    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage. It informs the manufacturer that their device has been found substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The document does not describe the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way a clinical performance study would for an AI/ML device.

    Instead, this 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is a different regulatory pathway than proving clinical performance against specific metrics.

    Here's a breakdown of why the requested information about acceptance criteria and a study proving performance isn't fully applicable or available in this type of document, but how some related information can be inferred:

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

    • Acceptance Criteria: For a 510(k) submission like this, the "acceptance criteria" are typically related to demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a predicate device. This is often achieved through comparison of technological characteristics and performance data (bench testing, not clinical performance for this type of device). Specific numerical acceptance criteria for a "device performance" in terms of clinical accuracy (like sensitivity/specificity) are not typically defined or presented in a 510(k) for an intervertebral body fusion device.
    • Reported Device Performance: The document states: "Design verification testing was conducted to assess the device modification. The non-clinical test results demonstrate that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate." This implies that the performance in non-clinical (bench) tests met the criteria for substantial equivalence to the predicate, likely in mechanical properties, material properties, and functionality of the expansion mechanism. Specific numerical results are not provided in this summary.

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

    • This is a medical implant (intervertebral fusion device), not an AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic tool. Therefore, there isn't a "test set" of patient data in the typical sense for evaluating algorithm performance.
    • The testing mentioned ("Design verification testing") refers to bench testing (e.g., mechanical strength, material compatibility, functionality). The sample sizes for these types of tests would be determined by engineering and statistical requirements for mechanical testing, not by patient data.
    • Data provenance for such tests would be related to the lab where the tests were conducted, not patient demographics or origin.

    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. There is no "ground truth" to be established by medical experts for the performance of this device in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "performance" being evaluated is the physical and mechanical characteristics of the implant and its accessories.

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

    • Not applicable, as there is no expert review or adjudication of a test set of clinical data.

    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 not an AI/ML device, and therefore, no MRMC study would be conducted.

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

    • Not applicable, as this is not an algorithm or AI/ML device.

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

    • Not applicable in the context of clinical "ground truth." The "truth" for this device's performance would be against engineering specifications, material standards (ASTM F136-08, ASTM F138-08), and functional requirements tested through design verification.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."

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

    • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" or a ground truth established in this context.

    In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for an intervertebral body fusion device. It demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device primarily through non-clinical (bench) testing of its physical properties and functionality. This type of submission does not typically involve the kinds of clinical performance studies, datasets, expert reviews, or AI/ML specific evaluations that your questions are designed to uncover.

    Additionally, the AccuLIF TL and PL Cages can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis.

    The AccuLIF TL and PL Cages are always to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation. Additionally, the AccuLIF TL and PL Cages are to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion.

    Device Description

    The AccuLIF TL and PL Cage device is an expandable interbody fusion cage manufactured from implant grade Titanium alloy (TI6A14V ELI) as per ASTM F136-08, Stainless Steel (316 LVM) as per ASTM F138– 08, and Silicone Rubber (MED-4870). As with the predicate expandable AccuLIF TL and PL Cage devices, the device is inserted in unexpanded state with a delivery handle and expanded in-situ to the required height via 2 hydraulic cylinder and piston arrangements using a hydraulic system comprising disposable flexible expansion tubing set and inflation syringe. The device automatically locks at 1mm increments as it expands. The AccuLIF TL and PL Cage come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and lordotic angles to accommodate patient anatomy.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Stryker AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage, specifically for modifications made to the AccuLIF Pressure Syringe. It's a regulatory document demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a study proving the device meets performance acceptance criteria via clinical outcomes or algorithm performance.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies. These elements are typically found in clinical study reports or performance validation reports for devices that rely on diagnostic accuracy or AI performance, which this submission does not cover.

    The document states that "Design verification testing was conducted to assess the device modification. The non-clinical test results demonstrate that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate." This refers to engineering and bench testing to ensure the modified syringe still functions as intended and does not negatively impact the implant's performance, maintaining its substantial equivalence to the previously cleared predicate device.

    Here's what I can extract from the provided text based on the nature of this 510(k) submission:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    There is no table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance in the sense of clinical outcomes, accuracy metrics, or algorithm performance. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a modified accessory (the pressure syringe) to a predicate device based on non-clinical (design verification) testing.

