    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) clearance letter (K251193) is for bone graft materials (Grafton™ DBM, Grafton Plus™ DBM Paste, Magnifuse™ Bone Graft) and does not describe an AI/software device or a study with "acceptance criteria" based on AI performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader studies.

    The document details the substantial equivalence of new product formulations/expanded indications for use to previously cleared predicate and reference devices. The "performance" section refers to pre-clinical testing and leveraging prior clearances for bone graft characteristics (e.g., DBM properties, viral inactivation, shelf-life, biocompatibility in animal models, etc.), not a clinical study involving human readers or AI algorithm performance.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the information requested in your prompt as it pertains to AI device acceptance criteria and performance studies. The document does not contain:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI system.
    • Sample sizes for a test set, data provenance, or expert ground truth establishment for an AI study.
    • Details on MRMC studies or human reader improvement with AI assistance.
    • Standalone algorithm performance.
    • Description of ground truth type for an AI system.
    • Training set sample size or how ground truth for training was established for an AI system.

    The "Performance" section explicitly states: "The devices' performance in the intervertebral body space was supported by a robust analysis of bone grafting materials in the prior posterolateral spine fusion studies." This refers to biological and mechanical performance of the bone graft materials themselves, not an AI software.

    Intended Use

    The Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology is intended to be used in spinal fusion procedures for patients diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

    These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of nonoperative treatment. The Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology is intended to be used with autograft bone and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate or a bone void filler cleared for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. These implants may be implanted via an open or a minimally invasive posterior approach and/or transforaminal approach.

    Device Description

    The Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology consists of Additively Manufactured (AM) titanium spacers of various lengths, and heights to accommodate patient anatomy. These devices can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The open geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autograft bone and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate or a bone void filler cleared for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. The Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology in intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

    The subject Adaptix™ Interbody System Fusion devices are available in a variety of lengths and heights for treatment in lumbar interbody fusion procedures. The subject device is designed with a large hollow region in the center to house autograft or allograft bone comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate or a bone void filler cleared for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. The design incorporates "honeycomb windows" through the interbody device to permit bone growth through the implant. The new bone formation through the Interbody Device is intended to provide long-term structural support and fusion at the implanted disc space. The Interbody Device incorporates Titan Surface Technologies™ including a macro-rough surface on the superior and inferior surfaces of the device along with the entire device being treated with nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology (MMN™) to improve fixation to the adjacent bone. The nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology (MMN™) provides a microscopic roughened surface with nano-scale features.

    The subject device is manufactured from Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium Extra Low Interstitial (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) powder in accordance with ASTM F3001: Standard specification for additive manufacturing titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) with powder bed fusion.

    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) clearance letter is for the Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology, which is an intervertebral body fusion device. This type of device is a physical implant designed to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD).

    Crucially, this document describes a medical device (an implant), not a software or AI-driven diagnostic/therapeutic device.

    Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study design for AI/software devices (such as sample sizes for test/training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment for AI models) is not applicable to this 510(k) submission.

    The "performance data" section in this document refers to the data demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the physical implant, which typically involves mechanical testing, biocompatibility testing, material characterization, and comparison to predicate devices, rather than clinical performance data from a diagnostic algorithm.

    Here's how to interpret the provided document in the context of your request:

    Key Takeaway from the Document:

    The current 510(k) submission (K250669) is not for a new device design or new technology assessment, but rather to expand the indications for use of an already cleared physical implant (Adaptix™ Interbody System with Titan nanoLOCK™ Surface Technology, K201267) to include the use of bone void fillers as an additional graft option.

    The core argument for clearance is substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, arguing that the expanded use does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns, as bone void fillers are widely used and the primary predicate device is already cleared.


    Given this understanding, here's an attempt to answer your questions based on the provided text, highlighting where the information is not applicable due to the nature of the device:

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

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for this type of device and submission):
    For an interbody fusion device, the acceptance criteria typically revolve around:

    • Biocompatibility: The material (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) must be biocompatible and safe for long-term implantation.
    • Mechanical Strength/Durability: Ability to withstand physiological loads, prevent subsidence, and maintain stability. This is typically demonstrated through static and fatigue testing.
    • Pore Size/Osteoconductivity: The design (e.g., "honeycomb windows," macro-rough and nanoLOCK™ surfaces) should facilitate bone ingrowth and fusion.
    • Substantial Equivalence: The device must be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as predicate devices. For this specific submission, the crucial acceptance criterion is that adding bone void fillers does not negatively impact the safety or effectiveness of the pre-existing device.

