The purpose of this 510(k) is to extend the expiration of imaging used to create 3D surgical plans. There have been no changes made to the software used in the surgical planning process.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter (K250827) for Carlsmed, Inc.'s "aprevo®" interbody fusion devices primarily concerns the renewal of previously cleared devices and the extension of the imaging expiration dating used for 3D surgical planning. Therefore, the document does not contain details of a clinical study assessing the performance of an AI-based device meeting acceptance criteria in the way one might expect for a novel AI/ML medical device submission.
Instead, the performance testing summary indicates that "Clinical data was used to evaluate imaging expiration. Expiration dating was validated using statistical analysis (DICE score) with an acceptance criterion of >0.80. Additionally, the performance was evaluated across key cohorts." This suggests that the "device" being evaluated for performance in this context is likely related to the software's ability to accurately segment or generate 3D models from imaging data over time, rather than the interbody fusion implants themselves. The clearance is for the physical implants, which are considered substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicates. The "performance testing" here seems to be an update or validation related to the software component of the surgical planning.
Given this context, I will extract information relevant to the software's performance, as that is the only "acceptance criteria" and "study" mentioned, even if it's not a typical AI model performance study against clinical outcomes.
Here's an interpretation based on the limited information provided, assuming the "device performance" refers to the imaging processing capabilities of the aprevo® system's software, specifically regarding the "expiration" of imaging data for 3D surgical plans:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for Imaging Expiration
The context of this FDA 510(k) submission (K250827) indicates that the performance study was specifically undertaken to extend the expiration of imaging used to create 3D surgical plans. This suggests the "device performance" being assessed relates to the consistency and accuracy of the software's ability to process imaging data for surgical planning over time, implying that "aging" of the input imaging data does not degrade the software's output beyond an acceptable threshold.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Metric | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
DICE Score (for imaging expiration/segmentation accuracy) | > 0.80 | Not explicitly stated, but implied to meet the criterion as the 510(k) was cleared. The text says "Expiration dating was validated using statistical analysis (DICE score) with an acceptance criterion of >0.80." |
Note: The document only specifies the acceptance criterion. The specific numerical performance result (e.g., the exact DICE score achieved) is not provided in this public clearance letter. However, the clearance implies that the criterion was met.
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text.
- Data Provenance: "Clinical data was used." No details on the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective are provided.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not specified. (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- MRMC Study Done?: No, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not mentioned or implied by the description of this performance evaluation, which focuses on "imaging expiration" and DICE score.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
- Standalone Performance Done?: Yes, the use of a "DICE score" for "imaging expiration" strongly suggests an algorithm-only performance evaluation, likely comparing the software's segmentation or 3D reconstruction output against a form of ground truth derived from the clinical data. The phrase "There have been no changes made to the software used in the surgical planning process" further indicates an assessment of the software's intrinsic capabilities.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The use of "DICE score" typically implies that the ground truth involves expert-annotated segmentations or regions of interest within the medical images. The DICE score measures the spatial overlap between the algorithm's output and the ground truth. While not explicitly stated, it's highly probable that this ground truth was derived from expert consensus or manual annotation of anatomical structures on the clinical imaging data.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Training Set Sample Size: Not mentioned. This submission is for an extension/validation of existing software, not the initial clearance of a newly developed AI model, so details on original training are not typically included here.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not mentioned. As above, this document focuses on a validation study for imaging expiration, not the initial development or training of the AI algorithm.
Summary of Limitations Based on Provided Text:
The provided 510(k) summary (specifically the "Performance Testing Summary") is extremely concise regarding details of the study. It states that "Clinical data was used to evaluate imaging expiration" and that "Expiration dating was validated using statistical analysis (DICE score) with an acceptance criterion of >0.80. Additionally, the performance was evaluated across key cohorts."
