This document [K191788](https://510k.innolitics.com/search/K191788) is a 510(k) premarket notification for Medtronic Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Systems (specifically, the CAPSTONE™ Spinal System, CLYDESDALE PTC™ Spinal System, CRESCENT™ Spinal System, CRESCENT™ Spinal System Titanium, and DIVERGENCE-L™ Anterior/Oblique Lumbar Fusion System).

The submission is primarily focused on an MRI Update for these existing devices, meaning the purpose is to provide data demonstrating their safety and compatibility within the Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment. This is a common type of submission for established medical devices when new safety information or a change in labeling regarding MR compatibility needs to be supported.

Based on the provided text, there is no AI/ML component to this specific submission. The "device" in question refers to intervertebral body fusion implants, which are passive mechanical implants, not software algorithms or AI-driven systems. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device is not applicable to this document.

Here's a breakdown based on the information provided, highlighting the absence of AI/ML-specific details:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

• ASTM F2052 (measurement of magnetically induced displacement force)
• ASTM F2213 (measurement of magnetically induced torque)
• ASTM F2119 (evaluation of MR image artifacts)
• ASTM F2182 (measurement of radio frequency induced heating)

The Medtronic Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Systems have been labeled in accordance with ASTM F2503 "Standard Practice for Marking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance Environment." |
| No significant adverse interactions, displacement, torque, heating, or artifacts beyond specified limits during MRI. | (Implicitly met as the conclusion states the devices are "as safe and effective" as predicates and are labeled for MR safety.) Specific quantitative performance data from these tests (e.g., exact displacement forces, temperature increases, artifact sizes) are not provided in this summary document, but would have been included in the full submission. |

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 (N/A) for an AI/ML test set.
• The performance data provided is for MR safety testing of physical implants, not an AI/ML algorithm. The "test set" would consist of the physical devices themselves and the materials they are made from, subjected to various MR field conditions in a lab environment.
• Data provenance is typically from controlled laboratory testing environments, not patient data in the context of AI/ML.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

• Not Applicable (N/A). This is a question relevant to AI/ML model evaluation involving human expert interpretation. For physical device MR safety testing, ground truth is established by physical measurements and compliance with ASTM standards, not expert consensus on interpretations.

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

• Not Applicable (N/A). Adjudication methods are for human interpretation of data, often in AI/ML performance studies. MR safety testing involves physical measurements and engineering evaluations.

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 (N/A). There is no AI/ML component or human-in-the-loop scenario described in this submission. This is a K-number for physical intervertebral body fusion devices and their MR compatibility, not an AI/ML software.

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

• Not Applicable (N/A). This document concerns physical intervertebral body fusion implants, not a standalone AI/ML algorithm.

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

• Not Applicable (N/A) in the context of AI/ML.
• For the MR safety testing, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is defined by the ASTM test methods and their specified thresholds/parameters. For example, a certain level of magnetically induced displacement is acceptable, and exceeding that is considered unsafe.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not Applicable (N/A). There is no AI/ML algorithm in this submission, and therefore no training set.

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

• Not Applicable (N/A). There is no AI/ML algorithm or training set discussed in this document.

This document describes Medtronic Sofamor Danek's intervertebral body fusion spinal systems and a Special 510(k) submission to update the indications for use. The core of this request is to support the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate in these devices.

Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and the study:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

The document does not specify a numerical sample size for a "test set" in the context of device performance testing. It states: "The subject application provides published clinical outcomes to support the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate." This implies a review of existing literature rather than a new, dedicated clinical study conducted by Medtronic for this 510(k) submission.

• Sample Size (Test Set): Not explicitly stated as a separate "test set" was not created for this submission. The support comes from "published clinical outcomes."
• Data Provenance: The data provenance is described as "published clinical outcomes." No specific country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective is mentioned in this summary.

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

Not applicable. As noted above, there was no separate "test set" created by Medtronic for this submission. The clinical evidence relies on published literature regarding the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate. The expertise for establishing the ground truth would therefore reside within the authors and peer-review process of those published studies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as there was no new, specific test set created by Medtronic for this 510(k) where expert adjudication would be required.