    Reported Device Performance (as described in the 510(k) Summary):
    The document explicitly states:
    "The subject Adaptix™ Interbody System devices do not require any additional data to support their expanded use with bone void fillers to facilitate intervertebral body fusion. This submission does not contain any new or modified implants since the original 510(k) clearance (K201267, S.E. 08-26-2020)."

    "The overall design and dimensions of the subject devices are within the established size range of the predicate devices, ensuring compatibility and consistency in performance."

    "The inclusion of bone void fillers as an additional graft option does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns. Bone void fillers are widely used in spinal fusion procedures and have been demonstrated to be safe and effective promoting bone growth and fusion."

    Therefore, the "performance" demonstrated for this specific submission is that the device, when used with bone void fillers, maintains its established safety and effectiveness profile, relying on the prior clearance of the device itself and the known safety/effectiveness of bone void fillers.

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

    • Not Applicable: This is a physical implant device seeking expanded indications based on substantial equivalence, not an AI/software device requiring a clinical test set from patient data. The "test set" would have referred to mechanical testing and material characterization, which are not detailed here beyond stating the device is made from Ti-6Al-4V ELI in accordance with ASTM F3001.

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

    • Not Applicable: No "ground truth" in the AI/ML sense (e.g., labeling of medical images) is established for an implant device. Clinical efficacy is ultimately determined by fusion rates and patient outcomes in clinical trials, but this 510(k) relies on substantial equivalence and previous data.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    • Not Applicable: No diagnostic interpretations requiring adjudication are involved.

    5. 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 refers to AI-assisted diagnostic studies, which are not relevant to this physical interbody fusion device.

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

    • Not Applicable: This refers to the performance of an AI algorithm, not relevant to this physical implant.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • Not Applicable in the AI/ML sense. For a physical implant, "ground truth" relates to successful fusion (bone growth) and clinical outcomes (pain reduction, functional improvement). This is typically established through radiographic evidence (CT scans, X-rays to confirm fusion), clinical examinations, and patient-reported outcomes from clinical studies, often comparing to a control or predicate. However, in this specific 510(k), the "ground truth" for the expanded use with bone void fillers is the established safety and effectiveness of bone void fillers themselves, and the prior data supporting the device's original clearance.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable: No AI/ML training set is involved.

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

    • Not Applicable: No AI/ML training set is involved.

    Summary for this specific 510(k) (K250669):

    The submission is for an expanded indication for use of an already cleared spinal interbody fusion device (Adaptix™ Interbody System). The "acceptance criteria" and "study" are implicitly tied to demonstrating that the addition of bone void fillers as a graft option does not compromise the device's established safety and effectiveness.

    The "study" that proves the device meets the "acceptance criteria" for this specific submission is a demonstration of substantial equivalence by:

    • Asserting that no new or modified implants are introduced.
    • Confirming the overall design and dimensions are consistent with predicate devices.
    • Citing the widespread use and established safety/effectiveness of bone void fillers in spinal fusion.
    • Pointing out that the language for bone void fillers mirrors that of other cleared predicate devices.

    This 510(k) is a regulatory update based on existing knowledge and established practices, rather than the presentation of novel clinical study data for a new device or an AI algorithm.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a new medical device to existing predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance metrics in the context of an AI/ML medical device.

    The document discusses bone void filler devices (Mastergraft™ family) and their indications for use, stating that the current submission expands their use to include intervertebral disc space. The core of the notification is to establish that these devices are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices. This is a regulatory pathway for medical devices that does not typically involve the kind of detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical outcome measures that would be expected for a novel AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic tool.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request using the provided text because it does not describe:

    1. Acceptance criteria for device performance (in the context of an AI/ML device).
    2. A study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document references prior clearances and robust analysis from previous studies, but it doesn't detail a new study design, methodology, or results related to specific performance metrics for the current submission.
    3. Details about sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details. These are all concepts relevant to the validation of AI/ML models, which are not discussed in this medical device submission.