Therefore, many typical details requested for robust AI/ML performance studies, such as specific sample sizes, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods, are not present in this public clearance letter. This is common for 510(k) summaries, which are often condensed versions of the full submission. The key takeaway is that the "performance testing" here addresses a specific aspect ("imaging expiration" for 3D surgical planning) of the software rather than a direct clinical efficacy study of the implant or a broad AI diagnostic/prognostic model.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "aprevo® anterior and lateral lumbar interbody fusion device". It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, particularly regarding changes in a manufacturing process (addition of a new heat treatment).
Based on the document, this is not a study of a device that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML), nor does it involve a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, human readers, or ground truth establishment in the context of diagnostic or prognostic AI/ML applications. The device in question is an implantable interbody fusion device, and the "performance" described relates to mechanical properties and material characteristics, not diagnostic accuracy or expert interpretation.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing acceptance criteria and study that proves a device meets them (especially those related to AI/ML, human readers, sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment for interpretative tasks, and effect sizes of AI assistance) are not applicable or extractable from this document.
The document primarily focuses on non-clinical testing/performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence following a manufacturing change.
Here's a breakdown of the relevant and non-relevant information based on your request:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for aprevo® Interbody Fusion Device
Study Type: Non-clinical (mechanical and material performance) to demonstrate substantial equivalence for a manufacturing process change. This is not a clinical study or a study involving AI/ML performance.
Applicable Sections from Request:
- 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This can be partially derived from the Discussion of Non-Clinical Testing/Performance Data section, as it outlines the tests performed to show equivalence.
- 2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: For mechanical testing, this refers to the number of devices tested. Data provenance is not explicitly stated but is implied to be from internal testing by the manufacturer.
- 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: This is not applicable in the context of an implantable device's performance, but if interpreted as device-only performance (without human input during its function), then yes, the mechanical tests are "standalone" in that sense.
- 7. The type of ground truth used: For mechanical properties, the "ground truth" would be established engineering standards (ASTM F2077-18, ASTM F3001-14) that define acceptable performance.
Non-Applicable Sections from Request (as per the provided document's content):
- 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... and qualifications: Not applicable for mechanical tests of an implantable device.
- 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- 5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done... effect size: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML diagnostic or image interpretation device.
- 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
- 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
Detailed Response:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document details that the "subject device underwent mechanical performance testing to validate that the performance of the worst-case subject devices is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices." The acceptance criteria implicitly involve meeting the performance requirements of the cited ASTM standards, and the reported performance is that substantial equivalence was demonstrated.
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Test Standard / Goal | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
---|---|---|
Mechanical Performance | ASTM F2077-18: Methods for intervertebral body fusion devices | Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices. |
- Static/Dynamic Compression | The results "did not identify any new or increased risks". | |
- Static/Dynamic Compression Shear | ||
Material Performance | ASTM F3001-14: Standard specification for additively manufactured titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium alloys | Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices. |
- Tensile Testing | The results "did not identify any new or increased risks". | |
- Microstructure Assessment per ASTM F3001 | ||
- Chemical Composition Assessment per ASTM F3001 | ||
Overall Comparison | Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices (K222009, K222082, K231140) in Function and Performance | Concluded to be substantially equivalent in design, function, and performance. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the number of devices (samples) used for each mechanical test. Standard practice for such tests under ASTM typically involves a minimum number of samples (e.g., n=5 or n=6 per condition) to achieve statistical significance. However, the exact sample sizes are not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is implied to be from internal testing conducted by Carlsmed, Inc., as part of their premarket notification submission to the FDA. The country of origin for the data is not specified, but the company is based in Carlsbad, California, USA. The testing is prospective in the sense that it was conducted specifically to demonstrate equivalence for this submission, although the data itself is on device performance.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
- Not Applicable. This is a mechanical/material performance study of an implantable medical device, not a study involving human interpretation of medical images or data. "Ground truth" for these tests refers to the objective physical measurements against established engineering standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable. No human adjudication process is involved as it's not an interpretive or diagnostic study.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and effect size:
- No. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic or AI-assisted diagnostic devices. This device is an implantable interbody fusion device, and its performance is assessed via mechanical and material properties, not human reader accuracy with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone Performance Study was done:
- Yes (in principle for mechanical device testing). The "Discussion of Non-Clinical Testing/Performance Data" describes tests performed on the device itself (e.g., static/dynamic compression, tensile testing) to evaluate its mechanical and material properties against established standards. These tests are performed on the device samples in a laboratory setting, independent of human clinical application for their evaluation of device performance in terms of strength, integrity, etc.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The "ground truth" for this study is established by validated engineering standards and specifications (ASTM F2077-18 for mechanical properties and ASTM F3001-14 for material properties). The performance of the devices is measured against the requirements outlined in these standards and compared to the performance of predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no training set in the context of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, this question does not apply.

