This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for spinal systems (EXPEDIUM Spine System, VIPER and VIPER 2 Systems) and primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on technological characteristics, materials, and intended use. It does not contain information about the performance or acceptance criteria of a new device or software algorithm, nor does it describe a study proving such a device meets acceptance criteria.
The document discusses:
- Device Description: Spinal systems consisting of metallic implants (rods, screws, connectors) intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments.
- Indications for Use: Treatment of chronic instabilities, deformities, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in pediatric patients.
- Materials: Commercially pure titanium, titanium alloy, stainless steel, cobalt-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy.
- Performance Data: References only mechanical testing (ASTM F1717) and optical/visual analysis for corrosion compatibility of materials, stating that these materials are compatible even in aggressive environments for the duration expected for spinal fusion.
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, study design (sample size, data provenance, expert review, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance), or ground truth establishment for an AI/software device.
The document's "Performance Data" section specifically addresses the compatibility of the materials used in the predicate and subject devices, not the performance of a digital health or AI/ML-enabled device. It confirms material compatibility through mechanical testing and corrosion analysis, which is typical for implantable medical devices, but not for software or AI performance related to diagnostic or evaluative tasks.

These Systems are intended for the following:
Hooks, Plate/Rods, Plates, Rods and Screws
When intended to provide stabilization as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical junction (occipitocervical junction (occiput-T3), the plate/rod, plates, rod, hook and screw (3.2 mm cortex) components of the Synthes CerviFix, Axon, OC Fusion and Synapse Systems are indicated for skeletally mature patients using allograft for the following: · Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies)
- · Spondylolisthesis
- · Spinal stenosis
- Fracture/dislocation
- Atlantoaxial fracture with instability
- Occipitocervical dislocation
- · Revision of previous cervical spine surgery
- Tumor
When used to treat these cervical and occipitocervical conditions, screws are limited to occipital fixation only.
Hooks and Rods
The rod and hook components are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/ dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.
Rods, Clamps, Screws, Nuts, Variable Axis Screws, Locking Screws and Transverse Bars
The rods, clamps, screws, nuts, variable axis screws and transverse bars are intended to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3).
The use of these screws (3.5 mm, 4.0 mm cancellous and 3.5 mm and 4.2 mm cortex) is limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. They are not intended to be placed in or treat conditions involving the cervical spine.
The Synthes CerviFix, Axon, and Synapse Systems can also be linked to the Synthes Universal Spinal System using the 3.5 mm/6.0 mm and 4.0 mm/6.0 mm parallel connectors from that system and via the CerviFix tapered rods using lamina hooks, transverse process hooks, pedicle hooks, 4.2 mm screws, and the 5.0 mm/6.0 mm parallel connector.
The Synthes System can be linked to the DePuy EXPEDIUM 5.5 Titanium Spine System using the 3.5 mm/5.5 mm and 4.0 mm/5.5 mm titanium tapered rods.
Warning: This device is not intended for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic (T4-T12) or lumbar spine.
The tapered rods are intended to create a single construct by linking system components that receive different rod diameters. These rods are manufactured from titaniumaluminum-niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb (TAN)). These rods taper from a diameter of 3.5 mm or 4.0 mm to a diameter of 5.5 mm and are both 500 mm in length.
The Synthes Synapse System is a hook, rod and pedicle screw spinal system intended to provide posterior stabilization of the upper spine (C1-T3) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. This system consists of multiple components manufactured from either titanium aluminum niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb (TAN)) or commercially pure grade 4 Titanium and include rods (straight, tapered and curved), plate/rods, hooks, clamps, screws, nuts, variable axis screws, locking screws, transconnector clamps, transverse bars, parallel connectors and variable axis/top loading transconnectors. These system components are implanted using Class I general surgical instruments. A complete occipital-cervical-thoracic construct can be created by using components from the previously cleared Synthes CerviFix System, Synthes Axon System, and Synthes OC Fusion System. When combined with the Synthes Universal Spinal System (including Matrix) using parallel connectors or tapered rods, constructs can extend from the occiput to the lower spine.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the DePuy Synthes Spine's Synapse System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device for regulatory clearance, rather than conducting a de novo study with acceptance criteria and a specific performance study as one might see for novel AI/ML devices or completely new technologies.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes, and expert adjudication as they would apply to an AI/ML algorithm or a new diagnostic device are not present in this document.
