The VERTEBRON PSS™ Pedicle Screw System is intended for non-cervical, nonpedicle 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; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The VERTEBRON PSS™ Pedicle Screw System is intended for non cervical pedicle fixation for the following indications: spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4 at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment); trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

The modified VERTEBRON PSS™ Pedicle Screw System is comprised of non-sterile, single use, titanium alloy components. The VERTEBRON PSS™ Pedicle Screw System attaches to the vertebral body by means of screws to the non-cervical spine and allows a surgeon to build a spinal implant construct. This system's design is intended to stabilize the spinal operative site during the fusion process of a bone graft in the disc space. The VERTEBRON PSS™ Pedicle Screw System is made up of rods, multi-axial and standard screws, hooks and locking caps. This submission adds Curved Rods and Screw Spacers.

The information primarily concerns the regulatory approval of a medical device, specifically the VERTEBRON PSS Pedicle Screw System, based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study evaluating its performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria using AI or image analysis. Therefore, most of the requested fields are not applicable to the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of the available and unavailable information based on your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. The document describes a medical device (pedicle screw system), not an AI/image analysis software that would have a test set of data. The testing mentioned (ASTM F1717) refers to mechanical testing of the physical device.
• Data Provenance: Not applicable.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

• Number of Experts: Not applicable. This information would be relevant for establishing ground truth for an AI/image analysis device.
• Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication Method:

• Adjudication Method: Not applicable. This is typically used in studies where multiple experts interpret data to establish a ground truth, which is not described here.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

• MRMC Study Done: No. The document describes a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (Pedicle Screw System), not an AI/image interpretation device that would involve human readers.
• Effect Size of Human Readers' Improvement with AI: Not applicable.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:

• Standalone Study Done: Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

• Type of Ground Truth: Not applicable. For the mechanical testing (ASTM F1717), the "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications and performance characteristics of the predicate devices. This is not the same as ground truth for an AI/image analysis system (e.g., pathology, expert consensus).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

• Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

• Ground Truth for Training Set Establishment: Not applicable.

Summary based on the provided text:

The provided 510(k) summary for the VERTEBRON PSS Pedicle Screw System describes a submission for a physical medical device, not an AI or image analysis software. The device's approval is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (VERTEBRON PSS Pedicle Screw System K071376, K051716, K043152 & K033352) through mechanical testing in accordance with ASTM F1717.

Therefore, the concepts of "acceptance criteria" and "study proving the device meets acceptance criteria" as defined by your request (referring to AI/image analysis performance metrics, ground truth, expert review, sample sizes for training/test sets, etc.) are not applicable to this document. The "study" mentioned is the mechanical testing to show substantial equivalence, not a clinical performance study with human readers or AI algorithms.
