When used with the integrated fixation and as a stand-alone system:
The Genesys Spine 3D Printed AIS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with accompanying radicular symptoms at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Genesys Spine 3D Printed AIS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an anterior approach.
When used without the integrated fixation:
The Genesys Spine 3D Printed AIS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenc pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation (i.e., cleared cervical plating system) and with autograft to facilitate fusion. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
The Genesys Spine 3DP Als-C II Cervical Interbody System includes 3D-Printed (3DP) titanium interbody System offers a stand-alone version as well as a traditional (Regular) interbody that requires supplemental fixation.
The interbody that utilizes supplemental fixation may be used as a stand-alone that is implanted with two (2) titanium alloy anchors. This version includes an integrated cam lock mechanism and various The cam lock mechanism may be used as a secondary aid in keeping the anchors from backing out of the interbody and vertebral bodies after anchor deployment. After anchor deployment, in order to engage the cam lock key instrument is used to turn the lock (counterclockwise direction) from an open to closed position. When closed, the wings of the cam lock slide over the anchor channels and provide a backing cover for the anchor and anchor channels.
Al interbodies and anchors are made from Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy. The cam lock is made out Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy with a PEEK washer.
The integrated fixation anchors may not provide adequate stability for all situations. The Surgeon should consider the appropriate fixation required for each patient and determine if additional supplemental fixation (e.g., anterior cervical screws) may be needed.
This FDA 510(k) summary for the Genesys Spine 3DP AIS-C II Cervical Interbody System does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. My analysis of the provided text is as follows:
The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter and summary for a medical device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (K191489, Genesys Spine 3DP Cervical Interbody System), rather than detailing specific acceptance criteria and a study to prove meeting them.
The sections that might typically contain such information (Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions) are explicitly marked as "N/A" or describe comparative testing against the predicate (e.g., "results proved superior to predicates"). This indicates that the regulatory pathway for this device did not require a standalone study to establish de novo performance against specified acceptance criteria. Instead, it leveraged the established safety and effectiveness of a predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided text.
Here's why each point cannot be addressed:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This information is not present. The document focuses on comparing the new device to a predicate, not on defining and meeting specific performance acceptance criteria for a novel device.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable as a standalone performance study against acceptance criteria is not described. The document mentions "Anchor Push-Out testing," "Biocompatibility analysis," "Sterilization/Cleaning analysis," "Design Validation testing," "mechanical performance... in accordance with ASTM F2077," and "Finite Element Analysis (FEA)." However, these are presented as comparative tests to the predicate or as engineering analyses, not as a study against a specific set of acceptance criteria with defined sample sizes for that purpose. No data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is stated for these tests beyond their comparative nature.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. The document refers to "user feedback" for design validation but does not detail a process for establishing ground truth by experts in the context of a clinical performance study.
- Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication is described.
- 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 device is an interbody fusion system, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable given the nature of the device and the lack of a clinical performance study described. The document discusses mechanical testing and design validation.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. The device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Technological Comparison
The primary predicate device for this 510(k) is the Genesys Spine 3DP AIS-C Cervical Standalone Interbody Fusion System (K191489). Both systems offer cervical anchored interbody systems with an OVE product classification. A locking mechanism to secure the integrated fixation anchors are used in both systems. The identical to the predicate. The principles of operation are the same. The anchoring technology is identical and testing shows that the subject interbody device is as effective as the primary predicate device. The footprints, sizes, and overall geometry are the same. In addition, non-clinical performance (bench) testing shows the 3DP AlS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System has the equivalent or better capabilities compared to the primary predicate system or market competitors.
The subject devices differ from the primary predicate Genesys Spine Interbody System in the
following characteristics:
-
Locking Mechanism titanium alloy cam lock with PEEK washer
• Interbody Lock Recess Geometry -
· Addition of a 10 degree lordosis angle for the Lordotic Interbody
• Anchor Geometry
In order to clarify the details behind this analysis each of the differences from the primary predicate was evaluated in the following manner:
- Locking Mechanism: The locking mechanism used on the 3DP AlS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System was modified from a titanium alloy flange lock (predicate) to a titanium alloy with PEEK washer to previous locks used on predicate interbodies the cam lock provides greater Anchor push-out strength and a more intuitive user interface.
o Anchor Push-Out testing was conducted, and the results proved superior to predicates.
o Biocompatibility analysis was performed for both PEEK and titanium alloy along with the mating feature of the cam lock does not introduce any new worst-case in any criteria and is safe and effective.
o Sterilization/Cleaning analysis was performed on the titanium cam lock and PEEK washer. The cam lock does not introduce any new worst-case in any criteria and is deemed safe and effective.
o Design Validation testing was performed, and user feedback confirmed superior usability to predicates.
- Interbody Lock Recess Geometry: The recess geometry for mating the interbody was modified to allow assembly of the new locking mechanism.

o The mechanical performance of the system was evaluated in static torsion, static compression shear, dynamic compression, dynamic torsion, and dynamic compression shear in accordance with ASTM F2077. Test results indicated the revised interbody did not pose additional risks to safety and effectiveness of the devices.
· Addition of 10 Degree Lordotic Interbody: In order range of the population and user demographic an explicit 10 degree lordotic interbody was created.
o Finite Element Analysis was conducted, and the results proved that the 10 degree lorodic interbody did not introduce any new worstcase in regards to mechanical stresses and standardized testing and was still superior to predicate.
o Design Validation testing was performed, and user feedback confirmed superior usability to predicates.
· Anchor Geometry: The anchor geometry remains almost identical to what was released under K191489. The mochor was the addition of a small interference ramp up on the side of the anchor. This was done in order to provide perceptual indication that the anchor was secure, but also provide tactile feedback that the anchor was not loose within the interbody channel.
o Anchor Push-Out testing was conducted, and the results proved superior to predicates.
o Design Validation testing was performed, and user feedback confirmed superior usability to predicates.
All interbody devices, which all have the same as previously cleared by the predicate 510(k) submission: K191489. The design of the integrated locking mechanism has been improved to increase anchor push-out forces and physician usbility. The cervical Anchors, which all have the GAC- prefix, have been updated slightly from the previously cleared 510(k) submission K191489.
The Genesys Spine 3DP AIS-C II Cervical Interbody Fusion System was compared to the designs, materials, features, functions, intended uses and overall technology were found to be substantially equivalent. As a result of this analysis, the system differences would not impact safety or effectiveness. This analysis can be found in the substantial equivalence comparison attachment.