    The "Performance" section explicitly states: "The subject devices have been previously cleared under K141824, K082166, K071813, and K082918, which serve as Reference Devices. These submissions are leveraged to support the device's sterility, shelf-life, endotoxin, pyrogenicity, biocompatibility, and characterizations/bench performance as recommended in FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Devices. The device's performance in intervertebral spine was supported by a robust analysis of bone grafting materials in the prior posterolateral spine fusion studies." This indicates reliance on previous data and general guidelines, not a new, specific performance study with the requested AI/ML validation metrics.

    Intended Use

    The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device, including those with or without micro- and nano-roughened surface textures, is indicated for use as an intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD - defined by discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Additionally, the Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System can be used with patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformities as an adjunct to fusion. When used in patients as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity conditions, additional supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) must be used. These patients should be skeletally mature and have undergone 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. Implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine using autogenous bone graft and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate.

    These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive anterior or oblique approaches.

    The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device may be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with supplemental fixation. When used as a stand-alone device, the Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device is intended to be used with 4 titanium alloy screws. If the physician chooses to use less than 4 or none of the provided screws, additional supplemental fixation in the lumbar spine must be used to augment stability. Implants with lordosis angles greater than 20° are intended to be used with 4 screws and supplemental fixation.

    Device Description

    The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System is an expandable titanium alloy interbody device consisting of expandable interbodies of various widths, lengths, heights, and lordotic angles to accommodate patient anatomy. These devices can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. Implants have a central cavity that allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate.

    The interbody devices incorporate Titan Surface Technologies™, where exterior surfaces include nanoLOCK™ surface treatments designed to improve bone fixation to adjacent bone. nanoLOCK™ surface technology provides a microscopic, roughened surface with nano-scale features. nanoLOCK surface technology is specifically engineered to have nano textured features at a nanometer (10-9) level, which has demonstrated the ability to elicit an endogenous cellular and biochemical response attributed to these nanotextured features in vitro. nanoLOCK surface technology demonstrates elements to be considered nanotechnology as outlined in the FDA nanotechnology guidance document.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called the Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System. It details the device's characteristics, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with performance data.

    However, this document does not describe acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device, nor does it detail a study proving such a device meets acceptance criteria.

    The device described, an intervertebral body fusion device, is a physical implant, not an AI/ML software device. The "Performance Data" section specifically lists mechanical tests (e.g., Static and Dynamic Compression, Subsidence, Expulsion, Wear Debris, Bone screw push out, MRI Safety Evaluation) that are relevant to the physical and biomechanical characteristics of an implantable device, not to the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study proving an AI/ML device meets them based on the provided input, as the input concerns a traditional medical implant.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes a spinal system, not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the requested information pertaining to AI/ML device performance, such as acceptance criteria for AI models, human expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and training/test set details are not applicable.

    The provided text focuses on the substantial equivalence of the Medtronic CD Horizon™ Spinal System to predicate devices, supported by mechanical testing and rationales.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text based on the request's categories, indicating where information is present and where it is not applicable for this type of device:

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

    Acceptance Criteria (from referenced ASTM standards)Reported Device Performance
    ASTM F1717: Static Compression, Static Torsion, Compression Fatigue"the pre-determined acceptance criteria was met for all tests." (Specific numerical values for acceptance criteria and results are not provided in this summary, but would be in the full test reports).
    ASTM F1798: Axial Grip, Axial Torsion, Flexion Extension Static, Flexion Extension Fatigue"the pre-determined acceptance criteria was met for all tests." (Specific numerical values for acceptance criteria and results are not provided).
    ASTM F2503: MRI Compatibility Evaluation"the pre-determined acceptance criteria was met for all tests." (Specific numerical values for acceptance criteria and results are not provided).

    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in this summary. Mechanical testing usually involves a specific number of samples per test type (e.g., 5-10 samples per group).
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of "data provenance" for patient data, as this is a mechanical device. The testing was conducted by Medtronic to demonstrate substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.

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

    • Not Applicable: This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or therapeutic device that relies on expert interpretation for ground truth. Ground truth for mechanical performance is established through standardized testing protocols (ASTM standards) and engineering principles.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not Applicable: Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations, typically in clinical studies or AI model evaluations. For mechanical testing, the results are quantitative and directly measured against engineering specifications.

