    Intended Use

    The 4.5mm Facet Compression Device, which is included in the Disposable Posterior Lumbar Stabilization Procedure Kit, is indicated for spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, degeneration of the facets with instability and fracture, pseudoarthrosis or failed previous fusion.

    The intended use of the 4.5mm Facet Compression Device is to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. The screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint and into the pedicle. The 4.5mm Facet Compression Device is indicated for bilateral facet fixation, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels from L1 to S1. The intended use of the associated manual surgical instruments is to aid in the implantation of the 4.5mm Facet Compression Device.

    Device Description

    The 4.5mm Facet Compression Device(s) contained in the Disposable Posterior Lumbar Stabilization Procedure Kit is a double-helix screw with a compression-locking collar and self-retaining washer. It is available as 4.5mm diameter device and is obtainable in a 30-40mm length range. Disposable surgical instruments for use in implanting the device are also included in the kit. The kit is provided "STERILE"; sterilization is by gamma radiation. The re-usable Compression Tool is provided separately in a "NONSTERILE" condition; sterilization is by moist heat (steam autoclaye) and is performed on-site.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary regarding the Disposable Posterior Lumbar Stabilization Procedure Kit, focusing on the requested information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Triage Medical Disposable Posterior Lumbar Stabilization Procedure Kit (K062391) is a premarket notification for a Class II medical device. For such devices, the acceptance criteria are generally based on substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. This typically means demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

    The document does not explicitly state numerical "acceptance criteria" in terms of performance metrics (e.g., a specific strength value that must be met). Instead, the performance is evaluated in comparison to the predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implicit from 510(k) process)Reported Device Performance
    Material BiocompatibilityMeets established material standards for implants.Made of titanium alloy meeting ASTM F-136. Materials are identical to those in legally marketed orthopedic spinal fixation devices.
    Functional PerformanceDevice performs its intended stabilization function safely and effectively."Performance test results indicate that the device is safe and satisfies functional and performance requirements when used as indicated."
    Instrument PerformanceAssociated surgical instruments perform their intended function safely and effectively."The associated instruments have also met functional and performance requirements."
    Substantial EquivalenceDemonstrates equivalence in intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness to predicate device."Test results demonstrate that the devices contained in the Disposable Posterior Lumbar Stabilization Procedure Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and are capable of safely and effectively performing the stated intended use."

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The 510(k) summary does not provide details on specific sample sizes for any mechanical or performance testing. It generally states "performance test results indicate..." without quantifying the number of units tested.

    Regarding data provenance, the document does not specify the country of origin for the testing or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of a 510(k) for an orthopedic implant, the testing would typically involve in vitro mechanical testing and material characterization, rather than clinical data in the same way an AI/software device would generate.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

    This type of information is not applicable to this 510(k) document. The device is a physical medical implant (a facet screw and associated instruments). "Ground truth" established by experts, especially for a "test set" in the context of diagnostic or AI performance, is not a relevant concept for this type of device submission. The primary evaluation is based on engineering principles, material science, and mechanical testing, often performed by engineers and material scientists, not clinical experts establishing ground truth from patient data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable to this 510(k) document for the same reasons as point 3. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies, particularly for diagnostic devices where human expert disagreement needs resolution. This is not how the performance of a facet screw is assessed for a 510(k) submission.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done or reported in this 510(k) summary. MRMC studies are typically performed for diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret medical images, often assisted by AI. This device is a surgical implant; therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant to its evaluation.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    This is not applicable. The device is a physical surgical implant and instruments; it does not involve an algorithm or AI.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    As mentioned, "ground truth" in the context of expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data is not directly relevant for the performance evaluation of this specific device for its 510(k) submission. The "ground truth" for the device's characteristics and performance would be derived from:

    • Material specifications: Conformance to ASTM F-136.
    • Mechanical testing standards: (Implicitly) demonstrating strength, fatigue resistance, and other biomechanical properties relevant to spinal stabilization.
    • Predicate device's known performance: The BONE-LOK® 4.5mm Facet Screw, which serves as the benchmark for "substantial equivalence."

