The FLXTM Platform is composed of 8 different interbody fusion implant families:
- STALIF C FLXTM
- STALIF M FLXTM
- STALIF L FLXTM and STALIF Lateral-Oblique FLXTM
- ACTILIF C FLXTM
- ACTILIF M FLXTM
- ACTILIF L FLXTM and ACTILIF Lateral-Oblique FLXTM
The FLX™ Platform is a novel range of interbody fusion implants with a complex randomized lattice. The Implants retain all of the benefits of the STALIF® product family while taking advantage of the benefits of porous, laser sintered Ti6Al4V. With the recent advances in additive manufacturing, titanium implants are printed with a porous scaffold structure which reduces the stiffness of the device to potentially reduce subsidence and facilitate bone growth through and around the implant.
The FLX™ Platform is intended to be implanted between the vertebral bodies into the cleared disc space to help provide stabilization and height restoration and facilitate the interbody fusion process. The device is intended to be used with bone graft (autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft). The devices are available in a variety of heights, lengths, and widths as well as different lordotic angles to provide surgeons with a wide array of solutions for the highly variable patient population. Surgical instrumentation has been previously developed for the STALIF® Platform and is compatible with the new devices.
In addition, interbody-only versions of the FLX™ devices are available in similar size ranges as the STALIF® versions. These devices are not designed to be used with the current STALIF® ABO screw constructs and are instead to be used with supplemental fixation.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device submitted to the FDA, not a study report. Therefore, it does not contain the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them in the context of an AI/human reader performance evaluation.
Instead, this document describes the Centinel Spine FLX™ Platform, a series of intervertebral body fusion devices, and seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The "study" mentioned is performance testing focused on mechanical aspects of the implant to ensure it is as safe and effective as existing legally marketed devices.
Here's an breakdown of the information that can be extracted or inferred based on the provided text, and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a formal table of acceptance criteria with numerical performance metrics in the way one would see for an AI device's diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the mechanical testing standards referenced and the outcome of "substantial equivalence."
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Static Compression per ASTM F2077-14 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Static Compression-Shear per ASTM F2077-14 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Dynamic Compression per ASTM F2077-14 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Dynamic Compression-Shear per ASTM F2077-14 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Expulsion per ASTM F2077-14 and F2267-04 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Subsidence per ASTM F2077-14 and F2267-04 | Met (demonstrated substantial equivalence) |
Wear Debris particle analysis | Ensured results consistent with predicate devices |
The "reported device performance" is a general statement that the testing demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices, meaning it performed comparably to devices already on the market.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This document discusses physical device testing, not clinical data or algorithm testing with a test set of data. Therefore, there is no information about a "test set" in the context of patient data, data provenance, or retrospective/prospective studies. The "test set" refers to the physical devices subjected to mechanical testing. The specific number of physical devices (samples) used for each mechanical test is 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)
This is not applicable as the document describes mechanical testing of physical medical devices, not a study involving expert review of data/images to establish ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable as the document describes mechanical testing of physical medical devices, not a study involving expert review of data/images.
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
This is not applicable. This document is for a physical implantable medical device, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. This document is for a physical implantable medical device, not an AI diagnostic tool.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the mechanical testing, the "ground truth" is established by the specified ASTM standards (e.g., F2077-14, F2267-04). These standards define the test methods and performance requirements for intervertebral body fusion devices.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable. This document is for a physical implantable medical device, not an AI diagnostic tool that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable. This document is for a physical implantable medical device, not an AI diagnostic tool that requires a training set.

STALIF C; STALIF C-Ti
The STALIF C® and STALIF C-Ti™ devices are intended to be used as an intervertebral body fusion cage as a standalone system used with bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. It is inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space at one or two contiguous levels from the C2/C3 disc space to the C7/T1 disc space for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The device system is designed for use with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, to facilitate fusion.
The cervical cage is to be used in a skeletally mature patient who has had six weeks of nonoperative treatment prior to implantation of the cage.
