Device Description

Spineology Navigation Instruments are non-sterile, reusable surgical instruments that are manufactured from stainless steel and operated manually.

Spineology Navigation Instruments for Pedicular Fixation include Awls, Bone Taps, Drills, and Screwdrivers. The navigable instruments are equipped with a dimensional feature that allows connection to Medtronic's NavLock Trackers. A Navigation Adapter is also available with dimensional features that allows the same instruments to Medtronic's SureTrak" II Universal Trackers. These instruments are compatible with Spineology's Fortress", Threshold" Threshold™ V2, and Palisade™ Pedicular Fixation Systems and Medtronic's StealthStation® S7 (v2.1.0) and S8 (v1.0.0) Spine System.

Spineology Navigation Instruments for Portal Placement include a Dilator, Portal, Tightener, Wrench, and a Portal Surrogate. The navigable instruments are equipped with dimensional features that allow connection to Medtronic's SureTrak II Universal Trackers. These instruments are compatible with Spineology's OptiMesh Expandable Interbody Fusion System for Access Portal Placement and Medtronic's StealthStation® S8 (v1.2.0) Spine System.

Spineology Navigation Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of spinal implants in optically navigated procedures.

AI/ML Overview

This document (K213876) is a 510(k) premarket notification for Spineology Navigation Instruments. While it describes non-clinical testing performed to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device, it does not detail a clinical study with an AI component or the specific acceptance criteria and performance data for an AI-powered device.

The document discusses "Spineology Navigation Instruments" which are physical surgical tools used for navigation during spinal surgery. The testing described (mating, registration, accuracy) relates to the mechanical and optical tracking performance of these instruments when used with Medtronic's StealthStation system, not the performance of an AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to answer your prompt because the provided input does not describe an AI/ML-based medical device.

**To answer your prompt, I would need a document describing the clearance/approval of an AI/ML device, ideally one that includes: **

  • Specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) for the AI model.
  • Details about the datasets used (training and test sets, including provenance and size).
  • Information on ground truth establishment (expert review, pathology, etc.).
  • If applicable, details of MRMC studies or human-in-the-loop performance.

Without such information, any attempt to answer would be speculative and not based on the provided document.

Dear Andrew Adams:

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).
