CopiOs™ BVF, in combination with autologous bone marrow, is intended for use only for filling bone voids or gaps of the skeletal system (ie, extremities, pelvis, spine) that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. These voids may be a result of trauma or creation by surgeon. CopiOs™ BVF is intended to be gently packed into the void or gap and will resorb during the course of the healing process.
CopiOs™ BVF is a synthetic bone graft material consisting of mineralized, lyophilized collagen that has been formed into three-dimensional pads of various sizes for surgical implantation. The CopiOs™ BVF product sponge consists of dehydrothermally (DHT) cross-linked bovine dermal collagen mixed with calcium phosphate salt. The pads are approximately 67% mineral by weight. The fibrous collagen mixed with the calcium phosphate salt is cast into sponges as described in this application. The average porosity of the product was determined to be 93.39%, which allows for favorable conditions for cell migration and adherence to the collagenous matrix. Further, the calcium phosphate provides the mineral required for osteogenesis and the specific CopiOs™ BVF formulation provides a pH environment conducive for osteoinduction.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CopiOs™ Bone Void Filler (BVF). The study supporting its substantial equivalence is a comparative animal study.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information, based on the provided document:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state quantitative "acceptance criteria" in the form of specific thresholds for success. Instead, it frames the performance in terms of "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device (HEALOS). The performance claims are qualitative comparisons.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Composition: Similar collagen and calcium phosphate components. | CopiOs™ BVF: 33% type 1 bovine collagen, 67% calcium phosphate salt. |
HEALOS (predicate): 70% collagen, 30% non-ceramic hydroxyapatite. (Note: While different percentages, the document asserts substantial equivalence.) | |
Physical Structure: Similar physical form and porosity. | CopiOs™ BVF: Mineralized, lyophilized collagen into 3D pads. Average porosity 93.39%. |
HEALOS (predicate): Supplied as lyophilized product. (Implied similar physical structure). | |
Resorption Rate: Resorbed by the body at a comparable rate. | CopiOs™ BVF & HEALOS: Resorption rates are "similar as evidenced in the comparative rabbit radial defect study." |
Bone Regeneration/Remodeling: Promotes new bone formation and is remodeled equivalently. | CopiOs™ BVF & HEALOS: Both promote bone regeneration and are remodeled into new bone at equivalent rates "as demonstrated in the comparative rabbit radial defect study." |
Intended Use & Target Population: Same use case and patient group. | CopiOs™ BVF & HEALOS: Intended for the same use (filling bone voids/gaps in skeletal system, combination with autologous bone marrow) and target populations. |
Sterility: Device must be sterile. | CopiOs™ BVF & HEALOS: Both are sterile. |
Favorable Environment for Cell Migration/Adherence: Provides suitable environment for cellular activity. | CopiOs™ BVF & HEALOS: Both provide a favorable environment for cell migration and adherence to the collagenous matrix. |
pH Environment for Osteoinduction: Conducive to bone formation. | CopiOs™ BVF: Specific formulation provides a pH environment conducive for osteoinduction. (Not explicitly stated for HEALOS but implied through general equivalence). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions a "comparative rabbit radial defect study." The exact number of rabbits or defect sites used in this study (the "test set" for performance evaluation) is not specified in the provided text.
- Data Provenance: The study was a "comparative rabbit radial defect study," indicating animal data. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the sponsor is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The study would be considered prospective in nature, as it's an experimental design to evaluate the device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document does not provide information on the number or qualifications of experts involved in establishing the ground truth for the rabbit study. Histological analysis or imaging interpretation, which would likely involve experts, is implied for assessing bone regeneration and resorption, but details are absent.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
The document does not specify an adjudication method for the test set.
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
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted, nor is this device an AI-based system. This question is not applicable to the provided information.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable as the device is a medical implant (bone void filler), not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the "comparative rabbit radial defect study," the ground truth for evaluating bone regeneration and resorption would likely be based on histopathology (microscopic examination of tissue samples) and potentially imaging analysis (e.g., radiography, micro-CT) of the radial defects. This would constitute a form of objective, scientific assessment.
8. The sample size for the training set
This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. Therefore, the concept of a training set sample size is not applicable. The "training" for this device's development would involve biological research and materials science, not data training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As in point 8, the concept of a "training set" and its ground truth in the context of AI/ML is not applicable to this bone void filler device.

Instead, this document focuses on a medical device (spinal implant system) rather than a software or AI-based diagnostic/predictive device. The "testing" mentioned refers to biomechanical testing of the physical implants.
Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable to the content provided.
Here's a breakdown based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (If Applicable, for Software/AI) | Reported Device Performance (from K980288) |
---|---|
Not applicable (Device is a physical spinal implant system) | "Components of the Spine-Tech Silhouette Spinal Fixation System demonstrated equivalent mechanical performance as compared to several commercially available spinal fixation systems." |
Explanation: The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics commonly associated with software/AI (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). The performance reported is that the physical device components showed "equivalent mechanical performance" to predicate devices.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. The "testing" refers to biomechanical tests on device components, not a clinical test set from human data for an AI/software.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. The biomechanical testing would have been conducted in a lab setting, not using human data from a specific country or in a retrospective/prospective manner.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of AI/software, refers to clinically verified labels or outcomes. For biomechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be established by engineering standards and measurements, not clinical experts.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable, as there is no clinical test set or ground truth adjudication process described.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
- MRMC Study: No, this type of study is typically conducted for diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret medical images, often with AI assistance. This document describes a physical spinal implant system.
