    AI/ML Overview

    This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, which seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. Therefore, the information provided focuses on comparative data rather than a standalone clinical study with acceptance criteria in the same manner as a de novo or PMA submission might require.

    However, based on the provided text, we can infer some "acceptance criteria" related to magnetic resonance compatibility and how the study "proves" the device meets them.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from ASTM Standards)Reported Device Performance
    Magnetically Induced Torque: Device should exhibit acceptable levels of torque in an MR environment (ASTM F2213)."Results demonstrated compatibility conditions of the subject devices in the MR environment." (Implies acceptable levels were met.)
    Magnetically Induced Displacement Force: Device should exhibit acceptable levels of displacement force in an MR environment (ASTM F2052)."Results demonstrated compatibility conditions of the subject devices in the MR environment." (Implies acceptable levels were met.)
    MR Image Artifacts: Device should produce acceptable levels of image artifacts (ASTM F2119)."Results demonstrated compatibility conditions of the subject devices in the MR environment." (Implies artifacts were within acceptable limits.)
    Radio Frequency Induced Heating: Device should not exhibit excessive heating in an MR environment (ASTM F2182)."Results demonstrated compatibility conditions of the subject devices in the MR environment." (Implies heating was within acceptable limits.)

    Explanation: The "acceptance criteria" here are indirectly established by the selection of specific ASTM standards for magnetic resonance compatibility. The study "proves" the device meets these criteria by performing tests according to these standards and reporting that the "results demonstrated compatibility conditions." While the exact quantitative thresholds are not provided in this summary, the FDA's clearance implies that the performance met the requirements set by these recognized standards for MR safety.


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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document states that "non-clinical testing was conducted in alignment with the following standards." This usually means a set of representative devices or components are tested, but the specific number is not provided in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: The nature of the tests (magnetic resonance compatibility) indicates laboratory testing of the devices themselves, rather than human subject data. Therefore, "country of origin of the data" and "retrospective or prospective" do not directly apply in the traditional sense of clinical studies. The tests were performed to demonstrate that the device materials and design are safe within an MR environment.

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

    This submission is for device clearance based on non-clinical (laboratory) testing for MR compatibility. Therefore, there were no experts used to establish ground truth for a test set in the clinical sense. The "ground truth" is governed by the objective measurements defined by the ASTM standards for MR compatibility.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. As this is non-clinical laboratory testing, there is no adjudication method involving human interpretation or consensus. The data points are quantitative measurements against predefined ASTM standard limits.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

    No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for assessing the impact of AI on diagnostic performance with human readers, which is not the purpose of this submission. This submission is for the clearance of physical medical devices (spinal systems) and their magnetic resonance compatibility labeling.


    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. This submission concerns physical medical devices and their MR compatibility, not an algorithm.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was defined by the specifications and limits within the cited ASTM standards (ASTM F2213, ASTM F2052, ASTM F2119, ASTM F2182) for magnetic resonance compatibility. These standards outline methodologies and acceptable thresholds for torque, displacement force, image artifacts, and heating.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission, as it relates to physical device testing for MR compatibility, not machine learning or AI algorithm development.


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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth to establish for it.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for spinal systems (EXPEDIUM Spine System, VIPER and VIPER 2 Systems) and primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on technological characteristics, materials, and intended use. It does not contain information about the performance or acceptance criteria of a new device or software algorithm, nor does it describe a study proving such a device meets acceptance criteria.

    The document discusses:

    • Device Description: Spinal systems consisting of metallic implants (rods, screws, connectors) intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments.
    • Indications for Use: Treatment of chronic instabilities, deformities, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in pediatric patients.
    • Materials: Commercially pure titanium, titanium alloy, stainless steel, cobalt-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy.
    • Performance Data: References only mechanical testing (ASTM F1717) and optical/visual analysis for corrosion compatibility of materials, stating that these materials are compatible even in aggressive environments for the duration expected for spinal fusion.

    Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, study design (sample size, data provenance, expert review, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance), or ground truth establishment for an AI/software device.

    The document's "Performance Data" section specifically addresses the compatibility of the materials used in the predicate and subject devices, not the performance of a digital health or AI/ML-enabled device. It confirms material compatibility through mechanical testing and corrosion analysis, which is typical for implantable medical devices, but not for software or AI performance related to diagnostic or evaluative tasks.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "PSG 5.5mm Cannulated Pedicle Screw System." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on design, materials, and mechanical performance rather than clinical efficacy studies in the context of AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD). Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, clinical study design, and AI performance metrics are not applicable or available in this submission.

    However, I can extract the information relevant to the device's mechanical performance and what the submission provides in place of clinical study details.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    For medical devices such as pedicle screw systems, "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" are typically defined by engineering standards to ensure mechanical integrity and safety. In this context, the device's performance is compared against these standards and to predicate devices.

    Acceptance Criteria (Standard)Reported Device Performance (Summary)
    Static axial compression bending (per ASTM F1717-13)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to predicates.
    Static torsion (per ASTM F1717-13)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to predicates.
    Dynamic axial compression bending fatigue (per ASTM F1717-13)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to predicates.

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

    The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of devices or test repetitions) used for the mechanical tests. It only states that the device "has been tested" according to the ASTM standards.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is a mechanical implant, not an AI/SaMD that requires expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is adherence to established engineering standards (ASTM F1717-13).

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. Mechanical testing is objective and relies on measurements and adherence to specified test protocols, not human adjudication of results.

    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 device is a pedicle screw system, not an AI/SaMD for diagnostic imaging or decision support. No MRMC study was performed.

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

    Not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for this type of device is defined by engineering standards and established mechanical performance characteristics relevant to spinal implants. Specifically, the ASTM F1717-13 standard dictates the methodologies and expected performance metrics for static and dynamic mechanical integrity. Comparison to legally marketed predicate devices also serves as a benchmark for "ground truth" in terms of acceptable clinical performance and safety.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a mechanical device, not a machine learning algorithm.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable.

    Intended Use

    The DePuy Pulse Thoracolumbar Screw System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

    The DePuy Pulse Thoracolumbar Screw System metallic components are intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and 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.

    Device Description

    The DePuy Pulse Thoracolumbar Screw System consists of a variety of rods, pedicle screws, connectors, set screws and other connection components used to build a spinal construct. The implant components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being made for the individual case.
    The DePuy Pulse Thoracolumbar Screw System also contains Class 1 manual surgical instruments and cases that are considered exempt from premarket notification.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the DePuy Pulse Thoracolumbar Screw System:

    This device is not an AI/ML device, but a physical medical device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/ML specific criteria (such as sample size for test/training sets, ground truth establishment by experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Test Type)Reported Device Performance
    Static compression bending (ASTM F-1717)"The acceptance criteria was/were met."
    Static torsion (ASTM F-1717)"The acceptance criteria was/were met."
    Dynamic compression bending (ASTM F-1717)"The acceptance criteria was/were met."

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, and the testing involved mechanical performance on device components, not a test set of data.

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, and the "ground truth" for mechanical testing is defined by the ASTM F-1717 standard's specifications.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, and mechanical test results are typically objective measurements against a standard, not subject to expert adjudication.

    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

    No. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool, so an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

    No. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm, so standalone performance is not relevant.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by the specified mechanical testing standards (ASTM F-1717) for spinal implant constructs. These standards define the acceptable mechanical properties and behaviors under various loads.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML device requiring a training set with established ground truth.