STALIF C® is a radiolucent intervertebral body fusion cage with unicortical cancellous bone screws. It is intended to be used as an IBF cage without supplementary fixation. The cross section profile of the STALIF C® is similar to that of the vertebral body endplate with central cavity that can be packed with autograft or allograft. STALIF C® is manufactured from either PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 supplied by Invibio or Zeniva ZA PEEK supplied by Solvay per ASTM F2026 with titanium alloy screws (Ti6A14V, ASTM F136) and X-ray marker wires manufactured from unalloyed Tantalum (ASTM F560). The STALIF C-Ti™ is identical to this design with a titanium plasma spray coating (CPT) per ASTM F1580) on the device endplates.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (STALIF C® and STALIF C-Ti™ intervertebral body fusion cages). This document details a regulatory submission for expanding the indications for use of an already cleared device, not the initial approval or a study explicitly proving acceptance criteria for a new device's performance.
Therefore, the information typically requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, device performance tables, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, is not present in this type of regulatory document.
Here's what can be inferred and what is explicitly stated:
- Device Type: The STALIF C® and STALIF C-Ti™ are intervertebral body fusion cages, which are physical implants. The "performance" in this context mainly refers to biomechanical properties, materials, and clinical safety/efficacy when used in the human body, not an AI algorithm's diagnostic performance.
- Purpose of Submission: The current 510(k) (K150053) is to expand the indications of the device to allow its use in multilevel cervical procedures (one or two contiguous levels). The original device (K142079) was already cleared for single-level use.
- "Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria": For this specific submission, the "study" primarily consists of:
- Clinical literature review: To assess additional safety concerns for multilevel use.
- PearlDiver reimbursement data: To investigate risks and benefits.
- Cadaveric biomechanical testing: Conducted to support substantial equivalence.
Given this context, I cannot fill out the requested table or answer most of your detailed questions because they pertain to diagnostic AI performance studies, which are not applicable to this physical implant's regulatory submission.
However, I can extract the following relevant information based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Not applicable in the AI sense for this implant)
This document does not present acceptance criteria for an AI algorithm's performance or a device performance table for diagnostic metrics. Instead, the "performance" discussed relates to the biomechanical and safety aspects of the physical implant for its expanded indication. The device is deemed "substantially equivalent" to its predicate based on design, material, and performance, which implies meeting established safety and effectiveness standards for such devices.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Not applicable / Not explicitly stated for AI diagnostic performance. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence for an expanded indication (multilevel use) of a physical implant. The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) submission are met by showing the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate. Performance is demonstrated through biomechanical testing and clinical literature review, not in terms of AI metrics.
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: "Cadaveric biomechanical testing was conducted." The specific number of cadavers or samples is not provided.
- Data Provenance: Not specified for the cadaveric testing. The clinical literature review and PearlDiver reimbursement data are mentioned, but details on provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) are 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. This pertains to a physical implant, not an AI diagnostic device. Ground truth in this context would implicitly relate to established biomechanical standards and clinical outcomes for spinal fusion, which are assessed by relevant specialists (e.g., orthopedic surgeons, biomechanical engineers), but specific numbers and qualifications of experts for a "ground truth" establishment are not mentioned for this type of submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically for expert interpretation of diagnostic data, which is not the focus here.
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
- No. An MRMC study is not mentioned as this is a physical medical implant, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a physical implant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For the cadaveric biomechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be established biomechanical principles and measurements related to spinal stability and fusion construct integrity.
- For the clinical literature review and PearlDiver data, the "ground truth" would be derived from a synthesis of published clinical outcomes data and real-world reimbursement trends related to spinal fusion procedures.
- Specific, explicit statements on "ground truth" definition are not in the document.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. No AI algorithm is being trained here.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. No AI algorithm is being trained here.

STALIF CTI, STALIF C
The STALIF C® and STALIF C® Ti devices are intended to be used as an intervertebral body fusion cage as a standalone system used with bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. It is inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space from levels C2 to T1 for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The device system is designed for use with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, to facilitate fusion. STALIF C® and STALIF C® Ti are intended to be used at one level.
The cervical cage is to be used in a skeletally mature patient who has had six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to implantation of the cage.
