Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and the study:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

The document does not specify a numerical sample size for a "test set" in the context of device performance testing. It states: "The subject application provides published clinical outcomes to support the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate." This implies a review of existing literature rather than a new, dedicated clinical study conducted by Medtronic for this 510(k) submission.

• Sample Size (Test Set): Not explicitly stated as a separate "test set" was not created for this submission. The support comes from "published clinical outcomes."
• Data Provenance: The data provenance is described as "published clinical outcomes." No specific country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective is mentioned in this summary.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

Not applicable. As noted above, there was no separate "test set" created by Medtronic for this submission. The clinical evidence relies on published literature regarding the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate. The expertise for establishing the ground truth would therefore reside within the authors and peer-review process of those published studies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as there was no new, specific test set created by Medtronic for this 510(k) where expert adjudication would be required.

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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "No performance testing was required or performed, as this modification for this Special 510(k) relates only to the indications for use." The change is based on a review of published clinical outcomes for the bone graft material, not a comparison of human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

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

Not applicable. This device is a medical implant (intervertebral body fusion system) and not an AI algorithm. Therefore, "standalone algorithm performance" is not relevant to this submission.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for concluding the safety and effectiveness of the expanded indication (use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate) is based on published clinical outcomes. This implies that peer-reviewed literature and clinical evidence from human patients using this type of bone graft material formed the basis for the regulatory decision.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The submission focuses on an expanded indication for an existing, cleared medical device based on clinical evidence for a specific bone graft material.

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

Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the test set. However, it indicates mechanical testing was conducted. For such devices, samples typically refer to individual devices or components tested according to the standards. The provenance of this mechanical performance data would be laboratory testing performed by Medtronic Sofamor Danek, USA Inc.

The document does not provide details on the geographical origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as it pertains to engineering-focused mechanical tests rather than patient studies.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This information is not applicable as the studies described are mechanical engineering tests rather than clinical or observational studies requiring expert consensus for ground truth. The "ground truth" here is defined by established engineering standards (ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267-04) and FDA guidance.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is also not applicable for the same reasons as above. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typical for clinical trials or image interpretation studies to resolve discrepancies in expert opinions. For mechanical testing, the results are objectively measured against predefined pass/fail criteria based on the standards.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Improvement with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an intervertebral body fusion device (an implantable medical device), not an Artificial Intelligence (AI) or diagnostic imaging system. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not done. As mentioned, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for demonstrating device performance was engineering standards and regulatory guidance. Specifically:

• ASTM F2077-11: Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
• ASTM F2267-04: Standard Test Method for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of the Intervertebral Body Fusion Device under Static Axial Compression
• FDA's Guidance document: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device issued June 12, 2007.

The "ground truth" for this submission is performance that meets the established mechanical requirements outlined in these standards and guidance documents.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. This submission describes the testing of a finished medical device against established standards, not the training of a machine learning algorithm.

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

This information is not applicable for the same reason as above. There is no training set mentioned in the context of this device submission for machine learning.

Ask a specific question about this device

The TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System is indicated for interbody fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and are intended for bilateral placement in the lumbar spine. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

The subject TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System consists of vertebral body spacers which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbo-sacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow geometry of the implant allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft material. The TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System also includes instrumentation that enables the surgeon to implant the devices via an open or a minimally invasive posterior approach. The device sizes are available in various height and lordotic angle options. The implant devices are manufactured from medical grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK - OPTIMA® LT1) per ASTM F2026 and also contain tantalum markers per ASTM F-560 so that the position of the implant can be determined on X-ray or other imaging.

Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary for the TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System). It does not contain information about an AI/ML powered device or a clinical study in the typical sense of evaluating diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes through human-in-the-loop or standalone AI performance.

Instead, this 510(k) is for an interbody fusion device, which is a physical implant. The "performance data" and "acceptance criteria" discussed relate to the mechanical properties and safety of the implant, demonstrating its equivalence to existing predicate devices.

Therefore, many of the requested fields pertinent to AI/ML device evaluations (like sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of medical device submission.

I will provide the information that is available in the document regarding its performance criteria and the study that proves it meets them.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Sample Size: Not specified for individual tests. The studies were "pre-clinical studies conducted using worst case TELAMON® devices." This implies a limited number of devices were tested to represent the product line.
• Data Provenance: The studies are pre-clinical (laboratory-based mechanical testing), not human or patient data. Therefore, country of origin or retrospective/prospective distinctions are not applicable in the typical sense.

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

• Not Applicable. The "ground truth" here is the pass/fail criteria of standardized ASTM mechanical tests, not a clinical diagnosis or interpretation requiring expert consensus. The "experts" would be the engineers and technicians conducting the tests and performing the analysis according to the ASTM standards.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

• Not Applicable. This refers to clinical study data adjudication. The mechanical tests follow specific ASTM protocols. Adherence to these protocols is self-contained within the test methodology.

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:

• Not Applicable. This is a physical implant, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device.

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

• Not Applicable. This is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

• For mechanical performance: The ground truth implicitly refers to the specified performance requirements and acceptance limits defined by the ASTM standards (F2077-03 and F2267-04) for interbody fusion devices, as well as comparison to the performance of legally marketed predicate devices. The "ground truth" is that the device must meet or exceed the performance of the predicate devices under these standardized tests.

8. The sample size for the training set:

• Not Applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model for this physical medical device.

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 is irrelevant to this device submission.

Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:

The "study" that proves the TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System meets its acceptance criteria consists of pre-clinical mechanical and material testing. Specifically, the submission states:

• "The following pre-clinical studies were conducted using worst case TELAMON® devices: static and dynamic compression; and static and dynamic compression shear per ASTM F2077-03; and subsidence per ASTM F2267-04."

The results of these tests, when compared to legally marketed predicate devices, demonstrated that the TELAMON® PEEK Spinal System was "substantially equivalent." This substantial equivalence, based on similar design, materials, intended use, and comparable mechanical test results, formed the basis for its 510(k) clearance by the FDA. The acceptance criterion was primarily meeting comparable performance to already-cleared predicate devices under standardized engineering tests, thereby demonstrating similar safety and effectiveness.