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This is not applicable. The device is a physical implant, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

    Safety and EffectivenessSafe when used as indicated; accurately perform stated intended use."Documentation provided, and test results demonstrate that the 3.8mm CS Facet Compression Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is capable of safely and accurately performing the stated intended use."

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    This information is not available in the provided text. The document refers to non-clinical mechanical and biocompatibility testing, not clinical studies or AI algorithm testing with a "test set" in the common sense for AI.

    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)

    This information is not available in the provided text. The device is a physical implant, and its evaluation relies on engineering tests and material standards, not expert-derived ground truth for AI performance.

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

    This information is not available in the provided text.

    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 available in the provided text. This device is not an AI-driven diagnostic or assistive tool, so an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable.

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

    This information is not available in the provided text. This device is a physical facet screw, not an algorithm.

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

    For the mechanical and biocompatibility performance, the "ground truth" would be established by engineering standards and test methodologies (e.g., ASTM standards for materials, recognized biomechanical testing protocols). This is not the typical "ground truth" concept as applied to AI/diagnostic devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not available in the provided text. There is no mention of an AI algorithm or a training set.

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

    Intended Use

    The 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw is indicated for spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, degeneration of the facets with instability and fracture, pseudoarthrosis or failed previous fusion.

    The intended use of the 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw is to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. The screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint and into the pedicle. The 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw is indicated for bilateral facet fixation, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels from L1 to Sl.

    Device Description

    The 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw is a double-helix screw with a compressionlocking collar and a self-retaining washer. It is available as a 30-40mm range device fabricated from either stainless steel, which meets the requirements of ASTM F-138, or Titanium 6Al-4V, which meets the requirements of ASTM F-136.

    AI/ML Overview

    This appears to be a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a facet screw), not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML device performance, such as acceptance criteria based on AI/ML metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, and standalone performance, are not applicable.

    The provided document describes a 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device for safety and effectiveness. The "acceptance criteria" in this context would generally refer to the successful demonstration of this substantial equivalence through non-clinical performance data (mechanical and biomechanical testing) and biocompatibility, rather than clinical performance metrics for an AI algorithm.

    However, I will extract information related to "acceptance criteria" and "study" as best as possible from the provided context, interpreting "acceptance criteria" as the requirements for substantial equivalence and "study" as the non-clinical performance evaluation.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied for Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (Non-Clinical)
    Material Composition and SafetyMade from surgical grade Stainless Steel (ASTM F-138) or Titanium 6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F-136). These materials are currently used in legally marketed orthopedic devices, demonstrating biocompatibility.
    Design and Construction Similarity"Similar in materials, design, construction... to the predicate devices."
    Mechanical Performance Requirements"Mechanical and biomechanical testing have established that the devices satisfies functional performance requirements and is safe when used as indicated."
    Functional Performance Requirements"Mechanical and biomechanical testing have established that the devices satisfies functional performance requirements and is safe when used as indicated."
    Intended Use Fulfillment"Literature, other documentation provided, and test results demonstrate that the 4.5mm BONE-LOK® Facet Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is capable of safely and accurately performing the stated intended use."

    Explanation of the "Study" that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

    The study proving the device meets the (implied) acceptance criteria is a non-clinical performance evaluation consisting of:

    • Mechanical Testing: To assess the physical properties and performance under stress.
    • Biomechanical Testing: To evaluate how the device performs within a biological system context (e.g., in terms of stability, load-bearing).
    • Biocompatibility Assessment: Based on the use of well-established, legally marketed surgical-grade materials (Stainless Steel and Titanium alloy) that meet ASTM standards (F-138 and F-136, respectively).