    5. 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 is a mechanical device. MRMC studies are specific to evaluating diagnostic accuracy of imaging systems, often in the context of human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

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

    • Not Applicable: This is a mechanical device. "Standalone" performance refers to AI algorithm performance without human intervention.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    • Engineering Specifications and Standardized Test Methods: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by the specified mechanical properties (e.g., strength, durability, fatigue resistance) defined by relevant ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards (F1717, F1798, F2503). Compliance with these standards indicates the device performs as intended for its mechanical application.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable: "Training set" refers to data used to train AI/ML models. This is a mechanical device, not an AI model.

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

    • Not Applicable: As no AI training set exists, no ground truth establishment for it is relevant.

    Device Description

    The CD Horizon™ Spinal System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws, Crosslink™ Plates, staples, and connecting components, as well as implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. A subset of CD Horizon™ Spinal System components may be used for posterior pedicle screw fixation in pediatric cases. These constructs may be comprised of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods (ranging in diameter from 3.5 to 6.35mm), hooks, screws, Crosslink™ plates and connecting components. Similar to the CD Horizon™ implants used in adult cases, these components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. Certain components within the CD Horizon™ Spinal System are specifically excluded for use in pediatric patients. These include PEEK rods, Shape Memory Alloy Staples, Spire™ plates, and Dynalok™ bolts. Screws used in pediatric cases are only cleared for use via a posterior approach. Components used in pediatric cases are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel, medical grade titanium, titanium alloy, and medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Certain implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems can be used with the CD Horizon™ Spinal System in non- pediatric cases. These components include TSRH™ rods, hooks, screws, plates, Crosslink™ plates, connectors, staples, and washers, GDLH™ rods, hooks, connectors, and Crosslink™ bar and connectors; Liberty™ rods and screws; Dynalok™ Plus and Dynalok Classic™ bolts along with rod/bolt connectors; and Medtronic multi-axial rods and screws. Note: certain components are specifically designed to connect to specific rod diameters, while other components can connect to multiple rod diameters. Care should be taken so the correct components are used in the spinal construct. CD Horizon™ hooks are intended for posterior use only. CD Horizon™ staples and CD Horizon™ Eclipse™ rods and associated screws are intended for anterior use only. However, for patients of smaller stature and pediatric patients, CD Horizon™ 4.5mm rods and associated components may be used posteriorly. CD Horizon™ Spinal System implant components are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel, medical grade titanium titanium alloy medical grade cobalt-chromium- molybdenum alloy, or medical grade PEEK Optima-LT1. Certain CD Horizon™ Spinal System components may be coated with hydroxyapatite.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document, K233951, is a 510(k) premarket notification for the CD Horizon ModuLeX Spinal System (Shanks, Head Assemblies, and Set Screw). It is a notification demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, not a study for a new device with new acceptance criteria and a detailed clinical trial. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, and AI performance is not applicable to this type of submission.

    Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided and why other requested details are absent:

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

      • Acceptance Criteria (General): The acceptance criteria for this type of submission are typically that the new device does not present a "new worst case" compared to the predicate devices and meets established ASTM standards for spinal implants. The document explicitly states: "For the tested subject devices, the pre-determined acceptance criteria was met for all tests."
      • Reported Device Performance: The performance data reported is primarily through engineering bench testing according to existing ASTM standards for spinal implants. The document indicates that for tested devices, acceptance criteria were met. For rationalized devices (those where new testing was deemed unnecessary because they do not present a new worst case), the existing predicate data applies.
      Acceptance Criteria (Type)Reported Device Performance
      ASTM F1717: Static Compression, Static Torsion, Compression Fatigue (Relevant for spinal system components)Met pre-determined acceptance criteria for all tested devices.
      ASTM F1798: Axial Grip, Axial Torsion, Flexion Extension Static, Flexion Extension Fatigue Screw Reduction to Failure Testing (Relevant for pedicle screw systems)Met pre-determined acceptance criteria for all tested devices.
      ASTM F2503: MRI Compatibility EvaluationMet pre-determined acceptance criteria for all tested devices.
      Device does not present a "new worst case" compared to predicate devices (for rationalized devices). This implies that the performance characteristics (mechanical strength, material compatibility, etc.) are equivalent to or better than the predicate devices, as demonstrated by the existing predicate data or engineering analysis. The subject devices have the same intended use, indications for use, materials, similar overall design, fundamental technology, sterilization, and surgical technique as the predicate devices. The subject and predicate implants have the same function and fundamental scientific technology.Applicable (existing predicate data is applicable).
    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

