Intended Use

The InstaFill™ Graft Delivery System is intended to be used for the delivery of allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft material to an orthopedic surgical site.

Device Description

The InstaFill™ Graft Delivery System consists of a delivery device with an actuating handle, loading plunger, conical tip, and empty and pre-filled cartridges, designed to deliver graft material to an orthopedic surqical site. Cartidges are pre-filled with DBM or SIGNIFY® Gel. The delivery device and associated instruments are reusable, and the cartridges are provided sterile for single use. InstaFill™ components are manufactured from stainless steel, aluminum and PEEK, with polypropylene cartridges.

AI/ML Overview

The InstaFill™ Graft Delivery System is intended for the delivery of allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft material to an orthopedic surgical site.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study performed:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Usability testing in a cadaverAll specified acceptance criteria were met.
Axial pull-off testingAll specified acceptance criteria were met.
Axial force testingAll specified acceptance criteria were met.
Burst testingAll specified acceptance criteria were met.
Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET)Conducted on prefilled cartridges in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011. (Implied: results met the acceptance criteria as part of "All specified acceptance criteria were met.")
Biocompatibility of patient-contacting materialsDemonstrated by using materials that meet applicable standards or are used in 510(k)-cleared devices.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the specific tests (e.g., number of cadavers for usability, number of devices for axial pull-off, axial force, and burst testing).
The data provenance is not specified. However, the testing was conducted in-house by the manufacturer (Globus Medical Inc.) to confirm the device's performance.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

Not applicable. This device is a delivery system for bone graft material and the testing described is primarily mechanical and functional verification, not an AI or diagnostic device that requires expert-established ground truth on medical images or patient outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The testing described focuses on mechanical and functional performance, not diagnostic classification requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

Not applicable. This is not an AI or diagnostic device that would typically undergo an MRMC study.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on engineering specifications, material standards, and functional requirements inherent in its design and intended use. For example:

  • Usability: Successful delivery of graft material in a cadaveric setting.
  • Axial Pull-Off, Axial Force, Burst: Measurement against predefined mechanical thresholds.
  • BET: Compliance with the ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011 standard for endotoxin levels.
  • Biocompatibility: Conformance to established standards for medical device materials or prior FDA clearance of the materials.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable.

Dear Dr. Antonacci:

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

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

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 (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).