Here's an analysis of what can be extracted and what information is missing based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly defined in terms of specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This means the "acceptance criteria" are generally that the device performs as well as the predicate device and has similar technological characteristics and intended use.
- Reported Device Performance: No specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., success rates, failure rates, accuracy) are reported for the Synapse System in this document. The "performance" assessment is based on the lack of change from the predicate device and engineering rationale.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable/not provided. This document does not describe a clinical study with a "test set" in the context of evaluating a diagnostic or AI/ML algorithm.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable/not provided.
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/not provided. Ground truth establishment by experts for a test set is not described as this is not a study evaluating human reader or algorithm performance on a test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable/not provided. No test set adjudication method is described.
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
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This document pertains to a spinal fixation system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
- Effect Size of AI: Not applicable, as no AI component or human reader study is described.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone Performance: No, a standalone performance study as described (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was not done. This document is not about an algorithm or AI device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The concept of "ground truth" as it would apply to a diagnostic or AI algorithm study is not applicable here. The document relies on previous testing and validation of the predicate devices and engineering rationale.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable/not provided. There is no mention of a "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable/not provided.
Summary of Device and Regulatory Basis:
This 510(k) submission for the Synapse System (incorporating tapered rods) is a request for clearance based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Synthes Synapse System, DePuy EXPEDIUM Spine System, and Synthes Matrix Spine System). The core argument for equivalence is:
- Technological Characteristics: The design, material (titanium alloy), and established performance of the tapered rods and other Synapse System components remain unchanged from their previously cleared predicate versions.
- Intended Use: The intended use of the devices also remains unchanged from their predicate versions (as an adjunct to fusion for various spinal conditions in skeletally mature patients, primarily C1-T3).
- Performance Data: Instead of new performance testing, an engineering rationale is provided because the designs and technological characteristics are unchanged and have been "extensively tested in their predicate submissions." The specific modification being addressed is the ability of the Synapse System to link with the DePuy EXPEDIUM 5.5 Titanium Spine System using titanium tapered rods.
In essence, this document is a regulatory filing asserting that because the device is fundamentally the same as previously cleared devices, new comprehensive performance studies (as would be required for a novel device or AI/ML product) are not necessary.

The MOSS® MIAMI Spine Systems is also a hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation system of the noncervical spine indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture and/or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis), tumor, and previous failed fusion (pseudarthrosis).
The MOSS® MIAM! Spine Systems when used as anterior thoracic/lumbar screw fixation systems, is indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture and/or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis), tumor, and previous failed fusion (pseudarthrosis).
The EXPEDIUM® Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.
The EXPEDIUM® Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.
The Moss® Miami and Expedium® Spine Systems consists of rods, hooks, pedicle screws, and other components. A subset of the Moss Miami and Expedium systems, which is the basis of this submission, includes titanium pedicle screws and rods that are now sterilized via gamma radiation. Previously, these devices were commercialized as clean, but non-sterile, and the end-user would need to sterilize the units prior to use via steam sterilization. Certain pedicle screws and rods will be packaged in sterile multi-packs for customer convenience.
The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of device performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or diagnostic ability.
Instead, the document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Moss® Miami and Expedium® Spine Systems) that describes a change in sterilization method (from non-sterile to terminally sterilized via gamma radiation). The key aspect of this submission is demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Here's a breakdown of why the requested information isn't present in this document:
- "Acceptance criteria and the reported device performance": This document does not outline numerical performance criteria (e.g., "The device must achieve X% sensitivity and Y% specificity"). The "performance" being discussed is the effect of the new sterilization method.
- "Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria": There isn't a clinical or analytical performance study in this document that would measure diagnostic accuracy or similar metrics. The focus is on demonstrating that the sterilization change does not alter the fundamental characteristics or safety/effectiveness of the device compared to its non-sterile predecessors.
- "Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance": Not applicable, as there's no diagnostic test set being evaluated.
- "Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... and qualifications": Not applicable.
- "Adjudication method": Not applicable.
- "Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study": Not applicable. Such studies are typically for diagnostic imaging devices or AI-powered algorithms where human reader performance is a key metric.
- "Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done": Not applicable, as this device (spinal fixation system) is not an algorithm.
- "Type of ground truth used": Not applicable.
- "Sample size for the training set": Not applicable.
- "How the ground truth for the training set was established": Not applicable.