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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "No performance testing was required or performed, as this modification for this Special 510(k) relates only to the indications for use." The change is based on a review of published clinical outcomes for the bone graft material, not a comparison of human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

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

Not applicable. This device is a medical implant (intervertebral body fusion system) and not an AI algorithm. Therefore, "standalone algorithm performance" is not relevant to this submission.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for concluding the safety and effectiveness of the expanded indication (use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate) is based on published clinical outcomes. This implies that peer-reviewed literature and clinical evidence from human patients using this type of bone graft material formed the basis for the regulatory decision.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The submission focuses on an expanded indication for an existing, cleared medical device based on clinical evidence for a specific bone graft material.

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

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

I am sorry, but based on the provided document, there is no information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for an intervertebral body fusion device, and it primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.

The key points from the document regarding "testing" are:

• Bacterial Endotoxin Test (LAL test): This was performed on worst-case subject implants to verify they meet the 20 endotoxin units (EU)/device pyrogen limit specification, as outlined in ANSI/AAMI ST72 and USP . This is a non-clinical test related to sterility and safety, not a performance study of the device's clinical efficacy.
• Retrospective Clinical Data: The document mentions published retrospective clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices cleared in K151128 (CAPSTONE® and CLYDESDALE® Spinal System). This data demonstrated that the use of allogenic bone graft (with or without autogenous bone graft) is commonly used and poses no new risks. However, this is not a study specifically assessing the performance or acceptance criteria of the current devices (ELEVATE™, CAPSTONE PTC™, CRESCENT™, CRESCENT™ Titanium) against specific metrics. Instead, it supports the expansion of indications for use to include allogenic bone graft as an option, based on existing clinical practice and prior clearances.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or details about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria, an MRMC study, standalone algorithm performance, or ground truth establishment relevant to clinical performance, as this information is not present in the provided text.

The CRESCENT™ Spinal System is indicated for interbody fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolishtesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

The CRESCENT™ Spinal System consists of PEEK cages of various widths and heights which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The implants may be implanted via a posterior, transforaminal or lateral approach and the procedure may be open or minimally invasive. The devices are manufactured from medical grade PEEK-Optima LT1 (polyetheretherketone) and contains tantalum markers. These devices also contain Tantalum markers used for imaging purposes.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CRESCENT™ Spinal System, specifically for additional sizes of implants and instruments. As such, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices rather than providing a detailed study that establishes specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way a novel device might.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria experiments, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment is not available in this document because the submission's goal is to show similarity to existing approved devices, not to establish new performance benchmarks through de novo clinical trials.

Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the available information:

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

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results in a table format. The performance data presented are primarily focused on demonstrating that the new sizes do not negatively impact safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.

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: Not explicitly stated for mechanical or endotoxin testing. For biocompatibility, reliance on "long clinical history" suggests a large, accumulated dataset from prior usage of the materials, but no specific number of devices or patients is provided for this submission. The mechanical testing refers to an "engineering rationale," which typically involves bench testing, not patient data in the context of a 510(k) for size additions.
• Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data. The tests (mechanical, endotoxin) are likely conducted in a controlled lab environment. The "long clinical history" of materials implies data collected globally over time for various similar devices. The study type is for substantial equivalence for new sizes/instruments, not a de novo clinical study.

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. This type of information is typically for diagnostic AI algorithms or clinical trials with subjective endpoints. This submission is for an intervertebral body fusion device (implant) and focuses on material science and mechanical performance benchmarks against existing predicates, not human expert interpretation of data.

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

Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical trials or studies involving expert review of outcomes or images. The performance data presented here are from engineering and laboratory tests.

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. MRMC studies are relevant for diagnostic devices, particularly those involving human interpretation of medical images, potentially assisted by AI. This document is for a spinal implant.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

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

• Mechanical Testing: Ground truth is against established engineering standards (ASTM F2077) and the performance of the predicate devices.
• Biocompatibility: Ground truth is the historical safety and effectiveness of the existing materials (PEEK-Optima LT1, Tantalum, stainless steel).
• Non-Pyrogenicity: Ground truth is established laboratory limits for endotoxins (e.g., 20 EU/device) as defined by standards like ANSI/AAMI ST72 and USP .

