Intended Use

Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments are intended to be used in the preparation and placement of K2M pedicle screws (DENALI, MESA, EVEREST, YUKON) during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. These instruments are designed for use with the Brainlab Navigation system, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. The Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments are not intended for navigation of occipital screws.

Device Description

Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments are manual surgical instruments intended be used when implanting previously cleared components of MESA, DENALI, EVEREST and YUKON Spinal Systems. These instruments are designed to interface with the Brainlab Navigation system when used for navigation during spinal surgery. The subject instruments feature a modification of the connection mechanism geometry and material to enhance user experience.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the "Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments" does not contain information typically found in a study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria for performance, especially not in the context of an AI/algorithm-based medical device.

This document describes a conventional surgical instrument that interfaces with an existing navigation system. The "Non-clinical Performance Evaluation" section mentions a risk assessment and rotational testing, which are standard for mechanical devices. It does not refer to any clinical studies, AI performance metrics, or ground truth establishment as would be required for an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC), sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, or details about MRMC studies. This is because the device in question is a surgical instrument and not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or treatment planning system that would necessitate such detailed performance evaluation against ground truth.

The relevant sections state:

  • Non-clinical Performance Evaluation: "A risk assessment including sterilization, biocompatibility, and additional rotational testing was conducted to confirm that the subject Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments do not introduce new issues of safety or effectiveness."
  • Conclusion: "There are no significant differences between the Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments and other legally marketed systems. It is substantially equivalent to these other devices in design, function, material and intended use."

These statements indicate that the submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through engineering and safety testing, rather than an AI performance study.

Dear Megan Callanan:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
