Intended Use

The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

When used for posterior non-cervical pediativ patients, the EXPEDIUM Spine System metallic implants are indicated as an adjunct to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

The EXPEDIUM VERSE Spine System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

The EXPEDIUM VERSE Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis); tumor, pseudarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

AI/ML Overview

I apologize, but the provided text does not contain information about an AI/ML medical device, its acceptance criteria, or a study proving its performance. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a traditional medical device, specifically the EXPEDIUM® Spine System and EXPEDIUM VERSE® Spine System with ALTALYNE™ Ultra Rods.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
  2. Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set in an AI/ML study.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment in an AI/ML context.
  4. Adjudication method for an AI/ML test set.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study results for AI assistance.
  6. Standalone performance of an AI algorithm.
  7. Type of ground truth used for an AI/ML study.
  8. Sample size for a training set in an AI/ML study.
  9. How ground truth for a training set was established for an AI/ML study.

The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the spinal system to predicate devices based on mechanical testing, corrosion and wear testing, magnetic resonance testing, and biocompatibility testing. It focuses on the safety and effectiveness of the physical implants, not on any digital or AI-driven diagnostic or therapeutic aid.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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

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

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 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.