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The "training" in this context refers to the development and testing of the engineering design of the implant.

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

Not applicable. As above, there is no "training set." The understanding of material properties and mechanical performance would have been established through extensive prior research, testing, and clinical use of similar devices over many years.

Ask a specific question about this device

The CRESCENT® Spinal System is indicated for interbody fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation which has : been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

The subject CRESCENT® Spinal System consists of a variety of hollow intervertebral body spacers featuring a bullet-nosed, anatomically shaped design with axial voids designed to hold bone graft material. The implants may be implanted via a posterior, transforaminal or lateral approach and the procedure may be open or minimally invasive. The subject devices are designed with diamond V teeth across both superior and inferior surfaces to allow the implant to grip the superior and inferior end plates, thus allowing expulsion resistance. The devices range from 7mm to 15mm in height and 36mm in length. The devices are manufactured from medical grade PEEK-Optima LTI (polyetheretherketone). These devices also contain Tantalum markers used for imaging purposes.

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CRESCENT® Spinal System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device rather than presenting new clinical study data with acceptance criteria and a detailed study proving performance. Therefore, many of the requested data points (like sample size for test/training sets, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and detailed ground truth establishment) are not typically included in such a submission.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the "acceptance criteria" and the "study" that supports the substantial equivalence claim.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For a 510(k) submission seeking clearance for additional sizes of an existing device, the "acceptance criteria" revolve around demonstrating that the new size does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns and performs equivalently to the already cleared predicate.

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

• Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a 510(k) for an incremental change like a new size. There isn't a "test set" of patients or images in a clinical efficacy study sense. The "test" here refers to non-clinical, engineering testing and comparison to predicate devices.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" comes from engineering analysis and comparison to existing regulatory clearances.

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

• Not applicable. Ground truth for clinical performance is not established for this type of submission. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is based on regulatory standards and comparison to previously cleared devices, evaluated by FDA reviewers.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication was used.

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/CAD device. It is a spinal implant.

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

• Not applicable. This is not an AI/CAD device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

• The "ground truth" in this context is the established safety and effectiveness profile of the predicate devices, as determined by previous FDA clearances. The current submission's "truth" is that the new device variant (14.5mm wide PEEK implant) is equivalent to these predicates and does not introduce new risks. This is supported by:
  • Engineering rationale and risk analysis: Demonstrating that the new size does not represent a "worst-case" scenario based on biomechanical principles and ASTM standards.
  • Material and design comparison: Verifying identical material and similar design features to the predicate devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission for a spinal implant.

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

• Not applicable.

Summary of the "Study" Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The "study" to prove the device met acceptance criteria was a non-clinical engineering assessment and comparative analysis against legally marketed predicate devices.

• Objective: To demonstrate that the addition of a 14.5mm wide PEEK implant to the CRESCENT® Spinal System is substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices and does not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns.
• Methodology:
  1. Identification of Predicates: The subject device was compared to CRESCENT™ Spinal System (K094025) and CRESCENT® Spinal System Titanium (K110543).
  2. Material Comparison: Verification that the material (PEEK-Optima LTI) is identical to a PEEK predicate (K094025).
  3. Design Comparison: Analysis of design features of the new 14.5mm wide implant against existing cleared sizes.
  4. Mechanical Analysis (Worst-Case Assessment): According to the document, ASTM F2077 "Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices" defines a worst-case device. Medtronic argued that since the existing cleared PEEK implants had widths of 11mm, 12mm, and 12.5mm, and the 14.5mm wide Titanium implants were already cleared, the new 14.5mm wide PEEK implant does not introduce a new "worst-case scenario" regarding mechanical performance (as its footprint is not reducing).
  5. Engineering Rationale and Risk Analysis: A formal engineering justification and risk assessment were completed to support the claim that the new size does not present new risks.
• Conclusion: Based on the engineering rationale, risk analysis, and supporting documentation, Medtronic concluded that the subject system demonstrates substantial equivalence to the listed predicate devices. The FDA concurred, granting clearance.