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

    • Test Set (for the syringe modification): Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" for clinical evaluation. The document mentions "Design verification testing," which implies engineering tests to validate the syringe's function. The sample size for these engineering tests is not provided.
    • Data Provenance: The nature of the submission (510(k) for an accessory modification) suggests that data would primarily be from internal engineering and lab testing conducted by Stryker Corporation. There is no mention of country of origin for clinical data, as no clinical study demonstrating device performance is presented. The testing is non-clinical.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

    Not applicable. For a 510(k) submission concerning an accessory modification and relying on non-clinical design verification, expert consensus for ground truth on clinical outcomes or image interpretations is not typically required or mentioned.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for clinical studies or studies involving expert review of data (e.g., image interpretation), which this document does not describe.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

    No. This document does not mention an MRMC study. MRMC studies are used to assess the impact of a diagnostic device or AI on human reader performance, which is not the subject of this 510(k).

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was done:

    No. This device is an intervertebral body fusion cage and its accessory (a pressure syringe), not an algorithm or AI-based device. Hence, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    Not applicable in the context of clinical "ground truth" (e.g., pathology, outcomes data). The "truth" for this submission revolves around the functional equivalence of the modified pressure syringe to its predicate, established through engineering design verification tests.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

    Not applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device, there is no training set or ground truth in that context.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Stryker AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage, an intervertebral body fusion device. This type of regulatory document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than presenting a detailed clinical study demonstrating device performance against specific acceptance criteria.

    Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, specifically:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    • Sample sizes used for test and training sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods for studies of the device itself.
    • Information on MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone algorithm performance.

    Instead, the document highlights that:

    • The device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices (Stryker Spine, ACCULIF® TL and PL Cage K143163, and Medtronic, Capstone Spinal System, K123027) based on material, design, mechanical performance, and indications.
    • The primary change in this submission is the expansion of indications to include degenerative scoliosis.
    • Published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the Stryker Spine AccuLIF TL and PL devices was provided in support of this application. This is the closest the document comes to mentioning performance data. It states that "The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the use of the lumbar interbody fusion procedures to treat patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis above does not adversely affect performance of the system and does not represent a new worst case scenario."
    • No changes were made to the existing devices, and therefore no additional implant testing was required or performed for this specific 510(k) submission.

    In summary, the provided text describes a regulatory submission establishing substantial equivalence, not a study designed to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria with detailed performance metrics.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for several intervertebral body fusion devices from Stryker Corporation. The core purpose of this submission is to expand the indications for use of these devices to include the use of allogenic bone graft (comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft) as an adjunct to fusion, in addition to the previously cleared autograft.

    The document does not describe a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria related to a novel AI/ML algorithm or its performance. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for an expanded indication of use, specifically concerning the type of bone graft.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/ML device studies will not be applicable. I will address the relevant information provided in the document.

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

    Since this is not an AI/ML device performance study, there are no specific numerical acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in the way one would see for an AI/ML diagnostic or predictive tool. The "performance" assessment here is conceptual, centered on demonstrating that the change in bone graft type does not adversely affect safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence for Expanded Indication)Reported Device Performance (Summary of Evidence)
    Expanded indication for allogenic bone graft does not adversely affect device performance.Published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the Stryker Spine devices was provided. This clinical data demonstrated that the use of allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) does not adversely affect performance of the system and does not represent a new worst-case scenario. The document explicitly states: "No changes were made to the existing devices, nor were any new components added to the system. Therefore, no additional testing was required or performed." The conclusion is that the devices with the broadened indications are substantially equivalent to the predicate systems.
    The device maintains its safety and effectiveness with the expanded indication.Same as above. The safety and effectiveness are established through substantial equivalence to predicate devices and the reasoning that the change in bone graft type, supported by similar clinical data for other devices, does not introduce new risks or alter existing performance.

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

    Not applicable. No new test set for device performance was generated or utilized for this submission as "no additional testing was required or performed." The submission relies on "published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices." The provenance of this published data is not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).


    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. No new test set requiring expert ground truth establishment was conducted for this submission. The "ground truth" for the expanded indication is based on existing "published clinical data" for similar devices, which would have implicitly relied on clinical diagnoses and outcome assessments by medical professionals at the time of publication.


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

    Not applicable. No new test set requiring adjudication was conducted.


    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 submission is for an intervertebral body fusion device (a physical implant), not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, no MRMC study, AI assistance, or effect size calculation for human readers is relevant.


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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.


