Intended Use

The Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System is intended for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion at one level from the C2-C3 disc space to the C7-T1 disc for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in skeletally mature patients who have had six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The TiGER SHARK Cervical Spacer System is to be used with supplemental fixation and with autogenous bone graft and/ or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.

Device Description

The ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System consists of intervertebral body fusion devices comprised of titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Class C). The spacers have a basic oval shape that coincides with the shape of vertebral bodies and a hollow center for placement of bone graft. They are available in an assortment of heights and in multiple angles of lordosis to accommodate different anatomic requirements. The devices are manufactured using the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) additive manufacturing method.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device cleared by the FDA, the ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System. This type of submission focuses on proving substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than extensive de novo clinical studies with acceptance criteria for AI performance. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design for AI models, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and ground truth establishment for AI performance is not applicable to this document.

The document primarily details:

  • Device Name: ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System
  • Regulation Number/Name: 21 CFR 888.3080, Intervertebral Body Fusion Device (Class II)
  • Product Code: ODP
  • Indications for Use: Anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion for degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level (C2-C3 to C7-T1), in skeletally mature patients after 6 weeks of non-operative treatment, used with supplemental fixation and autogenous/allogenic bone graft.
  • Device Description: Intervertebral body fusion devices made of titanium alloy, available in various heights and lordosis angles, manufactured using Electron Beam Melting (EBM) additive manufacturing.
  • Predicate Devices: Genesys Spine Apache Cervical Interbody Fusion System (K150812) and ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System (K183397).
  • Purpose of Submission: To gain clearance for an additional titanium implant footprint (18x15mm) and instruments.
  • Substantial Equivalence Conclusion: The device is similar to predicate devices in principle of operation, indications for use, stabilization method, anatomic location, approach, product code, classification, and biocompatibility. Minor differences (e.g., allogenic bone graft use, sterile provision) do not alter intended use or create a new worst case. Sterilization validation was performed.

To directly answer the prompt's request for acceptance criteria and study proving device meets them, based solely on the provided text, the information is not present as this is a traditional medical device clearance, not an AI/ML software clearance.

Therefore, the table and detailed points regarding AI/ML performance acceptance criteria cannot be fulfilled from this document.

Predicate Device Primary predicate: Genesys Spine Apache Cervical Interbody Fusion System (K150812) Additional Predicate: ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System (K183397) The implants proposed in this submission are similar to the predicate devices in Substantial Equivalence principle of operation, indications for use, stabilization method, anatomic location and Conclusion approach, product code and classification, and biocompatibility. The indications for use were compared; the differences include the primary predicate is cleared for use with autograft while the subject device and additional predicate are intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft. The addition of the allogenic bone graft material does not alter the device intended use. The additional footprint spacer is within the size range of the primary predicate, Genesys Spine Apache Cervical Interbody Fusion System (K150812). The larger footprint does not make a new worse case when compared to the worse case cleared in the additional predicate, ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System (K183397). The subject device and additional predicate are both provided sterile while the primary predicate is provided non-sterile. ChoiceSpine's sterilization process has been validated through gamma validation and distribution testing and the results demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met. The minimum radiation dose of 25kGy was sufficient to meet a sterilization assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 and the package system remained intact while also maintaining the hermetic barrier.
