The Proximity Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.
The Segmental Plating System (SPS) is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.
The subject Alphatec Plating Systems consists of two anterior cervical plate subsystems, Proximity Anterior Cervical Plate System and Segmental Plating System, intended for anterior fixation to the cervical spine. The Alphatec Plating Systems consist of a variety of sizes of plates and screws that are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The systems offer instrumentation for the delivery of the plate and screw constructs. The instruments in this system are intended for use in surgical procedures. The Alphatec Plating Systems implants are provided either terminally sterile or non-sterile to be steam sterilized by the end user.
I apologize, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Alphatec Spine Proximity™ Anterior Cervical Plate System does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria for software-based AI/ML devices.
The document details:
- Device Type: Spinal Intervertebral Body Fixation Orthosis (a physical implantable device, not a software/AI device).
- Regulations: Primarily related to medical devices, specifically orthopedic implants.
- Performance Data: Lists non-clinical (mechanical) testing based on ASTM standards (e.g., Static and Dynamic Compression Bending, Static Screw Push-out) and sterilization/packaging validations.
- Substantial Equivalence: Compares the mechanical design and indications for use of the Proximity™ system to predicate physical spinal fixation devices.
Therefore, I cannot extract the information required by your prompts (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes for AI test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance, etc.) because these concepts are not applicable to the type of device described in this 510(k) clearance letter. The letter pertains to a traditional, physical Class II medical device, not a software-based or AI/ML-driven diagnostic or therapeutic tool.
§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.