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

    The "ground truth" in this context refers to the clinical evidence supporting the use of allogenic bone graft in lumbar interbody fusion devices. This is based on published clinical outcomes data from studies of similar lumbar interbody fusion devices, demonstrating that the use of allogenic bone graft did not adversely affect performance.


    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.


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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the Stryker Spine AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage, an expandable interbody fusion cage. The submission focuses on modifications to the AccuLIF Pressure Syringe, an accessory to the cage, rather than the cage itself. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study details provided are specific to the performance of this accessory.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    AccuLIF Pressure Syringe Functionality: Maintain intended function after simulated cleaning, sterilization, and insertion/withdrawal impact.Met. The AccuLIF Pressure Syringe was tested after 20 cycles of simulated cleaning, sterilization, and insertion/withdrawal impact. No adverse effects on intended function were observed.
    Instrument and O-ring Integrity: Absence of damage to the instrument and o-rings after simulated use cycles.Met. The instrument and o-rings were observed for damage after 20 simulated cleaning, sterilization, and use cycles. No signs of deterioration or malfunction were reported.
    Pressure Delivery: Ensure appropriate pressure delivery to the AccuLIF TL or PL Cage.Met. The pressure delivered by the instrument was examined and confirmed to ensure appropriate pressure continues to be delivered to the AccuLIF TL or PL Cage.
    Overall Device Performance: Modified accessory does not adversely impact device performance compared to the predicate device.Met. "The non-clinical test results demonstrate that any minor differences do not impact device performance as compared to the predicate device." "The modified accessory to the AccuLIF TL and PL Cage has identical indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate. The non-clinical test results demonstrate that any minor differences do not impact device performance as compared to the predicate."

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

    The study described is a non-clinical design verification test.

    • Test Set Sample Size: The document mentions testing "after 20 cycles" of simulated cleaning, sterilization, and insertion/withdrawal impact. This implies a test regimen with 20 repetitions for each tested parameter, likely on one or a few sample units of the modified AccuLIF Pressure Syringe. The exact number of individual syringes tested is not explicitly stated beyond the "20 cycles" of evaluation.
    • Data Provenance: The data is from non-clinical design verification testing, performed by the manufacturer, Stryker Spine. There is no mention of country of origin for the data (as it's laboratory/bench testing) or whether it's retrospective or prospective (as it's not a clinical study).

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

    This information is not applicable as the study is a non-clinical design verification of an accessory (the syringe), not a clinical evaluation of the AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage. The ground truth for this type of test is established by engineering specifications and objective measurements, not expert consensus.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. Adjudication methods are typically associated with clinical studies where subjective assessments exist.

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

    This information is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the performance of diagnostic or imaging devices where human readers interpret results. This submission pertains to a surgical implant accessory.

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

    This information is not applicable. The device (AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage and its pressure syringe) is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for this design verification study is based on engineering specifications and objective measurements. This includes:

    • Observational assessment of damage to the instrument and o-rings.
    • Measurement of pressure delivered by the instrument.
    • Verification against design input requirements.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable. There is no training set mentioned or implied as this is a device performance test, not a machine learning model.

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

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

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the CoAlign Innovations AccuLIF® TL and PL Cage, an expandable interbody fusion cage. It details the device's description, indications for use, and a summary of testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, the document does NOT contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner requested by your prompt (e.g., performance metrics, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement).

    The submission focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to legally marketed predicate devices, which is a common pathway for 510(k) clearance. This typically involves demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics to a predicate device, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and a study demonstrating device performance against those criteria, as this information is not present in the provided 510(k) summary.

    The document states that the following non-clinical tests were conducted to support the claim of substantial equivalence:

    • Dynamic compression testing, conducted in accordance with ASTM F2077-03
    • Dynamic shear testing, conducted in accordance with ASTM F2077-03
    • Static compression testing, conducted in accordance with ASTM F2077-03
    • Static shear testing, conducted in accordance with -ASTM F2077-03
    • Static Subsidence testing, conducted in accordance with -ASTM F2267-04
    • Static Expulsion testing, conducted in accordance with -ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02
    • Surgical technique validation, conducted in the same manner as the predicate surgical technique validation.

    The "Conclusions" section states: "The non-clinical test results demonstrate that any minor differences do not impact device performance as compared to the predicates." This is a general statement about meeting the requirements for substantial equivalence, not a detailed report of reaching specific acceptance criteria tied to performance metrics.
