Intended Use

The SEA-LINK Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for temporary stabilization of the anterior cervical spine (C2-C7) during the development of cervical spinal fusion achieved through ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion) or corpectomy in patients with: • Degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies)

  • ·Trauma (including fractures)
  • •Tumors
  • ·Deformity defined as kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis
    •Pseudarthrosis
  • •Failed Previous Fusions
  • •Spondylolisthesis
  • •Spinal Stenosis
Device Description

The SEA-LINK Anterior Cervical Plate System is a single use implantable device to assist in the stabilization of the cervical spine during cervical spinal fusion. The device consists of plates and bone screws and is designed to prevent the bone screws from backing out after implantation.
The SEA-LINK Anterior Cervical Plate is designed to fit the lordosis of the cervical spine and to fit the curved medio - lateral anatomy of the spine. The SEA-LINK Anterior Cervical Plate System accommodates from single Level up to five-Level. The plate lengths range from 19mm to 114mm (end to end length) with a width and thickness of 17mm and 2.1mm respectively.
The screws offered are of self-drilling and self-tapping variations. The screws offered are variable angle and fixed angle thus providing four (4) types of screws. The screw diameters are 4mm and 4.5mm. The screw lengths range from 10mm to 20mm. A locking mechanism consisting of a cam fixed atop the plate is used to prevent screw back out.
The device is made from Medical Grade Titanium Alloy (Ti6A14V, ASTM F136).

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for the SEA-LINK Anterior Cervical Plate System. It describes a medical device, its intended use, and its equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily through mechanical testing. It does not contain information about a study involving AI or human reader performance for an imaging-based medical device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to answer your questionnaire about such a study. The provided text discusses:

  • Device Type: An implantable medical device for spine stabilization (anterior cervical plate system).
  • Assessment Method: Primarily mechanical/performance testing (static compression bending, static torsion, dynamic compression bending) per ASTM standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
  • No mention of:
    • Image analysis or AI.
    • Human readers or their performance with or without AI assistance.
    • Ground truth establishment based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the context of an imaging study.
    • Training or test sets for an AI model.

The prompt specifically asks for details related to acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets these criteria, with explicit mention of AI, human readers, and ground truth for a test set. This document does not provide any of that information.

Dear Mr. Wright:

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 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

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

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 (QS) 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.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.
