When used in conjunction with the CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screws, KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement is intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement is limited to use at spinal levels where the structural integrity of the spine is not severely compromised.

When used in conjunction with KYPHON® HV-R Fenestrated Screw Cement, the CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screws are intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screws augmented with KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement are for use at spinal levels where the structural integrity of the spine is not severely compromised.

1. KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement is self-curing PMMA based (high viscosity, radiopaque) bone cement. KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement will be provided sterile in two components: 20 grams of powder and nine grams of liquid. The powder contains methylmethacrylate-styrene co-polymer, barium sulfate as a radiopacifier, and di-benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. This liquid contains methylmethacrylate monomer, N, N dimethyl-p-toluidine as a promoter and hydroquinone as a stabilizer. The powder and liquid components are mixed, in the provided liquid-to-powder proportions, into a homogenous paste, to initiate the polymerization reaction of monomer into polymer.

2. The CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screw Set consists of a variety of cannulated multi-axial screws (MAS) with fenestrations offered in diameters ranging from 4.5mm to 10.5mm, with lengths ranging from 30-100mm based on CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ and CD HORIZON® SOLERA™ implants contained in the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. The CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screws are specifically designed to connect to 4.75mm, 5.5mm, and 6.0mm diameter rods and associated connecting components contained within the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. The screws contain six fenestrations near the distal tip of the screw which provides a controlled means to deliver a small amount of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement into a targeted vertebral body. These screws are provided non-sterile.

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement and CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screw Set. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria and proving performance through a study with specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader performance.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design for performance measurement, ground truth, and expert involvement are not available in this type of regulatory document.

However, I can extract information regarding performance data and the overall conclusion.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text:

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

• Not Applicable. The document explicitly states "Clinical data and Non-Clinical testing were provided in support of substantial equivalence of the subject device." This indicates that the performance data was used to demonstrate that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate devices, rather than meeting predefined acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance metrics (like sensitivity/specificity) for a specific task (e.g., detecting a condition). The performance data cited would likely be mechanical properties, biocompatibility, or other engineering parameters relevant to medical devices, not diagnostic accuracy.

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

• Not Available. The document does not specify test set sample sizes or data provenance. The "clinical data" mentioned would typically be focused on patient outcomes and safety profiles compared to predicate devices, not on a "test set" for an AI algorithm's performance.

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 device is a medical implant and bone cement system, not an AI diagnostic tool. Therefore, there is no "ground truth for a test set" in the context of expert review for diagnostic accuracy as there would be for an AI algorithm. Ground truth, if applicable in a clinical study for an implant, would relate to patient outcomes, imaging results post-procedure, or pathology reports after explantation, which are typically assessed by treating physicians or pathologists, not necessarily a panel of experts specifically for "ground truth establishment" in the way it's described for AI.

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

• Not Applicable. As explained above, this is not an AI diagnostic device and therefore, adjudication methods for a test set based on expert review are not relevant to this document.

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 medical device (cement and screws), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant or described in this document.

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

• Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI system.

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

• Outcomes Data/Substantial Equivalence to Predicates: While not framed as "ground truth" for an AI, the "Performance Data" and "Clinical Data and Non-Clinical testing" would have relied on various forms of data to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. For implants, this typically includes:
  • Mechanical Testing Data: Demonstrating the physical properties (strength, fatigue, etc.) of the cement and screws.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Ensuring the materials are safe for implantation.
  • Clinical Outcomes Data: Potentially from studies comparing the device to existing treatments, or from safety monitoring, though detailed clinical trial results are not provided in a 510(k) summary. The primary "ground truth" here is often the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not Applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.

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

• Not Applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI model.

Summary of Relevant Information from the Document:

While the document doesn't fit the typical "AI performance study" framework, it does describe its substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on presented data.

Device(s) being reviewed:

• KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement
• CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screw Set

Predicate Devices:

• KYPHON® HV-R® Bone Cement (K150460)
• CD HORIZON® Spinal System (K042025 and K113174)

Basis of Substantial Equivalence (implied "performance criteria" for a 510(k) device):
The substantial equivalence is based on demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and comparable performance to the legally marketed predicate devices. The document explicitly states:

• KYPHON HV-R® Fenestrated Screw Cement: "identical in composition, method of manufacture and sterilization to the primary predicate Kyphon® H-VR® Bone Cement... The only differences between the subject and predicate cement are the method in which the cement is delivered and that the subject cement is limited to patients with advanced stage tumors..."
• CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screw Set: "have the same or similar indications, intended use, fundamental scientific technology, and are manufactured from similar materials as the pedicle screws found in the following FDA cleared CD HORIZON® Spinal System applications... The primary difference is the subject screws contain fenestrations which allow PMMA cement to flow in a controlled manner through the screw and into the targeted pedicle."

Conclusion:
"Based on the provided performance data, the subject KYPHON® HV-R Fenestrated Screw Cement is substantially equivalent to the KYPHON® HV-R® Bone Cement (K150460, SE 04/28/15) and the CD HORIZON® Fenestrated Screw Set is substantially equivalent to the CD HORIZON® Spinal System (K042025 (SE 08/25/2004) and K113174 (SE 11/21/2011))."