What the document does state regarding the "study" for acceptance:
The document explains that the sterilization process itself was conducted in compliance with a standard:
- Study described: The gamma sterilization is performed in compliance with ISO 11137:2006 (VDMax method).
- "Acceptance Criteria" implicitly met: By complying with ISO 11137:2006, the device is accepted to achieve a predefined sterility assurance level (SAL), which is the primary "acceptance criterion" for the sterilization process. The "performance" is that the device is now terminally sterilized to this recognized standard.
Conclusion from the document:
The final conclusion is that the "Substantial Equivalence Justification demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device." This means the change in sterilization method did not negatively impact the device's safety, effectiveness, or performance, which were already established for the predicate devices.

| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Static cantilever beam in accordance with ASTM F1798-97 | Not explicitly stated (implied to be meeting the standard's requirements for strength/stability) | "The acceptance criteria was/were met." |
| Static axial slip in accordance with ASTM F1798-97 | Not explicitly stated (implied to be meeting the standard's requirements for resistance to slip) | "The acceptance criteria was/were met." |
| Dynamic cantilever beam in accordance with ASTM F1798-97 | Not explicitly stated (implied to be meeting the standard's requirements for fatigue life/durability) | "The acceptance criteria was/were met." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample size (number of devices/components tested) for each mechanical test. It only states that the tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM F1798-97.
- Data Provenance: The data is from non-clinical mechanical testing performed by the manufacturer, DePuy Spine, Inc., presumably in their labs. This is not patient-derived data, so terms like "country of origin" or "retrospective/prospective" are not applicable.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This question is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by the specified ASTM standard (F1798-97), which outlines the methodology and performance metrics. There are no "experts establishing ground truth" in the sense of clinical interpretation or diagnosis for this type of non-clinical mechanical evaluation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This question is not applicable. Adjudication typically refers to the process of resolving discrepancies in expert opinions, often in clinical studies. For mechanical testing against an ASTM standard, the results are objectively measured and compared to the predefined criteria of the standard.
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. The submission explicitly states: "No clinical tests were performed."
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This question is not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device (spinal implant components), not a software algorithm or AI-driven system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria is adherence to established mechanical testing standards (ASTM F1798-97). The performance of the new components was compared to these standards to ensure they are equivalent to the predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable. As there is no training set for a machine learning model, there is no ground truth for a training set to be established.

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for additions to the EXPEDIUM® Spine System. This document describes a medical device (spinal implant components) and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than a diagnostic device or AI/ML-driven system. Therefore, many of the requested criteria such as sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable to this type of submission.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and the "study" (in this case, mechanical testing) that demonstrates the device meets these criteria.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
| Test Type | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Static compression bending | The acceptance criteria was/were met (as per ASTM F1717-04 standard). | Met |
| Static torsion | The acceptance criteria was/were met (as per ASTM F1717-04 standard). | Met |
| Dynamic compression bending | The acceptance criteria was/were met (as per ASTM F1717-04 standard). | Met |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in terms of number of samples, but the "test set" refers to the new components of the EXPEDIUM Spine System (closed screws, fixed bolts, polyaxial bolts, cross connectors, nuts, washers, wires, and plates) that underwent mechanical testing.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted according to ASTM F1717-04 standard, which is an international standard. The submission is from Medos International Sárl, located in Switzerland, with a contact person in the US.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, and "ground truth" is established by adherence to engineering performance standards (ASTM F1717-04) rather than expert consensus on medical images or diagnoses.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. Mechanical testing results are objective measurements against a standard, not subject to 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:
Not applicable. This is a physical spinal implant system, not a diagnostic or AI-assisted system.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a physical spinal implant system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
The "ground truth" for this device is based on established mechanical engineering performance standards, specifically ASTM F1717-04, for spinal implant constructs in a vertebrectomy model.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML system.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML system.
In summary, the study proving the device meets its acceptance criteria involved nonclinical mechanical testing (Static compression bending, Static torsion, Dynamic compression bending) in accordance with the ASTM F1717-04 standard. The acceptance criteria for these tests were simply "the acceptance criteria was/were met" as defined by that standard. No clinical testing was performed for this 510(k) submission. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and the successful completion of these mechanical tests to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.
The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.
Additional Component of the EXPEDIUM Spine System.