    These tests collectively demonstrate that the device satisfies functional performance requirements and is safe for its intended use, establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the BONE-LOK® MVP Cortical-Cancellous Compression Device, structured to address your specific points:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific CriteriaReported Device Performance
    BiocompatibilityMeet requirements of ASTM F-138 (stainless steel) or ASTM F-136 (titanium).Materials meet ASTM F-138 (stainless steel) or ASTM F-136 (titanium).
    Functional PerformanceSatisfy functional performance requirements when used as indicated.Performance test results indicate the device is safe and satisfies functional performance requirements.
    Substantial EquivalenceDemonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device.Test results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

    Explanation of "Acceptance Criteria" in this Context:

    It's important to note that the provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than a detailed list of specific numerical acceptance criteria for clinical or performance outcomes. The acceptance criteria here are implicitly:

    • The materials used are biocompatible and commonly accepted for orthopedic devices.
    • The mechanical performance is comparable to the predicate device.
    • The device is safe for its intended use.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The provided 510(k) summary does not contain information about a test set with human or animal subjects, nor does it mention sample sizes for such a set. The document refers to "Performance test results" which are likely referring to mechanical or bench testing.

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not mentioned, likely not applicable in the context of human/animal outcome data for this type of submission.
    • Data Provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective): Not mentioned.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    This information is not provided in the document. As there's no mention of a clinical test set requiring human interpretation or ground truth establishment in the traditional sense (e.g., for diagnostic accuracy), this section is not applicable.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided and is not applicable, as there's no mention of a test set requiring adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done or reported in this 510(k) summary. This type of study (often seen in diagnostic imaging for AI) is not relevant for a bone fixation device.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical bone fixation screw, not a software algorithm or AI tool. Therefore, a "standalone algorithm performance" study is not relevant. The "performance data" mentioned refers to mechanical testing.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    Based on the document, the "ground truth" for the device's performance is established through:

    • Compliance with Material Standards: Meeting ASTM F-138 (stainless steel) or ASTM F-136 (titanium) for biocompatibility. These are established industry standards for medical-grade materials.
    • Mechanical Performance Bench Testing: The statement "Performance test results indicate that the device is safe and satisfies functional performance requirements" implies benchtop mechanical testing (e.g., strength, compression, fatigue) against established engineering specifications or comparison to the predicate device's known performance.
    • Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device: The ultimate "truth" for 510(k) clearance is demonstrating that the modified device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI model or software algorithm that requires a training set of data.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the BONE-LOK™ HP Washer, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

    This medical device submission (K040250) is for a mechanical washer, not a software or AI-powered device. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study components you'd expect for an AI/software device (like sample size for test sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) are not applicable to this submission.

    Study Details (as applicable to this type of device)

    1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

      • Not applicable in the sense of a test set for a software/AI device. The "testing" here refers to the inherent properties of the material and the established history of use for this type of device and material. No specific "test set" of cases or data is mentioned.
    2. 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. There is no "ground truth" establishment in the context of image interpretation or diagnostic accuracy for this mechanical washer. The "truth" is based on material specifications and mechanical function.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

      • Not applicable. No adjudication method is relevant for this type of device submission.
    4. 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 washer, not an AI or software device.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

      • Not applicable. This is a mechanical washer, not an algorithm.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

      • Not applicable in the traditional sense. The "ground truth" for this device's safety and effectiveness is derived from:
        • Material specifications: ASTM-136 for Titanium 6Al-4V ELI.
        • Accepted engineering principles: For its function as a washer.
        • Established clinical use: Of similar devices and the material itself for biocompatibility.
    7. The sample size for the training set

      • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI model.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established

      • Not applicable.

    Summary of the "Study" for the BONE-LOK™ HP Washer:

    The core of the submission's "performance data" and "biocompatibility" sections relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and leveraging well-established material properties and clinical history.

    The document explicitly states:

    • "Because the washer is fabricated from a material with specified mechanical requirements, is of limited functionality, and washers have been previously utilized in this capacity, additional testing is not required." (Performance Data)
    • "Because its inertness and biocompatibility has already been established, additional testing is not required." (Biocompatibility)

    This means the "study" demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria is primarily a literature review and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices and established material standards, rather than de novo experimental studies with test sets, expert ground truth, or statistical analysis typical for AI/software. The substantial equivalence argument is the primary "proof" used here.
