The previously cleared devices consist of a variety of plate and screw systems designed to provide support across implanted levels in the cervical, thoracolumbar, and lumbosacral spine until fusion is achieved. The primary purpose of this submission is to update previously cleared MR safety information, establish an MR Conditional labeling claim, update cleaning, disinfection and sterilization instructions.

This appears to be a 510(k) summary for various spinal plate and screw systems. The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through updating MRI safety information, cleaning/disinfection/sterilization instructions, and labeling.

Unfortunately, this document does not contain the information requested about acceptance criteria and study results for an AI/software-based medical device. The listed devices are physical implants, and the "performance data" section refers to MR compatibility testing, not the performance of an AI algorithm in classification or detection tasks.

Therefore, I cannot extract the following information from the provided text:

• A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance (for an AI/software device)
• Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
• Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
• Adjudication method for the test set
• If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
• If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
• The type of ground truth used
• The sample size for the training set
• How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document primarily addresses the safety and efficacy of physical spinal implants based on their design, materials, and established predicate devices, and MRI compatibility. It is not about an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic device.

The YUKON OCT Spinal System is a top-loading, multiple component, posterior (occipitalcervical-thoracic) spinal fixation system consisting of screws, hooks, rods, rod connectors, and occipital components. The purpose of this submission is to add connectors to the system.

Function: The system functions as an adjunct to provide stabilization of the posterior cervical and thoracic spine.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the YUKON OCT Spinal System, which is a medical device. This type of document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

It is critical to understand that this document describes a mechanical medical device (a spinal fixation system) and not an AI/ML algorithm or software device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML performance, such as acceptance criteria for AI algorithms, AI-assisted reader performance, ground truth for AI training and testing, and standalone algorithm performance, are not applicable to this submission.

The acceptance criteria and study information provided in this document pertain to the mechanical and physical performance of the spinal fixation system.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, focusing on what is relevant to this type of device:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For a mechanical device like the YUKON OCT Spinal System, acceptance criteria typically involve demonstrating mechanical strength and durability. The document states:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

For mechanical testing, the "test set" refers to the number of physical samples of the device components tested. The document does not specify the exact number of samples tested for each type of mechanical test (static compression, static torsion, dynamic compression).

• Data Provenance: The testing appears to be conducted by the manufacturer as part of the regulatory submission process, implying internal laboratory testing. There is no mention of country of origin of data in terms of patient data, as this is not a clinical study based on patient outcomes but rather a mechanical performance study. It is a prospective test in the sense that new samples of the device were manufactured and then tested to demonstrate performance.

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

This question is not applicable. For mechanical performance testing of a spinal fixation system, "experts" in the sense of clinicians establishing a "ground truth" for a diagnostic task are not involved. The ground truth is defined by engineering standards (e.g., ASTM F1717) and the physical properties of the materials and design. The interpretation of test results would be performed by qualified engineers.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are used in clinical studies or AI performance evaluations to reconcile discrepancies between expert opinions on a specific outcome (e.g., diagnosis). For mechanical testing, there isn't typically an "adjudication" of results in this sense, but rather adherence to standardized testing protocols and interpretation by engineers.

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 question is not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI or software device. The concept of "human readers" and "AI assistance" does not apply.

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

This question is not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI or software device.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation is established by engineering standards and specifications. Specifically, the document references ASTM F1717, which is a standard specification for spinal implant constructs in a corpectomy model. The performance of the device is assessed against the requirements and methodologies outlined in this standard, and in comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. This is a premarket notification for a mechanical device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. The design of the device is based on engineering principles and prior experience with similar devices, not a '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 an AI/ML algorithm for this mechanical device, there is no ground truth established for a training set in that context.

