The Spine Wave® Navigated Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Spine Wave screws (Sniper® Spine System, CapSure® Spine System, Proficient® Posterior Cervical Spine System, or the Salvo™ Spine System) during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous procedures. The Spine Wave® Navigated Instruments are designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® System.
The Spine Wave® Navigated Instruments are reusable, manual, surgical instruments made from stainless steel. These instruments are to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation® System via the Medtronic NavLock™ Tracker to facilitate screw placement during cervicothoracic and thoracolumbosacral surgeries. New instruments are being added to allow use with Salvo™ Spine System screws.
The provided text from the 510(k) submission (K192526) for the Spine Wave® Navigated Instruments focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on shared technological characteristics, intended use, and materials. Crucially, this submission does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning algorithm, human readers, or a test set with ground truth established by experts.
The "Performance Data" section (Section 8) explicitly states: "A dimensional analysis and characterization was performed for the new components to demonstrate substantial equivalence." This indicates that the performance verification was based on engineering measurements (e.g., dimensions, material properties), not on a clinical or algorithmic performance study with acceptance criteria related to accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training data for an AI/ML device, as this specific document does not describe such a study.
The device described is a set of physical surgical instruments intended for use with a navigation system, not a software algorithm that processes images or clinical data to provide insights or diagnoses.
If you have a document describing an AI/ML device, please provide that, and I would be happy to analyze it against your criteria.