STALIF C® is a radiolucent intervertebral body fusion cage with unicortical cancellous bone screws. It is intended to be used as an IBF cage without supplementary fixation. The cross section profile of the STALIF C® is similar to that of the vertebral body endplate with central cavity that can be packed with autograft or allograft. STALIF C® is manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 with titanium alloy screws and X-ray marker wires manufactured from unalloyed Tantalum (ASTM F-560). The STALIF C® Ti is identical to this design with a titanium plasma spray coating on the device endplates.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the STALIF C® and STALIF C® Ti intervertebral body fusion devices, seeking to expand their indications to include use with allograft. This is a regulatory submission for a medical device, and the content focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific performance acceptance criteria.
Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance derived from a study, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth cannot be extracted directly from this document. The FDA 510(k) process for this type of device typically relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, often through engineering tests, material compatibility, and sometimes clinical literature reviews, rather than a clinical effectiveness study with defined performance metrics, a test set, and ground truth as might be seen for AI/diagnostic devices.
Here's what can be inferred or stated based on the provided text, and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Cannot be provided directly. The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance (e.g., fusion rates, pain reduction scores, range of motion values) or report specific performance metrics from a study related to these criteria. The submission is about expanding indications based on clinical literature for allograft use.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Cannot be provided directly. No "test set" in the context of a performance study (like for an AI algorithm) is mentioned. The submission refers to a "comprehensive, clinical literature review" and "PearlDiver reimbursement data." These are not a single, defined test set with a specific sample size for a device performance study. Details on country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature of the literature reviewed are also 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):
- Cannot be provided directly. Since no specific "test set" requiring ground truth establishment by experts is described, this information is not available. The clinical literature review would involve evaluation of published studies, whose ground truth and expert evaluations would have been established within those individual studies.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Cannot be provided directly. This is not applicable as there is no described test set requiring expert adjudication for ground truth.
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:
- No such study was done. This type of study (MRMC for AI assistance) is not relevant for this device, which is an intervertebral body fusion cage, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No such study was done. This question pertains to AI algorithms. The STALIF C® and STALIF C® Ti are physical medical implants.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Implied ground truth from literature review: The submission relies on "clinical literature review" and "PearlDiver reimbursement data" to suggest the benefits and risks of allograft. For fusion cages, the ultimate 'ground truth' related to effectiveness would typically be radiographic evidence of fusion and patient-reported outcomes (e.g., pain, disability scores) from clinical studies. The document states, "The clinical literature suggests that there is a positive benefit associated with allograft with minimal risk."
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
Summary of what the document does state regarding demonstrating device appropriateness:
- The submission aims to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" of the STALIF C® and STALIF C® Ti to the predicate ANATOMIC PEEK™ CERVICAL FUSION SYSTEM.
- The primary purpose of this specific 510(k) was to expand the indications to include use with allograft.
- This expansion was supported by:
- A "comprehensive, clinical literature review" to investigate risks and benefits associated with using allogenic bone graft with the STALIF C®.
- "PearlDiver reimbursement data" also provided for the same purpose.
- No new mechanical tests were performed because there were no design changes to the device itself. The original device would have undergone mechanical testing to demonstrate safety and function.
In conclusion, the document provided is a regulatory clearance letter for a physical medical device (intervertebral body fusion cage) seeking an expanded indication. It does not contain information typically found in a study proving an AI device meets specific performance acceptance criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each mechanical test. It mentions that "Testing performed indicate that the STALIF C® is as mechanically sound as predicate devices," suggesting the tests were performed on the device itself.
The data provenance is from laboratory testing (mechanical testing), not from patient data, and is therefore neither retrospective nor prospective in the clinical sense.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. The ground truth for this device is based on mechanical engineering standards (ASTM F2077 and F2267) and the device's ability to meet those established criteria, not on expert clinical interpretation of data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The "adjudication" is determined by whether the device's performance meets the defined mechanical standards, rather than expert consensus on a test set.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Its Effect Size
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted as this is a medical device (intervertebral body fusion cage), not an AI algorithm or diagnostic tool that relies on human interpretation.
6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical implant, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used is based on established mechanical engineering standards (ASTM F2077 and F2267) for intervertebral body fusion devices. The device's performance was compared against these universally recognized standards for mechanical soundness.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI model, so there is no "training set." The device itself underwent the mechanical tests.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, there is no ground truth to establish for it. The standards (ASTM F2077 and F2267) that define the "ground truth" for mechanical performance were established by industry experts and regulatory bodies.