The previously cleared K2M EVEREST, RANGE (MESA and DENALI), CASPIAN OCT (MESA Mini and DENALI mini) and YUKON OCT Spinal Systems are top-loading, multiple component posterior spinal fixation implants consisting of pedicle screws, hooks, rods and connectors, intended to provide support during spinal fusion procedures. The primary purpose of this submission is to establish an MR Conditional labeling claim for these implants. In addition, CASPIAN components that were previously provided non-sterile are now being optionally offered as sterile packaged devices.

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the EVEREST, RANGE, CASPIAN OCT, and YUKON OCT Spinal Systems:

Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary, the primary purpose of this submission is not to introduce a new device with novel performance criteria, but rather to:

1. Establish an MR Conditional labeling claim for existing, previously cleared spinal systems.
2. Optionally offer previously non-sterile CASPIAN components as sterile packaged devices.

Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in this context refer to demonstrating the safety and compatibility of the devices in an MRI environment, and that their core technological characteristics remain equivalent to their predicates.

It is important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary for modifications to existing devices (primarily MR compatibility and sterilization options), not for the initial clearance of the spinal systems themselves. The original studies for the biomechanical and clinical performance of the spinal systems would have been part of their initial 510(k) submissions. This document focuses on the new testing related to the modifications.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Study Details (Relevant to this 510(k) submission)

The primary study mentioned in this document is related to MR Compatibility testing.

1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

   • The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of patients or cases for this particular testing. MR compatibility testing (per ASTM F2503) typically involves testing the physical devices themselves (e.g., assessing heating, artifact generation, and displacement forces), not patient data.
   • Data provenance: Not applicable in the context of device testing for MR compatibility. The tests would be conducted in a controlled laboratory environment.

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

   • Not applicable as this is a device performance test, not an AI or diagnostic expert review study. MR compatibility testing is conducted by engineers and technicians following established ASTM protocols.

3. Adjudication method for the test set:

   • Not applicable for device performance testing. Results are typically determined by measurements against predefined ASTM standards.

4. 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. This document pertains to spinal implants (physical medical devices), not AI software or diagnostic imaging analysis. Therefore, no MRMC study, AI integration, or human reader improvement assessment was performed or is relevant to this submission.

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

   • No. This is not an algorithm or software device.

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

   • Not applicable as this concerns the physical properties of the device for MR compatibility. The "ground truth" would be the measured physical interactions (e.g., temperature rise, deflection) of the implant components in an MRI electromagnetic field compared to acceptable limits defined by ASTM F2503.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • Not applicable. There is no software or AI model involved that would require a training set.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

   • Not applicable. There is no software or AI model involved.

The YUKON OCT Spinal System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (CI to C7) and the thoracic spine (T1-T3): traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity; failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudoarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical spine; and degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The YUKON OCT Spinal System is also 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 cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the YUKON OCT Spinal System may be connected to EVEREST Spinal System components via the rod to rod connectors or transition rods.

The YUKON OCT Spinal System is a top-loading, multiple component, posterior (occipitalcervical-thoracic) spinal fixation system consisting of screws, hooks, rods, rod connectors, and occipital components.

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the YUKON OCT Spinal System. It is a medical device for spinal fixation, not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the information requested in the prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance (including details about test sets, expert involvement, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth, and training sets) is not applicable to this type of device.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily through:

1. Technological Comparison: Highlighting similarities in design features, materials, and sizes to existing predicate spinal fixation systems.
2. Non-clinical Performance Evaluation: Citing performance evaluation based on published literature and mechanical testing according to ASTM standards (F1717 and F2706) to demonstrate equivalent mechanical properties (static torsion, static compression, dynamic torsion, dynamic compression).

Since the device is a physical spinal fixation system and not a software or AI/ML diagnostic tool, the concept of a "test set" for performance evaluation in the context of diagnostic accuracy, human reader improvement, or algorithm-only performance does not apply. Similarly, "ground truth" for a physical implant is established through design specifications, material properties, and mechanical validation, not expert consensus on images or outcome data in the same way it would be for a diagnostic algorithm.