This document describes the regulatory clearance for the aprevo® family of devices (ALIF, LLIF, TLIF, ALIF-X). It is a 510(k) submission, which means the manufacturer is demonstrating that their device is "substantially equivalent" to already legally marketed predicate devices.
Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) submission are typically based on demonstrating that the new device performs as safely and effectively as predicates, often through mechanical testing and equivalence to existing devices. There isn't an "AI-like" performance criteria table in this context because it's a physical medical device clearance, not an AI/ML software clearance.
However, based on the provided text, I can extract the information relevant to the performance testing and conclusions:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by 510(k) process) | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
---|---|
Device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices regarding indications, design, function, and performance. | Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices (K222082 and K222009) with respect to indications for use, design, function, and performance. |
Manufacturing processes are robust and sensitive. | Manufacturing Sensitivity Analyses were conducted. |
Manufacturing processes are validated. | Manufacturing Validation Activities were conducted. |
Mechanical performance meets established standards for intervertebral fusion devices. | Mechanical Testing per ASTM F2077 was conducted. (This standard specifies mechanical testing for intervertebral body fusion devices.) The implication is that the device met the requirements of this standard, demonstrating appropriate strength, fatigue resistance, and other mechanical properties for its intended use. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical data or patient-level data. The performance evaluations mentioned are related to mechanical testing and manufacturing processes. For mechanical testing (ASTM F2077), specific sample sizes of the device are tested. For manufacturing sensitivity and validation, these typically involve testing multiple batches or units during the manufacturing process. The document does not provide these specific numbers or the "provenance" of such samples (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). These details would typically be found in the actual test reports submitted to the FDA, not necessarily summarized in the 510(k) letter or summary.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission for a physical interbody fusion device. "Ground truth" established by experts is typically relevant for diagnostic or AI/ML-driven devices where human interpretation is being evaluated against an algorithm. Here, the "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by technical standards (like ASTM F2077) and engineering principles.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used to resolve disagreements among human experts in evaluating diagnostic images or clinical scenarios, which is not the type of evaluation described for this device.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done and is not indicated for this type of physical medical device clearance (interbody fusion device). MRMC studies are primarily used for evaluating diagnostic imaging devices or AI tools where human readers are interpreting medical images. There is no mention of AI assistance in relation to human interpretation in this document.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an algorithm or software that performs standalone diagnostic functions.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
For the mechanical performance testing, the "ground truth" is established by engineering standards and specifications, specifically ASTM F2077. This standard outlines the methodology and acceptance criteria for mechanical testing of intervertebral body fusion devices. For manufacturing processes, the "ground truth" involves validated process parameters and quality control metrics.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML-driven device that requires a "training set" of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable. As above, there is no "training set" for this device.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "aprevo® anterior lumbar interbody fusion device with interfixation (ALIF-X)". It describes the device, its intended use, and the performance testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
However, the document does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML device assessment, nor does it discuss clinical performance metrics, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.
The "performance data" section only lists various mechanical tests (static axial compression, compression shear, dynamic axial compression, dynamic compression shear, subsidence, static screw pushout testing) and a "Clinical Evaluation of Interfixated Implant Usability, Fit and Accuracy." These are typical engineering and usability tests for an implantable medical device, not a study of AI/ML algorithm performance. The conclusion states that the mechanical performance is sufficient for its intended use and substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, which pertains to the acceptance criteria and study details for an AI/ML device, based on the given FDA 510(k) summary for a physical medical implant.
