Device Description

SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments:

The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are reusable instruments used for the preparation for and insertion of SYMPHONY OCT screws, in either open or percutaneous procedures. These instruments are designed for navigated and nonnavigated use. Navigation of these instruments is achieved using the DePuy Synthes Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS). For further details on UNAS, refer to the UNAS labeling.

Universal Navigation Adaptor Set:

The Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS) contains reusable spine surgical instruments used to aid in determining the correct location and trajectory of spinal instruments and implants. The UNAS has an interface between third-party navigation systems and the DePuy Synthes Navigation Ready Instruments. The UNAS can only be used with Brainlab and Medtronic StealthStation® navigation systems. The UNAS includes:

  • Brainlab compatible UNAS Navigation Arrays, ●
  • Brainlab compatible Navigation Ring and ●
  • Medtronic compatible Navigation Ring ST. ●

The Navigation Ring and Navigation Ring ST mates with compatible DePuy Synthes Navigation Ready Instruments. These instruments include drill guides, probe, taps and screwdrivers. Drills and trocar are indirectly navigable through the drill guide.

When the Brainlab compatible Navigation Ring is attached to the Navigation Ready Instrument, a UNAS Navigation Array can be attached and the instrument can be used only with the Brainlab Navigation System as either a manually calibrated or pre-calibrated instrument.

When the Navigation Ring ST is attached to the Navigation Ready Instrument, a Medtronic SureTrak® II Universal Tracker Fighter array (SureTrak II array) can be attached, and the instrument can be manually calibrated only with the Medtronic StealthStation navigation system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the SYMPHONY™ Navigation Ready Instruments and Universal Navigation Adaptor Set. This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. As such, it focuses on demonstrating equivalence rather than establishing new acceptance criteria and conducting a primary study to prove them.

Therefore, the document does not contain information about:

  • Acceptance Criteria in the sense of predefined performance thresholds for a novel device. Instead, it describes performance evaluations to show that the new device's performance aligns with that of predicate devices.
  • A "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of a clinical trial or a statistically powered study to demonstrate a new performance claim. The performance data presented are evaluations for substantial equivalence, not a standalone clinical validation study.
  • Effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance, as this device is a surgical instrument and navigation accessory, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for image interpretation.
  • Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance), as this is not an algorithm-based device.
  • Ground truth types (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.), as this is not a diagnostic device requiring this type of ground truth establishment.
  • Training set size and ground truth establishment for a training set, as this is not an AI/ML device.

However, it does provide information about the performance evaluations conducted to support substantial equivalence. Here's a breakdown of what is available:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

Since explicit acceptance criteria are not stated in a numerical or categorical format, and "reported device performance" refers to the results of assessments for substantial equivalence, I will list the evaluations performed and the implied objective (consistency with predicate devices).

Acceptance Criteria (Implied Objective)Reported Device Performance (Evaluations Performed)
Fulfilment of navigation systems instrument accuracy requirements (consistent with predicate)Accuracy Verification (to fulfill navigation systems instrument accuracy requirements)
Instrument Length consistent with predicate device (for SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments)Instrument Length Comparison to Predicate Device
Array Characteristics consistent with predicate device (for Universal Navigation Adaptor Set)Array Characteristics Comparison to Predicate Device
Array Recognition by Brainlab Navigation System (functional)Confirmation of Array Recognition by Brainlab Navigation System
Proper Mating of Implants/Instruments (functional)Implant/instrument mating conditions
Repeatable Navigation Connection for Pre-Calibrated Instruments (functional)Navigation Connection Repeatability for Pre-Calibrated Instruments
CAD Model Accuracy/Suitability (design verification)CAD Model Evaluation
Safe and Effective Use in Surgical Scenarios (functional)Simulated Use Evaluation

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

The document does not detail specific sample sizes or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for each of the performance evaluations. The evaluations appear to be bench testing and simulated use, not human subject studies.

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

This information is not provided. The evaluations are primarily technical assessments against design specifications and functional requirements, not expert-based ground truth establishment as would be seen in diagnostic imaging studies.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable, as no expert-based ground truth or adjudication process is mentioned for these technical performance evaluations.

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 is not an AI-powered diagnostic device.

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

Not applicable. This is a surgical instrument and navigation accessory, not an algorithm. The "Navigation Connection Repeatability for Pre-Calibrated Instruments" and "Confirmation of Array Recognition" could be considered "standalone" functional tests of the device's interaction with navigation systems, but these are not the same as algorithmic performance.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The "ground truth" for these evaluations would be the engineering specifications, design requirements, and known performance characteristics of the predicate devices and compatible navigation systems. For example:

  • Accuracy Verification: Ground truth would be the defined accuracy requirements of the compatible navigation systems.
  • Instrument Length Comparison: Ground truth would be the measurements of the predicate device's instruments.
  • Array Characteristics Comparison: Ground truth would be the established specifications of the predicate device's arrays.
  • Implant/instrument mating conditions: Ground truth would be the design specifications for proper fit and mechanical integrity.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

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

Not applicable.