      • This document refers to bench testing (mechanical, material, MRI compatibility). The "sample size" for such testing is generally a number of physical specimens tested to meet statistical power for engineering analysis, not a patient-based test set as in clinical studies. The document does not specify the exact number of physical samples for each test (e.g., how many screws were tested for axial grip).
      • Data Provenance: This is engineering test data, not patient data. Therefore, concepts like "country of origin of the data," "retrospective," or "prospective" are not applicable.
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

      • Not applicable. This is an engineering test of spinal implant components, not an AI or diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation of medical images or patient data to establish ground truth.
    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not applicable. Adjudication methods are used in clinical studies or performance studies where multiple readers or experts assess outcomes. This is bench testing.
    5. 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 is a spinal implant device, not an AI or diagnostic software. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.
    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI.
    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • Not applicable in the clinical sense. For mechanical testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the physical limits and standards outlined in the ASTM protocols (e.g., a screw must withstand a certain load without failure, or a material must not show adverse reactions in an MRI environment).
    8. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not applicable. As above, no training set for an AI/ML model is involved.

    Summary of the 510(k) Submission:

    This 510(k) submission for the CD Horizon ModuLeX Spinal System focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices already on the market. The primary "study" involved is a series of bench tests (mechanical and MRI compatibility) conducted according to established ASTM standards (F1717, F1798, F2503) for spinal implants. The key "acceptance criterion" for these tests is simply meeting the pre-determined specifications of these standards, and the document states that these criteria were met for all tested devices. For components not subjected to new testing, the justification ("rationalization") relies on the fact that they do not present a "new worst case" compared to previously cleared predicate devices, implying their performance aligns with the existing, cleared data. This type of submission does not involve clinical studies or AI performance evaluations.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the OsteoCool™ 2.0 RF Ablation System and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (OsteoCool™ RF Ablation System, K182497 S.E. 12/17/2018). The information provided focuses on the device's characteristics and the testing performed, rather than a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML model for medical imaging, as might be implied by the prompt's structured questions.

    However, interpreting "acceptance criteria" as the criteria for demonstrating substantial equivalence for a medical device and "device performance" as the data presented to support this claim, I will attempt to answer the questions based on the provided text.

    The provided text does NOT describe an AI/ML device or a study involving human readers and AI assistance for an imaging application. Therefore, many of the questions regarding AI/ML specific criteria, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and training/test set details are not applicable (N/A) to this document.

    The document details the physical device's technical specifications and bench-top testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a prior version.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Based on the document, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the substantial equivalence demonstration, which relies on showing that the new device has "the same fundamental scientific technology, including principles of operation and mechanism of action" and performs comparably to the predicate device through various tests.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied for Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device)Reported Device Performance (Summary from "Performance Data")
    Functional Equivalence: Device delivers controlled RF energy for ablation.The OsteoCool™ 2.0 RF Ablation System delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy in a bipolar manner with a cooling mechanism to facilitate RF lesions in target tissue. The generator, pump, and probes work together to deliver RF energy and circulate cooling water, consistent with the principle of operation.
    Safety and Performance Compliance: Meets mechanical, electrical, biocompatibility, data integrity, temperature accuracy, cleaning, connectivity, and usability requirements.Bench top testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence. System components were subjected to the following verification and validation tests, as applicable: mechanical, electrical, biocompatibility, data integrity, temperature accuracy, cleaning, connectivity, and usability. The document states these tests were performed and implies successful completion to support substantial equivalence.
    Comparative Ablation Characteristics: Produces comparable lesion size and thermal effects to the predicate device.Bench-top validation testing was performed for the OsteoCool™ 2.0 RF Ablation System using ex-vivo tissue and product usage in cadaveric bone as per the guidance. Lesion size (length and width) was measured during ex-vivo testing at the 50 degree C isotherm. Color change due to blood coagulation at elevated temperatures between thermally affected tissue and raw tissue was evaluated. (The document states these measurements were taken but does not provide the specific numerical results of the lesion sizes or a direct comparison to the predicate's performance, only that it "demonstrated substantial equivalence" through these tests).

