The REVERE™ Stabilization System, when used as a posterior pedicle screw system, is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusion.

In addition, the REVERE™ Stabilization System is intended for treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft, having implants attached to the lumbosacral spine and/or ilium with removal of the implants after attainment of a solid fusion. Levels of pedicle screw fixation for these patients are L3-sacrum/ilium.

When used as a posterior non-pedicle screw fixation system, the REVERE™ Stabilization System is intended for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal deformities (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis, Scheuermann's disease), fracture, pseudarthrosis, tumor resection, and/or failed previous fusion. Overall levels of fixation are T1-sacrum/ilium.

When used as an anterolateral thoracolumbar system, the REVERE™ Stabilization System is intended for anterolateral screw (with or without staple) fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal deformities (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), fracture or dislocation of the thoracolumbar spine, pseudoarthrosis, tumor resection, and/or failed previous fusion. Levels of screw fixation are T8-L5.

The REVERE™ Stabilization System consists of rods, hooks, monoaxial screws, uniplanar screws, polyaxial screws, locking caps, t-connectors, staples, and associated manual surgical instruments. Screws and rods are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate individual patient anatomy. Implant components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations for the individual patient and surgical condition. Polyaxial screws, hooks, and t-connectors are intended for posterior use only. Staples are intended for anterior use only. Rods and monoaxial screws may be used anteriorly or posteriorly. Locking caps are used to connect screws or hooks to the rod.

The most common use of this screw, hook, and rod system in the posterior thoracolumbar and sacral spine is two rods, each positioned and attached lateral to the spinous process via pedicle screws and/or lamina, pedicle or transverse process hooks.

The most common use of this screw, hook, and rod system in the anterior thoracolumbar spine is one rod, positioned and attached to the vertebral bodies via monoaxial screws through an appropriate size staple.

Screws and hooks attach to the rods using a locking cap with an inner set screw. The size and number of screws are dependent on the length and location of the rod. Screws are inserted into a pedicle of the thoracolumbar and/or sacral spine. The type and number of hooks are also dependent on the location in the spine needing correction and/or stabilization. Hooks are attached to the laminae, pedicles, or transverse process of the posterior spine.

T-connectors are modular components designed to connect the two rods of a construct and act as a structural cross member. The rod-clamping set screws secure the t-connectors to the rods. Additional set screws secure the adjustable cross members at the desired length. T-connectors from the PROTEX® system may be used with 6.5mm, 6.0mm or 5.5mm rod systems. REVERE™ Tconnectors may only be used with 5.5mm rods. Additional connectors may be used to connect two rods, and are also secured using set screws.

The REVERE™ rods are composed of titanium alloy, commercially pure titanium, or stainless steel, as specified in ASTM F136, F1295, F67, and F138. All other REVERE™ implants are composed of titanium alloy or stainless steel, as specified in ASTM F136, F1295, and F138. Due to the risk of galvanic corrosion following implantation, stainless steel implants should not be connected to titanium or titanium alloy implants.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the REVERE™ Uniplanar Screws, which are additional implants for the REVERE™ Stabilization System. It serves as a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.

The "study" referenced in the document is a mechanical testing in accordance with specific FDA guidance, rather than a clinical study involving human subjects or AI performance. The purpose of this testing is to demonstrate the mechanical performance and safety of the device.

Here's an breakdown based on your request, with limitations due to the nature of the document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria or specific numerical performance results for the REVERE™ Uniplanar Screws. Instead, it states that:

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this document. The "test set" here refers to physical components of the device undergoing mechanical testing, not a dataset for software performance. The document does not specify the number of components tested.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable for a mechanical test. The "data" would be the results from laboratory testing of the device components.

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

• Number of Experts & Qualifications: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the sense of expert consensus for diagnostic accuracy, is not relevant to a mechanical testing submission for a medical implant. The "ground truth" here is established by engineering standards and regulatory guidance.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Adjudication Method: Not applicable. Adjudication is typically associated with clinical trials or studies where human interpretation or decisions are involved. For mechanical testing, the "adjudication" is based on whether the physical test results meet predefined engineering and regulatory specifications.

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. This document describes a submission for a physical medical implant (spinal screws, rods, etc.), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive device. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI-related effectiveness are not relevant to this submission.

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

• Standalone Performance Study: No. As mentioned above, this is for a physical medical implant, not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Type of Ground Truth: For the mechanical testing, the "ground truth" is defined by engineering standards and regulatory guidance (specifically, the "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Guidance for Spinal System 510(k)s", May 3, 2004). The device's performance is compared against the requirements and specifications outlined in this guidance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This document does not describe the development or testing of an AI model, so there is no "training set."

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

• How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established: Not applicable. As there is no AI model or training set, this question is not relevant.

In summary: K081195 is a 510(k) submission for conventional medical devices (spinal implants). The "study" refers to mechanical fatigue and strength testing to demonstrate the device's safety and performance equivalent to a predicate device, as per FDA guidance for such implants. It does not involve clinical trials, AI, or human reader performance assessments.