The EXPEDIUM Spine System also contains Class 1 manual surgical instruments and cases that are considered exempt from premarket notification.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the EXPEDIUM™ Spine System, specifically for additional components. It is a submission to the FDA for market clearance, not typically a publication of a clinical study with detailed performance metrics against acceptance criteria. Therefore, the information provided is limited to what's available in such a regulatory document.
Based on the provided text, a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from a clinical study cannot be constructed because the document does not describe acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance or a clinical study in the way typically seen for AI/software devices.
Instead, the document states:
"PERFORMANCE DATA:
Performance data were submitted to characterize the additional components of the EXPEDIUM Spine System."
This refers to engineering performance data for a physical medical device (spinal implants), not typically diagnostic performance as would be expected for an AI/software device. The FDA's 510(k) clearance in this context relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, often through mechanical testing, biocompatibility, and material characterization, rather than clinical efficacy studies with ground truth.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods are not applicable or not present in this type of regulatory submission for a physical implantable device.
Here's an attempt to answer the questions based only on the provided text, noting where information is missing or not applicable:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Not Explicitly Stated for this Device in the provided text. The document describes a "Performance Data" section for "characterizing the additional components" which refers to engineering performance (mechanical, material, biocompatibility) rather than diagnostic accuracy or clinical efficacy. | Not Explicitly Stated for this Device in the provided text.

The EXPEDIUM Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.
The EXPEDIUM™ Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.
The subject EXPEDIUM Spine System components consist of 4.5mm and 6.35mm rods and are available in various geometries and sizes.
The provided text describes the EXPEDIUM Spine System, a medical device intended for spinal immobilization and stabilization. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria, detailed study designs, or performance metrics in a way that would allow for a complete answer to your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them.
The document is a 510(k) summary and FDA clearance letter, which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a detailed performance study against pre-defined acceptance criteria.
Here's a breakdown of what can be gleaned and what is missing, structured as requested:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Not Explicitly Stated | "Performance data per ASTM F 1717 were submitted to characterize the subject EXPEDIUM™ Spine System components addressed in this notification." |
Explanation: The document states that "Performance data per ASTM F 1717 were submitted." ASTM F 1717 is a standard specification for spinal implant constructs in vitro, likely involving mechanical testing (e.g., fatigue, static strength). However, the specific acceptance criteria (e.g., "must withstand X cycles at Y load," or "static strength must exceed Z N-m") and the device's measured performance against those criteria are not provided in this summary. The summary confirms that data was submitted to characterize the device, implying that a study was conducted, but it does not present the results or the pass/fail thresholds.
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 specified for any test set. The ASTM F 1717 standard would typically define the number of constructs to be tested, but this detail is not present in the summary.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. It's an in-vitro mechanical test, so "country of origin of data" is less relevant than for clinical data, but the location of the testing facility is not provided. Retrospective or prospective classification is not applicable to an in-vitro mechanical test.
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 question is not applicable to the device and performance data described. The device is a spinal implant system, and the performance data cited (ASTM F 1717) refers to mechanical properties, not diagnostic performance or clinical outcomes requiring expert interpretation to establish ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. As the performance data pertains to mechanical testing (ASTM F 1717), there is no need for expert adjudication. Mechanical tests follow standardized protocols.
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 device is a spinal implant system, not a diagnostic imaging or AI-assisted device. Therefore, MRMC studies involving human readers and AI assistance are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This device is a physical spinal implant system, not a software algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable in the typical sense of ground truth for diagnostic devices. For mechanical testing (ASTM F 1717), the "ground truth" is established by the physical properties and behavior of the device components under controlled test conditions, measured against the specifications of the standard. There is no expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data used to establish "ground truth" for this type of performance assessment.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" for a physical medical device undergoing mechanical performance testing. This concept applies to machine learning algorithms.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. (See point 8).
Summary of available information:
The 510(k) summary indicates that the EXPEDIUM Spine System is a Class III medical device intended for spinal immobilization and stabilization. It states that "Performance data per ASTM F 1717 were submitted to characterize the subject EXPEDIUM™ Spine System components." This implies that a study was conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the device according to the ASTM F 1717 standard. However, the specific details of this study, including the acceptance criteria, the actual performance results, sample sizes, or any form of "ground truth" that would be applicable to diagnostic or AI devices, are not present in the provided document. The document primarily serves to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, allowing it to proceed to market without a full PMA.