    The product being reviewed is an RF ablation system, a physical medical device, not a software/AI system for diagnostics from imaging data. Therefore, the following AI/ML-specific questions are largely not applicable.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document mentions "ex-vivo tissue" and "cadaveric bone" were used for bench-top validation testing. It does not specify the number of samples (e.g., number of tissue blocks, cadaveric segments) used.
    • Data Provenance: The testing was "bench-top testing" performed by the manufacturer (Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA Inc.). It is laboratory testing; thus, it is not "country of origin of the data" in the sense of patient data, nor is it retrospective or prospective in the clinical study sense. It is laboratory product validation.

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

    • N/A. This is a physical device being tested for its functional performance (e.g., lesion creation, electrical safety), not an AI/ML system requiring expert-annotated ground truth from medical images.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • N/A. Not applicable to physical device bench testing.

    5. 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:

    • N/A. This is a physical RF ablation device, not an AI/ML software for image interpretation or diagnosis.

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

    • N/A. This is a physical device designed for human use in a medical procedure. It is not an algorithm that functions in a "standalone" capacity.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be the physical measurements of the lesions created (length, width, temperature isotherm), electrical parameters, and material biocompatibility, as determined by standard laboratory techniques and instruments, not expert consensus on medical images or pathology from human subjects.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • N/A. This device is not an AI/ML model that undergoes "training." Its performance is based on its engineered design and physical properties.

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

    • N/A. Not applicable as there is no "training set" for this physical device.

    Device Description

    CD Horizon™ Fenestrated Screw Set
    The CD Horizon™ Fenestrated Screw Set consists of a variety of cannulated screws. These screws contain a series of fenestrations which allows polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement (Medtronic HV-R™ Fenestrated Screw Cement or Kyphon™ Xpede™ Bone Cement) to be injected into the treated site. This cement is used to augment screw fixation into the pedicle in patients whose life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. These implants may also serve as traditional pedicle screws when used without bone cement in patients.
    CD Horizon™ Fenestrated Screws are specifically designed to connect to appropriate rods and associated connecting components contained within the CD Horizon™ Spinal System. Refer to the CD Horizon™ Spinal System package insert for information regarding those implants. Care should be taken so the correct components are used in the spinal construct.
    CD Horizon™ Fenestrated Screw Set implant components are fabricated from medical grade titanium and/or medical grade titanium alloy and/or medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Never use stainless steel and titanium implant components in the same construct.
    Do not use CD Horizon™ Fenestrated Screw implants with components from any system other than the CD Horizon™ Spinal System.

    CD Horizon™ Spinal System
    The CD Horizon™ Spinal System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws, Crosslink™ Plates, staples, and connecting components, as well as implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.
    CD Horizon™ Spinal System implant components are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel, medical grade titanium, titanium alloy, medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, or medical grade PEEK Optima-LT1.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text does not describe a study involving an AI/ML device or its acceptance criteria. Instead, it is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a Class II medical device (Thoracolumbosacral Pedicle Screw System), specifically the Medtronic CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ FNS Screw Set and CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ Spinal System.

    The document discusses:

    • Device Description: Spinal screws, rods, and associated components used for spinal fixation.
    • Indications for Use: Various spinal conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, etc., for which the device can be used as an adjunct to fusion, or to restore spinal column integrity for a limited time in tumor patients when augmented with bone cement.
    • Predicate Devices: The new devices are compared to previously cleared Medtronic spinal systems (K201362 and K221244) to establish substantial equivalence.
    • Performance Data: The performance data primarily consists of mechanical/bench testing conducted according to ASTM standards (ASTM F1798 and ASTM F1717) to demonstrate that the new device has similar design features and does not present a new worst-case compared to the predicate devices. A risk analysis was also performed.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert review, or ground truth for an AI/ML device, as this information is not present in the provided document. The document focuses on demonstrating the mechanical equivalence of a physical implantable medical device to existing predicate devices, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
