an AI/ML device.
Here's how the requested points relate to the provided text:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document doesn't present acceptance criteria and device performance in the context of diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes for an AI/ML device. Instead, it describes:
- Biocompatibility: The materials of the CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws (titanium alloy, titanium, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy) have a long clinical history of safe and effective use, so no additional biocompatibility testing was required. The Xpede™ Bone Cement is identical to the predicate and uses equivalent implant materials, sterilization methods, and bacterial endotoxin testing (20 EU/ml pyrogen limit).
- Mechanical Testing:
- Axial Pull Out Testing (ASTM F543-07): CD HORIZON™ Fenestrated Screws augmented with the subject Kyphon Xepede™ Bone Cement were compared to those augmented with Medtronic HV-R™ Fenestrated Screw Cement. Result: Pull-out strength of the screws was equivalent.
- Flow Rate Analysis: Compared Kyphon Xpede™ Bone Cement to Medtronic HV-R™ Fenestrated Screw Cement regarding injection and flow characteristics using fluoroscopic imaging. Result: Flow rates of the subject and predicate cements were substantially equivalent.
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The testing described (biocompatibility, mechanical testing) refers to material and mechanical properties, not a clinical "test set" for diagnostic performance.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as no diagnostic accuracy study requiring expert adjudication is described.
-
Adjudication method: Not applicable.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used: Not applicable. The "ground truth" here relates to established material properties and mechanical performance standards, not clinical diagnoses.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

| Comparison ofTechnologicalCharacteristicswiththePredicate Devices | 1) The Kyphon Xpede™ Bone Cement is identical in composition, method ofmanufacture and sterilization to the primary predicate Kyphon Xpede™Bone Cement cleared by the FDA in K102397 (SE 02/28/11). Thepredicate cement is intended to be used in patients diagnosed withpathological fractures in the vertebral body caused by conditions such asosteoporosis and cancer. The subject cement is also intended to be used inpatients with metastatic cancer. Pathological fractures reflect one means in |
| which spinal instability occurs and therefore in both instances the | |
| predicate and subject cement are intended to treat spinal instability. Theonly differences between the subject and predicate cement are the methodin which the cement is delivered and that the subject cement is limited topatients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic and lumbarspine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permitachievement of fusion.2) No changes or additions have been made to the fenestrated screws whichcomprise the CD HORIZONTM Fenestrated Screw Set cleared previouslyin K152604 for the same indications when used in conjunction withcement augmentation. They are identical in all aspects with respect toindications, design, size, intended use, cannulation, fundamental scientifictechnology, and materials. | |
| Performance Data | Biocompatibility |
| Identical to the primary predicate screws, the CD HORIZONTM FenestratedScrews are provided non-sterile form. They are manufactured from medical gradetitanium alloy (in accordance with ASTM F136), medical grade titanium (inaccordance with ASTM F67) and medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenumalloy (in accordance with ASTM F1537). | |
| The subject XpedeTM Bone Cement is identical to the predicate XpedeTM BoneCement. The subject cement utilizes equivalent implant materials, sterilizationmethods and bacterial endotoxin testing applying the same 20 EU/ml pyrogenlimit specifications utilizing the gel clot test method as the predicate KyphonXpedeTM Bone Cement (K102397). | |
| The materials used in the implants and instruments have a long clinical history ofsafe and effective use in similar commercially available medical devices.Therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing is required. | |
| Mechanical Testing | |
| In accordance with, Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Spinal System510(k)'s", Medtronic has evaluated the subject devices to demonstrate substantialequivalence to the predicate devices. Axial Pull Out Testing in accordance withASTM F543-07 was performed and compared CD HORIZONTM FenestratedScrews augmented with the subject Kyphon XepedeTM Bone Cement and theMedtronic HV-RTM Fenestrated Screw Cement. Test results demonstrated the pull-out strength of the screws were equivalent when using Kyphon XpedeTM BoneCement or Medtronic HV-RTM Fenestrated Screw Cement.Additionally, a flow rate analysis was performed to compare Kyphon XpedeTMBone Cement to the Medtronic HV-RTM Fenestrated Screw Cement with respect toinjection and flow characteristics of the two cements. The cements were evaluatedusing fluoroscopic imaging. Testing found the flow rates of the subject andpredicate cements to be substantially equivalent. | |
| Conclusion | Based upon the test results and additional supporting documentation provided inthe pre-market notification, the subject Kyphon XpedeTM Bone Cement is |
| substantially equivalent to the Kyphon® Xpede Bone Cement (K102397, SE02/28/11) and to the Medtronic HV-RTM Fenestrated Screw Cement (K152604, SE01/06/16). |
