Device Description

Reef L Interbody System

The Reef L Interbody System featuring NanoMetalene surface technology consists of lateral intervertebral body fusion devices manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) (per ASTM F2026) with tantalum (per ASTM F560) markers for radiographic visualization and NanoMetalene, which is a one-micron thick surface layer of commercially pure titanium (per ASTM F67) that provides a microscopic roughened surface with nano-scale features. The interbody spacers are available in a variety of footprints, heights, and lordotic options to accommodate variations in pathology and patient anatomy and include central graft windows for receiving autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone or a bone void filler as cleared by FDA for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. The spacers are individually packaged and gamma sterilized.

The Reef L interbody spacers can be used alone with supplemental fixation or in combination with fixation implants (i.e., plates, screws, and locking covers) to create the TruProfile Interbody configuration. The fixation implants are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and provided non-sterile.

The system includes the associated non-sterile instruments that facilitate the placement, adjustment, and removal, if necessary, of the system implants as well as trays and caddies that may be used for storage, protection, and organization prior to and during the steam sterilization process for the non-sterile components.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Reef L Interbody System and WaveForm L Interbody System. It describes the devices' characteristics and claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical testing.

Based on the provided text, the following information can be extracted regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (Summary)
Mechanical PerformanceSubstantially equivalent to predicate systems through static and dynamic axial compression and compression-shear (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), wear evaluation (ASTM F2077), and expulsion.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • The document does not specify a sample size for the test set used in non-clinical mechanical testing.
  • The data provenance is from non-clinical testing (mechanical performance). The document does not specify country of origin or whether it's retrospective or prospective, though non-clinical tests are typically prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • This information is not applicable as the evaluation was based on non-clinical mechanical testing, not expert-derived ground truth on clinical data.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • This information is not applicable as the evaluation was based on non-clinical mechanical testing, not clinical data requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size:

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The "Clinical Testing" section explicitly states: "Not applicable. The determination of substantial equivalence is not based on an assessment of clinical performance data."

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

  • This information is not applicable. This device is a physical intervertebral body fusion system, not an algorithm or software. Its performance is evaluated through physical and mechanical tests.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to the specified performance standards and mechanical properties outlined in standard test methods (ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267) and compared against predicate devices. The goal was to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not to establish a "ground truth" in the clinical sense.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • This information is not applicable as there is no mention of a training set. The evaluation is based on non-clinical mechanical testing, not machine learning or AI.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • This information is not applicable as there is no mention of a training set or a ground truth established for one.