- Effect Size: Not applicable.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: For the biomechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be the established engineering and materials science standards for spinal implants (e.g., ASTM F-136 for titanium alloy, specifications for load-bearing, fatigue, etc.). This is a physical or engineering "ground truth," not a clinical ground truth.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This document is not about an AI/ML model, so there is no training set in that sense. The design and manufacturing processes are informed by engineering principles and possibly prior iterations, but not a "training set" of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model. The design and manufacturing of the physical device components are based on established engineering and medical device standards.
Summary of Document's Focus:
The K980288 document is a premarket notification for a physical medical device. Its purpose is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily through comparison of materials, design, function, and biomechanical testing. It does not involve software or artificial intelligence, and therefore, the requested information pertaining to AI/software validation studies is not present.

These procedures include; spinal fusion, joint arthrodesis, total joint replacement, fracture repair, maxillofacial reconstruction and tumor removal.
All components of the Spine-Tech Bone Harvested are intended for single use only.
The Spine-Tech Bone Harvester consists of two cutting head/collection tube sizes, Hudson or Hall fitting adapter for power use, trocar and plunger. The cutting heads and trocar are constructed from stainless steel. The collection tube and adapter are constructed from medical grade polycarbonate. The plunger is constructed from acetal copolymer.
After cutting and collection of morselized bone graft, the cutting head is removed from the collection tube with the trocar and bone is pushed out of the collection tube with the plunger.
Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary, aiming to extract the requested information about acceptance criteria and study details.
Based only on the provided text, it's immediately clear that the device is a physical medical instrument (bone harvester), not a software or AI-driven diagnostic device. Therefore, many of the requested points, such as those related to AI assistance, ground truth establishment for AI models, and sample sizes for training sets, are not applicable to this type of submission.
The 510(k) summary for a Class I device like the Spine-Tech Bone Harvester focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and verifying basic safety and performance, rather than complex clinical efficacy studies typically seen for higher-risk devices or novel technologies.
Acceptance Criteria and Study Details for Spine-Tech Bone Harvester
Given the nature of the device (a Class I surgical instrument), the "acceptance criteria" discussed in the 510(k) are related to materials, design, and basic functional performance, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity or specificity. Similarly, the "study" referred to is primarily bench testing and internal quality assurance, not clinical trials with patient populations or expert reviews.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Materials used in construction are biocompatible. | "Biocompatibility testing has been performed on the materials used in the construction of this device and is documented in the ASTM Standard." (Implies meeting ASTM standards for biocompatibility). |
Performance (Functional): Device adequately cuts and collects morselized autogenous bone graft. | "Performance and quality testing of the product included bench testing... All testing of the device yielded acceptable results." (Indicates successful functional performance). |
Quality (Dimensional & Workmanship): Device meets specified dimensions and workmanship standards. | "Performance and quality testing of the product included... dimensional and workmanship inspection. All testing of the device yielded acceptable results." (Indicates compliance with design specifications). |
Material/Design/Function Equivalence: Device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices. | "The Spine-Tech Bone Harvester is substantially equivalent in material, design, and function to Acumed Bone Graft System and other general and orthopedic surgical instruments used for the harvesting of autogenous bone." (This is a summary conclusion based on internal comparison and testing). |
Single Use Only: Components are designed for single use as intended. | Implied by the statement "All components of the Spine-Tech Bone Harvested are intended for single use only." and the lack of mention of reprocessing or reuse protocols. |
2. Sample Sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The "test set" here refers to the actual devices or components tested during bench and quality assurance. This would typically involve a sample from manufacturing lots. The specific number of units tested is not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The "testing" described is internal bench testing and quality inspection. Therefore, the data would be internally generated by Spine-Tech, Inc. There is no mention of specific country of origin for this testing data, nor whether it was retrospective or prospective (as these terms usually apply to clinical data, not manufacturing verification).
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 to this type of device and submission. "Ground truth" and "experts to establish ground truth" are concepts relevant to diagnostic devices, particularly those involving image interpretation or clinical judgment. For a bone harvester, "ground truth" would relate to its ability to physically cut and collect bone, which is verified through engineering tests, not expert consensus on diagnoses.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
This information is Not Applicable. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are used to resolve disagreements among multiple experts interpreting data, typically in diagnostic studies. For mechanical device testing, the results are objectively measured (e.g., dimensions, cutting efficiency, material strength) against pre-defined specifications, not subject to subjective expert interpretation requiring adjudication.
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:
This information is Not Applicable. An MRMC study and discussions of AI assistance are relevant for AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices, not for a manual surgical instrument like a bone harvester.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
This information is Not Applicable. This concept applies to AI/ML software. The Spine-Tech Bone Harvester is a physical instrument requiring user operation.
7. The type of ground truth used:
The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be:
- Engineering Specifications: Successful completion of bench tests (e.g., material strength, cutting efficiency, dimensional accuracy) against pre-defined engineering and design specifications.
- Adherence to Standards: Compliance with relevant material and biocompatibility standards (e.g., ASTM standards mentioned).
- Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrated equivalence in material, design, and function to legally marketed predicate devices, implying that if the predicate is safe and effective, the new device, being equivalent, also is.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is Not Applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train AI/ML models. This device is a manual surgical instrument; there is no AI model involved.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is Not Applicable, for the same reason as point 8.
