Intended Use

The Mazor X is indicated for precise positioning of spinal implants during general spinal and brain surgery. It may be used in open or minimally invasive or percutaneous procedures.

Mazor X 3D imaging capabilities provide a processing and conversion of 2D fluoroscopic projections from standard C-Arms into volumetric 3D image. It is intended to be used whenever the clinician and/or patient benefits from generated 3D imaging of high contrast objects.

The Mazor X navigation tracks the position of instruments, during spinal surgery, in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of a patient.

Device Description

The Mazor X System integrates a new Navigation feature, which enables tracking compatible spine instruments. The previously cleared Mazor X System enables mechanical positioning of a tool or instrument and determining its orientation and trajectory. The new Navigation feature tracks the position of compatible surgical instruments in or on the patient anatomy during surgery and continuously updates the instrument position on the image of the patient's anatomy. The modified Mazor X System can operate with or without the Navigation feature.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the FDA's clearance of the Mazor X System (Mazor X Stealth Edition) and the supporting performance testing. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, particularly regarding a new navigation feature.

Here's an analysis of the provided text in response to your request, identifying what information is available and what is not:

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

The document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics like a clinical trial report would. Instead, it globally states that the "overall accuracy under worst-case scenario navigation tool positioning calculated the position and trajectory errors" and that the "software changes did not affect the previously cleared robotic guidance trajectory accuracy (i.e. < 1.5mm)".

However, we can infer a key performance target related to accuracy:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Robotic guidance trajectory accuracy < 1.5mm (from prior clearance)Software changes did not affect this previously cleared accuracy.
Overall navigation accuracy under worst-case scenario navigation tool positioningCalculated position and trajectory errors were, by implication, acceptable to support substantial equivalence. (Specific values are not provided.)

2. Sample sized 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: The document mentions "Cadaver validation activities (GC17021, TP-GC17021)", but the number of cadavers or specific test samples (e.g., number of anatomical targets or measurements) for the navigation accuracy testing is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: The cadaver studies likely used ex-vivo data. The country of origin for this data is not specified. It's implied to be a pre-clinical, prospective evaluation based on the nature of the testing.

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)

This information is not provided. The document details engineering and software validation tests rather than clinical evaluations involving human expert readers for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not provided. The performance testing described is technical validation of system accuracy, not a study requiring adjudication of human reader interpretations.

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

There is no indication that an MRMC study was performed or that the device (Mazor X Stealth Edition) involves "AI assistance" in the sense of an algorithm interpreting images for human readers. The device is described as a robotic guidance and navigation system.

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

The primary performance test described is "navigation accuracy testing," which evaluates the system's ability to accurately track instruments and guide trajectories. This is essentially a "standalone" or "device-only" performance assessment in a controlled (cadaver) environment, measuring the inherent accuracy of the system. The "robotic guidance trajectory accuracy (i.e. < 1.5mm)" is a key standalone accuracy parameter.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the navigation accuracy testing, the ground truth would likely be established through precise metrological methods (e.g., coordinate measuring systems, high-resolution imaging with known fiducial markers) that can independently verify the true position and trajectory, against which the device's measurements are compared. The document mentions "Overall accuracy under worst-case scenario navigation tool positioning calculated the position and trajectory errors," implying a quantitative comparison to a known true value, but the specific method of establishing this precise ground truth is not detailed. It is not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the clinical sense.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not describe a training set in the context of a machine learning model, as the device is a robotic guidance system, not an AI diagnostic algorithm. Therefore, this information is not applicable/provided.

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

As there's no mention of a traditional machine learning training set, this information is not applicable/provided.

5. Device Description

The Mazor X System integrates a new Navigation feature, which enables tracking compatible spine instruments. The previously cleared Mazor X System enables mechanical positioning of a tool or instrument and determining its orientation and trajectory. The new Navigation feature tracks the position of compatible surgical instruments in or on the patient anatomy during surgery and continuously updates the instrument position on the image of the patient's anatomy. The modified Mazor X System can operate with or without the Navigation feature.

Indications for Use 6.

The Mazor X is indicated for precise positioning of surgical instruments or spinal implants during general spinal and brain surgery. It may be used in either open or minimally invasive or percutaneous procedures.

Mazor X 3D imaging capabilities provide a processing and conversion of 2D fluoroscopic projections from standard C-Arms into volumetric 3D image. It is intended to be used whenever the clinician and/or patient benefits from generated 3D imaging of high contrast objects.

The Mazor X navigation tracks the position of instruments, during spinal surgery, in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of a patient.

7. Performance Standards

There are no performance standards under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, for the Mazor X.

Performance Testing 8.

The following performance tests were conducted on the modified Mazor X System with the Navigation feature.

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

  • Mazor X System Accuracy Workflow Validation Test (VV-07444)
    The key performance testing to validate the modified Mazor X System navigation feature consisted of navigation accuracy testing. The navigation accuracy validation included testing the overall navigation accuracy under worst-case scenario navigation tool positioning. The overall accuracy under worst-case scenario navigation tool positioning calculated the position and trajectory errors.

Minor modifications were made to the released Mazor X System and accessories and therefore, the following validation tests were conducted:

  • Mazor X System Surgical System Test (MCP0721-01)
  • · Mazor X System Surgical Arm Test (MCP0695-01)
  • · Mazor X System Accuracy (CT-Fluro, Scan & Plan) Tests) (CT-Fluro -MCP0881-01 & Scan & Plan - MCP0882-01)
  • · Mazor X System Accessories Tests Summary (MCP0885-01)
  • · Cadaver validation activities (GC17021, TP-GC17021)

The tests performed to validate the modifications to the previously cleared Mazor X System included testing the modified Surgical System and the modified Surgical Arm. The modified Mazor X System was also tested to ensure that the software changes did not affect the previously cleared robotic guidance trajectory accuracy (i.e.. < 1.5mm), in the CT-Fluro and Scan & Plan workflows, following the software modifications. Testing was also performed for the new and modified Mazor X System accessories.

The Mazor X System software with the navigation feature was underwent software validation according to FDA Guidelines for Software Validation and the following standard:

  • IEC 62304 Medical Device Software: Software Life Cycle Processes (2015) .
    The modified Mazor X System underwent the following testing according to international and FDA recognized standards:

  • . AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1:2005/(R):2012 and A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012 (Consolidated Text) Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1:

{6}------------------------------------------------

General Requirements for Basix Safety and Essential Performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, Mod) 2012

  • . IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility

9. Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device

The intended use and technological characteristics of the modified Mazor X System are substantially equivalent to the intended use and technological characteristics of the previously cleared Mazor X System (K180307) and the FDA cleared, predicate StealthStation Surgical System with S8 Spine Software (K170011 & K162309). The performance of the modified Mazor X System is substantially equivalent to the performance of the FDA cleared, Mazor X System, as demonstrated by the software validation and functional performance testing. The functional performance testing also demonstrated that the navigation capabilities of the Mazor X System are substantially equivalent to the navigation capabilities of the predicate StealthStation Surgical System with S8 Spine Software (K170011 & K162309).

10. Conclusion

The performance testing and comparison to the predicate devices demonstrate that the Mazor X system is as safe, as effective and performs as well as the legally marketed Mazor X System (K180307) and the StealthStation Surgical System (K170011 & K162309) predicate devices. Therefore, the Mazor X system is substantially equivalent to the Mazor X System and the StealthStation Surgical System with S8 Spine Software.
