The CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar, and/or sacral spine. The CD HORIZON® Spinal System implant components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with cach construct being tailor-made for the individual case. If necessary, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System can be connected to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System through a rod connector.

The CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor: pseudarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion.

When used in a percutaneous, non-cervical, posterior approach with the SEXTANT instrumentation, the CD HORIZON® screws are intended for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion.

Except for hooks, when used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system, CD HORIZON® components such as ECLIPSE® components are intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion.

The CD HORIZON® SPIRE Plate is posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device, intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1 - S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous process for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc diseasc - defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies; spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); and/or tumor.

The CD HORIZON® LEGACY 3.5mm rod and associated components, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system of the non-cervical posterior spine in skeletally mature patients, are indicated for one or more of the following: (1) degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, (2) fracture, (3) dislocation, (4) scoliosis, (6) spinal tumor, and/or (7) failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).

In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the CD HORIZON® LEGACY 3.5mm rod and associated components, are indicated for skeletally mature patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass.

When used as a pedicle screw system in skeletally mature patients, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System PEEK rods and associated components are intended to provided immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine: (1) degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, (2) kyphosis, and/or (3) failed previous fusion. Additionally, when used as a pedicle screw device, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System PEEK rod constructs are indicated for use in patients who: (1) are receiving fusion with autogenous graft only, (2) who are having the device attached to the lumbar or sacral spine, and/or (3) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass.

In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System rods may be connected to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System with the VERTEX™ rod connector. Refer to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System Package Insert for a list of the VERTEX™ indications of use.

The CD HORIZON® Spinal System consists of a variety of rods, hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® plates, staples, and other connecting components used to build a spinal construct. Instrumentation is also available to facilitate implantation of the device components.

The CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar, and/or sacral spine.

If necessary, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System can be connected to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System through a rod connector.

Certain implant components from other Medironic Sofamor Danck spinal systems van be used with the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. These components include TSRH® rods, hooks, screws, plates, CROSSLINK® plates, connectors, staples and washers; GDLH® rods, connectors and CROSSLINK® bar and connectors; LIBERTY® rods and screws; DYNALOK PLUS® bolts; and Medtronic Sofamor Danek Multi-Axial rods and screws.

CD HORIZON® hooks are intended for posterior use only. CD HORIZON® staples and CD HORIZON® ECLIPSE® rods and screws are intended for anterior use only. However, for patients of smaller stature, CD HORIZON® 4.5mm rods and associated components may be used posteriorly.

The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to add sterile PEEK rods to the CD HORIZON® Spinal System.

The provided text is related to a 510(k) submission for the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, specifically for the addition of sterile PEEK rods. This document is a summary of safety and effectiveness, and subsequently, an FDA clearance letter for substantial equivalence.

Crucially, this document does not describe a study that involves an AI/ML device, nor does it provide acceptance criteria or performance metrics in the way one would for such a device.

Instead, it's a submission for a medical device (spinal implant), and the "study" referred to is a demonstration of substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. This is a very different type of evaluation from what an AI/ML product would undergo.

Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample size, ground truth, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance cannot be extracted from this document, as it pertains to a different type of medical device clearance process.

The document states:

VI. Substantial Equivalence

"Documentation, including a sterilization validation report, was provided which demonstrated the subject rods to be substantially equivalent to predicate CD HORIZON® PEEK components previously cleared in K050809 (SE 06/14/05)."

The core "acceptance criteria" here is that the new PEEK rods are "substantially equivalent" in terms of safety and effectiveness to predicate devices already on the market (K050809). The "study" that proves this is the documentation provided in the 510(k) submission, which for non-AI devices typically includes:

• Comparison to predicate device: Detailing similarities in indications, technological characteristics, and performance.
• Performance testing: This would involve non-clinical (e.g., mechanical, material, biocompatibility) testing to demonstrate that the new device meets established standards and performs comparably to the predicate. The document mentions a "sterilization validation report" as an example.
• Clinical data (if required): For spinal implants, clinical data might be used if there are significant technological differences or new indications that cannot be adequately assessed through non-clinical means. However, for a simple material addition like PEEK rods that are substantially equivalent, extensive clinical trials might not be required for 510(k) clearance.

In summary, as per the provided text, the device is a spinal implant, not an AI/ML algorithm. The "study" involved demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is a regulatory pathway, not a performance study in the context of AI/ML evaluation.
