Device Description

The Medtronic Anterior Cervical Plate Systems consist of a variety of shapes and sizes of bone plates (set screws and washers are pre-assembled to the plates) and screws. The Medtronic Anterior Cervical Fusion System consist of variety of shapes and sizes of bone plates (set screws and washers are pre-assembled to the plates), interbody cages, and screws. Fixation is provided by bone screws and/or interbody cages inserted into the vertebral body of the cervical spine using an anterior approach. The Medtronic Anterior Cervical Plate and Fusion Systems implant components are made from titanium alloy, with certain plates having subcomponents manufactured from shape memory alloys (Nitinol-NiTi). The sole purpose for this submission is to update the labeling for the Medtronic Anterior Cervical Plate and Fusion Systems to include MRI safety information while also providing MRI technologists with a method of concluding whether a MRI scan can be performed and specific instructions on how to perform the scan.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for Medtronic Anterior Cervical Plate Systems, and it details the premarket notification to the FDA for updates to the labeling of these devices to include MRI safety information.

This document describes a medical device submission for a spinal implant, NOT an AI/Machine Learning-based diagnostic device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details for AI performance (like sample size, number of experts, ground truth, MRMC studies, training set details), is not applicable to this document.

The "Performance Data" section specifically states:
"The following performance data were provided in support of substantial equivalence.
MR Safety Testing
In accordance with the FDA Guidance 'Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment' the subject Medtronic Anterior Cervical Plate Systems were evaluated for MR-safety in accordance with the following standards:

  • ASTM F2052– “Standard test method for measurement of magnetically induced displacement force on passive implants in the magnetic resonance environment”
  • ASTM F2213– “Standard test method for measurement of magnetically induced torque on medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment”
  • ASTM F2119– “Standard test method for evaluation of MR image artifacts from passive implants”
  • ASTM F2182– “Standard test method for measurement of radio frequency induced heating on or near passive implant during magnetic resonance imaging”"

This clearly indicates a focus on physical and electromagnetic compatibility testing for a medical implant, not on the performance of a software or AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information you requested about acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/machine learning device from this document. The document concerns the physical performance and safety of a spinal implant in an MRI environment.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.
