AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary for the Spinery™ RF Ablation System, primarily focusing on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices and a summary of non-clinical testing performed.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be filled from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what information is not available in the provided text, and what minimal information can be inferred:

Information NOT available in the provided text:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This detailed information is typically found in specific study reports, not in a 510(k) summary. The summary only broadly states that "performance data supports the safety of the device and demonstrates that the subject device complies with the recognized standards as specified."
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: No details on sample sizes or data origin (country, retrospective/prospective) for any specific performance study are given.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as no human-expert-based ground truth is discussed for device performance.
  • Adjudication method: Not applicable.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: This device is an RF ablation system, not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study in this context is irrelevant and not mentioned.
  • If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): No specific ground truth for performance metrics is detailed. The non-clinical testing mentioned involves mechanical, electrical, EMC, sterilization, biocompatibility, pyrogen, thermocouple accuracy, impedance, usability, and software verification.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not a machine learning/AI device that requires a training set in that context.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Minimal Information that can be inferred from the provided text regarding "acceptance criteria" and "study":

The "studies" mentioned are non-clinical verification and validation tests, not a single overarching performance study with specific acceptance criteria that would fall into a simple table format. The acceptance criteria for these tests are generally compliance with recognized standards or meeting specified test requirements.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing (implies meeting "acceptance criteria" of relevant standards):

Acceptance Criteria (Implied: Compliance with Standards/Requirements)Reported Device Performance (Summary Statement)
Mechanical Integrity (after sterilization & shelf life - 1 & 5 years accelerated aging)Functional integrity of the system verified (Bone Access Kit and Spinery™ RF Needles)
Electrical Safety (IEC 60601-1: 2014, IEC 60601-2-2: 2018)Compliance with mechanical requirements of cited standards
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) (IEC 60601-1-2)Compliance with current IEC 60601-1-2 standard requirements
Sterilization and Shelf Life (SAL of 10⁻⁶, ISO 11607-1, ASTM F1980, ISO 11135:2020 for EO sterilization)Components and packaging meet SAL and sterile barrier requirements at 5-year shelf life
Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1)Verification performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1 requirements per GLP
Pyrogenicity (FDA and USP pyrogen limit specifications)Non-pyrogenic (LAL testing using Kinetic Chromogenic method)
Thermocouple Temperature Accuracy & Impedance (Specified test requirements for accurate temperature, expected impedance, intended ablation area/volume)Achieves accurate temperature measurements, expected impedance measurements, and intended area and volume of ablation
Usability RequirementsUsability requirements verified and validated
Software Verification (FDA's "Guidance for the content of premarket submissions for software contained in Medical Devices" (May-2005), Major Level of Concern)Applicable software verification completed for the Spinery RF Generator

Overall Conclusion from the text:

The "Conclusions" section in the document states: "The performance data supports the safety of the device and demonstrates that the subject device complies with the recognized standards as specified. In summary, we believe the Spinery is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to the general design approach, function, and the intended use. Differences between subject device and predicated affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness." This statement implies that all the non-clinical tests successfully met their respective acceptance criteria based on established standards and requirements.

Non-Clinical Testing Summary

Performance testing has been completed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject Spinery™ RF Ablation System to the predicate devices, as well as demonstrates the safety of the subject device and that it complies with the recognized standards as specified. The system components were subject to the following verification and validation tests, as applicable:

  • Mechanical: Mechanical testing was completed on the Spinery™ RF Ablation System after sterilization and shelf life ● testing including both 1 and 5 year accelerated aging verifying functional integrity of the system. These test included both the Bone Access Kit and the SpineryTM RF Needles.
  • Electrical: Electrical verification testing was conducted for the subject Spinery™ RF Ablation System to ensure ● compliance with mechanical requirements of IEC 60601-1: 2014, IEC 60601-2-2: 2018.
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing was completed for the applicable ● components of the subject Spinery™ RF Ablation System. The results demonstrated compliance of the subject system to current IEC 60601-1-2 standard requirements.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Spinery™ RF Ablation System by Axon Spine Medical Systems

  • Sterilization and Shelf Life: Sterilization validation and shelf life verification testing were conducted for the applicable ● components of subject Spinery™ RF Ablation System to ensure the components and packaging meet an SAL of 10° and meet the sterile barrier requirements at the proposed 5 year shelf life per ISO 11607-1 and ASTM F1980 and Ethylene Oxide sterilization requirements per ISO 11135:2020.
  • Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility verification was performed for patient-contacting components of the Spinery™ ● RF Ablation System in accordance with current ISO 10993-1 requirements per GLP.
  • Pyrogen: The Spinery™ RF Ablation Kit and Spinery Thermocouple Monitor Kit are supplied non-pyrogenic. LAL ● testing using the Kinetic Chromogenic method will be conducted on every that devices are non-pyrogenic. The devices meet current FDA and USP pyrogen limit specifications. All test requirements were met as specified by applicable standards and the test protocols.
  • Thermocouple temperature accuracy and Impedance: Verification testing demonstrated that the relevant components . of the subject Spinery™ RF Ablation system achieves accurate temperature measurements, expected impedance measurements and intended area and volume of ablation as per specified test requirements.
  • Usability: Testing was performed to verify and validate the usability requirements of the subject Spinery™ RF ● Ablation System.
  • Software: The applicable software verification was completed for the Spinery RF Generator based on a ● Major Level of Concern classification for the device.

Conclusions

The performance data supports the safety of the device and demonstrates that the subject device complies with the recognized standards as specified. In summary, we believe the Spinery is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to the general design approach, function, and the intended use. Differences between subject device and predicated affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
