Intended Use

The PMT Facet Screw is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. The screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The PMT Facet Screw is indicated for bilateral facet fixation, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels, from C2 to S1. The PMT Facet Screw is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following:

  1. Pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusion
  2. Spondylolisthesis
  3. Spondylolysis
  4. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies
  5. Degeneration of the facets with instability; and
  6. Fracture
    The PMT Facet Screw is intended for conventional or tissue-sparing surgical placement.
Device Description

The PMT Facet Screw is available in fully threaded configurations with diameters of 3.5 mm, 3.75 mm and 4.0 mm and lengths of 13 mm to 25 mm (in 2 mm increments). The PMT Facet Screw is constructed of Titanium-6 Aluminum- 4 Vanadium ELI alloy (conforming to ASTM F136-13) and supplied sterile for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the PMT Facet Screw and details the performance testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not describe an AI/ML powered device, but rather a medical implant. As such, information regarding AI/ML-specific acceptance criteria, the study proving the device meets those criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable or available in this document.

However, based on the provided text, I can extract information relevant to the non-AI device's performance testing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document states: "In all instances, the PMT Facet Screw functioned as intended and met all pre-determined acceptance criteria and do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness; thus demonstrating that the PMT Screw is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device."

While specific numerical acceptance criteria for each test (e.g., minimum bending strength, torque values) are not explicitly detailed in the provided text, the successful completion of the tests against established ASTM standards and FDA guidance implicitly defines these criteria.

Test TypeStandard / GuidanceAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance

"Pyrogen and Endotoxins Testing: Questions and Answers"Met pyrogenicity requirements outlined in FDA guidance (not explicitly detailed in text).Functioned as intended, met all pre-determined acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

The document does not specify the sample sizes used for each of the mechanical performance tests (e.g., number of screws tested for bending, torsion, pull-out, or drive torque). It also does not mention data provenance as these are laboratory-based physical tests, not clinical data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the performance testing of this medical device is based on established engineering standards (ASTM) and regulatory guidance, not expert interpretation of clinical data in the traditional sense. These tests are objective measurements of physical properties.

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

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human adjudication of results, but rather objective mechanical and biological compatibility testing against predefined specifications.

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 a surgical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and therefore MRMC studies are irrelevant here.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.

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

The "ground truth" for the performance tests are the specifications and requirements defined by the referenced ASTM standards (F2193-14, F543-17) and FDA guidance documents for sterility and pyrogenicity. These are objective engineering and biological safety criteria.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. There is no training set for a non-AI mechanical device.

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

Not applicable. There is no training set for a non-AI mechanical device.

Dear Dr. Mandrusov:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
