The Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System is intended for posterior, noncervical pedicle fixation, T1-S2 or sacral/iliac screw fixation. Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally mature patients and is intended to be used as an adjunct to fusion. The device is indicated for all the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; deformities or curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion.
Streamline MIS Instrumentation, when used with the Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System, is indicated to provide the surgeon with a minimally invasive approach for posterior spinal surgery.
Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System is a temporary, multiple component cannulated pedicle screw system comprised of a variety of components that allow the surgeon to build a spinal implant construct through an open or percutaneous approach. The implant components include rods, extended tab cannulated polyaxial pedicle screws, crosslinks, and locking set screws that are fabricated from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) and provided nonsterile. The components are available in various sizes to accommodate differing patient anatomy. The system is attached to the pedicles by means of screws to the posterior, noncervical spine. The spinal construct is completed by connecting the screws with titanium alloy rods. Crosslinks can be used if additional stabilization is necessary.
The Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System includes instrumentation to provide the surgeon with a minimally invasive approach for posterior spinal surgery.
Class I manual instruments are also included.
I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no information regarding the acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes for test and training sets, data provenance, number or qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC comparative effectiveness studies, standalone algorithm performance, or the specific type of ground truth used for the Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System.
The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (spinal fixation system) and primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It highlights:
- Device Description and Indications for Use: What the device is and what it's used for.
- Comparison to Predicate: Stating that the new device has the same intended use, technological characteristics, operating principle, design features, performance, base materials, and shelf life as the predicate device(s).
- Summary of Mechanical Performance Data: Mentions "non-standard testing" for specific characteristics like torque to failure for instrumentation drivers, but does not provide acceptance criteria or specific performance results. It concludes that this testing "supports that Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for safety and efficacy."
- Summary of Magnetic Resonance (MR) Safety Evaluation: Mentions standard testing (ASTM F2503-13, ASTM F2502-15, ASTM F2213-17 and ASTM F2182-11a) to determine MR labeling as 'MR Conditional', but again, no specific acceptance criteria or performance metrics are listed.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, or details about the study setup for evaluating an AI/algorithm-based device from this document. The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system, not an AI or software-as-a-medical-device that would typically involve the kind of performance studies you are asking about (e.g., using experts, ground truth, training/test sets for an algorithm).

When Fortilink®-C is used as cervical interbody fusion (IBF) implants, these devices are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one level or two contiguous levels. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These IBF devices are used to facilitate interbody fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach from C2-C3 to C7-T1 using autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The IBF devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for the implanted level. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an interbody fusion device.
When Fortilink®-TS and Fortilink®-L are used as lumbar interbody fusion (IBF) implants, these devices are indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine at one level or two contiguous levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These IBF devices are used to facilitate interbody fusion in the lumbar spine from L1-L2 to L5-S1 using autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The IBF devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for the implanted level. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an interbody fusion device.
The Fortilink® interbody fusion (IBF) devices are designed to be inserted into the intervertebral body space of the spine, and are intended for intervertebral body fusion. The purpose of this 510(k) is to seek marketing clearance for modifications to the straight and angled inserter tools for the Fortilink®-L device. The modifications include the following:
Straight Inserter: Improve opening mechanism and disassembly prevention features
Angled Inserter:
- Apply an offset and angle to the inserter handle to align it with the Fortilink®-L . implant
- Apply the same design changes (improved opening mechanism and disassembly ● features) as applied for the straight inserter
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Fortilink® IBF System with TETRAfuse®3D Technology, specifically focusing on modifications to inserter tools. It does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to clinical performance, nor does it involve an AI/ML component.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as the document *does not contain details about acceptance criteria or a study related to device performance in the context of clinical outcomes or AI/ML. *
The information present in the document pertains to:
- Device cleared: Fortilink® IBF System with TETRAfuse®3D Technology, with modified straight and angled inserter tools.
- Purpose of 510(k): Seeking marketing clearance for modifications to inserter tools, not for the underlying interbody fusion device's clinical efficacy or safety, which would have been established in previous clearances (referenced by K172343).
- Assessment of modifications: The substantial equivalence is based on engineering analysis and testing, including:
- Risk analysis
- Simulated insertion/removal testing
- Tissue blocking opening testing
- Reuse testing
- Stack-up of design drawings
- Acceptance Criteria for the Modifeid Inserter Tools: "All completed tests met the pre-determined acceptance criteria." However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria for these engineering tests are not detailed in this summary.
- Type of Ground Truth: For the mechanical/engineering tests, the "ground truth" would be the successful completion of the tests according to design specifications and pre-determined mechanical/functional requirements. This is not clinical ground truth.
In summary, the provided document is a regulatory clearance letter and 510(k) summary for a device modification (inserter tools), not a clinical study report or performance evaluation of a device (especially not an AI/ML device) that would typically involve the detailed acceptance criteria and study information you've requested.
