The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only.
The rod and hook components are intended for use in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine. The pedicle screws are limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The pedicle screws are not intended to be placed in or treat conditions involving the cervical spine.
The Caspian OCT/miniMesa/miniDenali Spinal System can also be linked to the Range Spinal System using the 3.5mm/5.5mm rod connectors or transitional rods.
The Caspian Spinal System is a top-loading, multiple component, posterior (cervical-thoracic) spinal fixation system which consists of pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, hooks, and rod connectors. Additional hooks are being added to the system.
Materials: The devices are manufactured from Ti6A14V Eli and Cobalt Chrome per ASTM and ISO standards.
Function: The system functions as an adjunct to fusion to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments of the cervical and thoracic (TI-T3) spine.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Caspian OCT Spinal System, which is a medical device. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device for safety and effectiveness, primarily through comparison of technological characteristics and intended use, rather than through extensive new clinical studies with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics.
Therefore, the document does not contain the requested information regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, and ground truth establishment details for a study proving acceptance criteria.
- Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication methods.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study results.
- Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
- Specific types of ground truth used (beyond general clinical and radiographic studies for indications).
- Training set sample size and ground truth establishment for a training set.
Explanation:
The 510(k) summary explicitly states its purpose is to compare the device to predicate devices. It emphasizes:
- "The subject components were compared to the existing components of the K2M Caspian OCT Spinal System were determined not to represent worst case for the system for mechanical testing.." (Page 1, [0])
- "The design features and sizing of the subject devices were also compared to predicate devices... and found to be substantially the same as these systems. It is manufactured from the same materials and is indicated for the same intended uses as these systems." (Page 2, [1])
- "There are no significant differences between the subject implants and other devices currently being marketed. They are substantially equivalent to these other devices in design, function, material and intended use." (Page 2, [1])
The study referenced is mechanical testing to ensure the new components do not represent a "worst case" for the system, implying a focus on engineering specifications rather than clinical performance metrics typically associated with AI/software device studies. The document does not provide details of this mechanical testing, such as specific acceptance criteria or performance results.
In essence, for this type of medical device submission (spinal fixation system), the "proof" of meeting acceptance criteria is the demonstration of substantial equivalence to already marketed devices, supported by mechanical testing ensuring safety and performance characteristics are maintained, rather than a clinical study evaluating specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria for, for example, diagnostic accuracy or treatment efficacy in the way an AI diagnostic tool would.

Description of the Acceptance Criteria and Study
The Caspian Spinal System seeks clearance through the 510(k) pathway by demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" in this context are not performance metrics like accuracy or sensitivity, but rather the demonstration that the new device is as safe and effective as existing, legally marketed devices.
The "study" that proves the device meets "acceptance criteria" is the detailed comparison of its technological characteristics, materials, and intended use against those of the identified predicate devices. The conclusion of this comparative analysis is that the Caspian Spinal System is "substantially equivalent" to the predicates.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not Applicable. This is a comparison to predicate physical devices, not a performance study on a test dataset.
- Data Provenance: 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. "Ground truth" in the context of diagnostic or AI performance is not relevant for this type of 510(k) submission for a spinal implant system. The "ground truth" here is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable.
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/software device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this submission is implicitly the established safety and effectiveness track record of the predicate devices based on their prior regulatory clearance and market experience.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable.
