Intended Use

The intended use is to facilitate the placement of the pedicle screws using the power technique (cordless). When the attachment is attached, the Stryker Power Tools provide power to rotate the screwdrivers for the insertion of pedicle screws.

Pedicle screws from select Stryker Spine implant systems may be implemented in the non-cervical spine using powered instrumentation.

Device Description

The Stryker POWEReam Xia/Serrato is an attachment used with a Stryker battery powered handpiece that drives accessories to achieve their intended function. The design reduces the speed and increases the torque output from the handpiece by a ratio of 5:1.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called POWEReam Xia/Serrato, which is an attachment used with a Stryker battery-powered handpiece to facilitate the placement of pedicle screws. The submission seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Stryker POWEReam ¼” Drive (K233300).

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided in the document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document states that "All pre-defined acceptance criteria for the above tests have been met." However, it does not explicitly list the specific acceptance criteria or provide detailed performance data in a table format. It only broadly states that the device performs as intended.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device PerformanceComments
Performance Design Verification Testing"All pre-defined acceptance criteria for the above tests have been met."Specific criteria and data are not provided. This suggests fundamental functional performance tests were passed.
Human Factors and Usability Engineering"All pre-defined acceptance criteria for the above tests have been met."Specific criteria and data are not provided. This indicates the device's design is user-friendly and safe for its intended use.
Simulated Use Design Validation Testing"All pre-defined acceptance criteria for the above tests have been met."Specific criteria and data are not provided. This suggests the device was tested under conditions mimicking real-world surgical use and performed adequately.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the sample size used for the test set for any of the non-clinical tests (Performance Design Verification, Human Factors, Simulated Use Design Validation). It also does not provide information about the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

Since this is a non-clinical submission for a mechanical instrument, the concept of "experts" establishing ground truth in the same way it would be for diagnostic AI is not directly applicable. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would have been established by engineering specifications, validated test methods, and potentially a team of engineers or quality assurance personnel. The document does not specify the number of individuals involved in establishing these engineering "truths" or their specific qualifications (e.g., "mechanical engineer with 15 years of experience in medical device design").

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As this is a non-clinical device focused on mechanical performance and usability, traditional adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 (common in AI diagnostic studies) are not mentioned or typically used. The "adjudication" of test results would likely involve review and approval by qualified engineers and quality personnel based on established test protocols and acceptance criteria. No specific adjudication method is detailed in the document.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required for this Traditional 510(k)." MRMC studies are typically clinical studies designed to compare diagnostic performance, especially with AI assistance. This device is a surgical instrument attachment, not a diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable to the device described. The POWEReam Xia/Serrato is a mechanical attachment for a surgical power tool, not an algorithm, and it inherently requires human-in-the-loop operation. "Standalone performance" in the context of an algorithm does not apply here. The non-clinical tests (Performance Design Verification, Human Factors, Simulated Use Design Validation) assessed the device's functional performance and usability.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by:

  • Engineering Specifications: The design parameters, torque outputs, speed reductions, and material properties defined during the device's development.
  • Validated Test Methods: Standardized procedures and instruments used to measure the device's performance against its specifications.
  • Regulatory Standards: Adherence to relevant industry and regulatory standards for medical devices.

It does not involve expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the manner of diagnostic devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This question is not applicable. The POWEReam Xia/Serrato is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" of data.

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

This question is not applicable as there is no training set for a mechanical device.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The subject device has the same intended use as the predicate device as they are both used to facilitate placement of pedicle screws in non-cervical spine procedures. The subject device is indicated to facilitate the placement of pedicle screws using the Stryker Spine Xia and Serrato screwdrivers, while the predicate device is indicated to facilitate the placement of pedicle screws using tools with a 1/4" square fitting.

The design of both the subject and predicate device are similar. Both transmit torque and speed provided from the powered handpiece to associated accessories and both reduce the speed and increase the torque output from the handpiece at a 5:1 gear ratio reduction. The accessory connection end is similar with quick connection design technology; however, the geometries are different as they are designed to connect to different accessories.

Risk evaluation and performance testing have shown that the differences do not introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness and that the subject is at least as safe and effective as the predicate, supporting a determination of substantial equivalence. The evaluation and testing have demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

A suite of non-clinical testing was executed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Testing included:

  • Performance Design Verification Testing ●
  • Human Factors and Usability Engineering ●
  • Simulated Use Design Validation Testing ●

All pre-defined acceptance criteria for the above tests have been met. Results from this testing confirm that the subject device performs as intended and supports a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Summary of Clinical Testing

Clinical testing was not required for this Traditional 510(k).

Conclusion

The Stryker POWEReam Xia/Serrato is substantially equivalent to the predicate device currently cleared under K233300 as it has the same intended use, same design, principle of operation and technological characteristics. No new questions of safety or effectiveness have been raised as compared to the predicate. Performance testing has demonstrated that the Stryker POWEReam Xia/Serrato is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
