    Intended Use

    The AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level may be treated with the AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System.
    Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System.
    The AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System is designed for use with autogenous bone graft. The system is also intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

    Device Description

    The AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System consists of implants and trials that are compatible with all previously cleared AUDERE instruments. The AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System may be implanted bilaterally using a posterior (PLIF) approach, or as a single device employing a transforaminal (TLIF) approach.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a medical device, the AUDERE Lumbar Spacer System, and its FDA 510(k) clearance (K193457). However, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria for an AI/algorithm-based device, nor does it detail a study proving device performance in the context of AI.

    This document is for a physical implantable medical device (intervertebral body fusion device), not a software or AI-driven diagnostic/treatment device. The performance data section refers to non-clinical mechanical testing (e.g., static axial compression, dynamic axial compression, expulsion, subsidence) demonstrating the physical strength and durability of the implant, not the diagnostic or analytical performance of an algorithm.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/algorithm device from the provided text. The questions about sample size, data provenance, ground truth, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable to this document.

    Intended Use

    The Spectrum Spine Expandable Cages (SSEC) are interbody fusion devices intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). 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 at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).

    SSEC implants are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation.

    Device Description

    The Spectrum Spine Expandable Cages (SSEC) are lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The SSEC are provided in different shapes to accommodate a lateral surgical approach to the lumbar spine and can expand to the desired height and varying degrees of lordosis. The devices are available in various heights and geometric options to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. These spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. Protrusions on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to resist expulsion. SSEC implants are manufactured from radiolucent PEEK (per ASTM 2026), titanium alloy (per ASTM F136), and tantalum markers (per ASTM F560).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Spectrum Spine Expandable Cages (SSEC)". This type of regulatory submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on a clinical study for AI performance.

    Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and study data for an AI-powered device. Specifically, it lacks:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI
    • Sample size and data provenance for an AI test set
    • Number and qualifications of experts for AI ground truth establishment
    • Adjudication methods for AI test set
    • Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study results
    • Standalone AI performance
    • Type of ground truth used for AI
    • Training set sample size and ground truth establishment for AI

    The information within the document pertains to mechanical and material testing of an intervertebral fusion device (implants), which are entirely different types of tests than those required for an AI-based medical device. The "Performance Data" section discusses:

    • Static Axial Compression per ASTM F2077
    • Static Compressive Shear per ASTM F2077
    • Static Subsidence per ASTM F2267 and ASTM F2077
    • Static Expulsion
    • Dynamic Axial Compression per ASTM F2077
    • Dynamic Compressive Shear per ASTM F2077

    These are all mechanical tests to ensure the physical integrity and durability of the spinal implant, not performance metrics for an AI algorithm.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a marketing clearance (510(k)) for a medical device, specifically an intervertebral body fusion device. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices based on mechanical and material testing, rather than clinical performance or AI algorithm performance.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI algorithms, human-in-the-loop studies, multi-reader multi-case studies, and ground truth establishment for AI training/testing cannot be extracted from this document. This document describes engineering performance tests, not clinical or AI performance studies.

    Here's what can be extracted related to the device and its testing:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document lists performance tests conducted, but does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria or the quantitative results of these tests. It only states that the results "show that the strength of the Foundation™ 3D Interbody is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices."

    Test ModeAcceptance Criteria (from document)Reported Device Performance (from document)
    Static axial compressionNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Static torsionNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Static compressive shearNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Dynamic axial compressionNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Dynamic torsionNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Dynamic compressive shearNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    SubsidenceNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    ExpulsionNot specified (implied to meet predicate equivalence)Sufficient for intended use; substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

    Regarding the other points, the document does not contain the required information:

    • 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable for mechanical/material testing.
    • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
    • 4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    • 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: This is not an AI/software device.
    • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
    • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable, as this refers to physical/mechanical properties, not diagnostic accuracy.
    • 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable (no AI training involved).
    • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable (no AI training involved).

    In summary, this document is a 510(k) clearance for a physical medical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic device, and therefore does not contain information about AI acceptance criteria, clinical study designs for AI, or ground truth establishment for patient data. The "performance data" section refers to mechanical engineering tests demonstrating the device's physical strength and equivalence to predicate devices, not its diagnostic or clinical efficacy in a patient population aided by an algorithm.

    Intended Use

    The VIRTU Lumbar Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthessis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level may be treated with the VIRTU Lumbar Spacer System.

    Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the VIRTU PLIF/TLIF System.

    The VIRTU Lumbar Spacer System is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The system is also intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

    Device Description

    The VIRTU Posterior Lumbar Spacer System consists of implants, trials and instruments. The VIRTU Lumbar Spacer System may be implanted bilaterally using a posterior (PLIF) approach, or as a single device employing a transforaminal (TLIF) approach.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "VIRTU Lumbar Spacer System", a medical device. As such, it does not present independent clinical studies or acceptance criteria for AI/ML device performance. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on non-clinical performance data.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/ML device performance (like sample size for test set, ground truth experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set size, etc.) are not applicable to this submission.

    However, I can extract information related to the device's non-clinical performance acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets them.

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Based on the document, the acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to demonstrating performance "sufficient for its intended use" and "substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices." While specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided text, the device was tested against recognized ASTM standards. The reported device performance is that it met these standards and was found to be substantially equivalent.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    Static Axial Compression: Sufficient for intended use and substantially equivalent to predicate devices (per modified ASTM 2077-11)Met the requirements, indicating sufficient strength for intended use.
    Dynamic Axial Compression: Sufficient for intended use and substantially equivalent to predicate devices (per ASTM 2077-11)Met the requirements, indicating sufficient strength for intended use.
    Expulsion: Sufficient for intended use (per ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02)Met the requirements, indicating stability.
    Subsidence: Sufficient for intended use (per ASTM F2267)Met the requirements, indicating acceptable resistance to subsidence.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    The document does not specify the sample size for the mechanical tests. The data provenance is "non-clinical testing" conducted by the submitter (Met 1 Technologies, LLC). This is laboratory testing, not human patient data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable. This is mechanical testing to established engineering standards, not human expert consensus. The "ground truth" is adherence to the specified ASTM testing methodologies and achieving results comparable to predicate devices.

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

    Not applicable. This is mechanical testing, not a clinical trial with human disagreement.

    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 spinal implant device, not an AI diagnostic tool.

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

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

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    For the non-clinical performance data, the "ground truth" is adherence to established mechanical testing standards (ASTM standards) and the resultant data demonstrating the device's mechanical properties. The benchmark for "sufficient" is implied to be comparable performance to predicate devices.

    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.

Teeth engage the implant into the adjacent endplates.

    The Luna 360 Implant is manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK Optima LT-1), stainless steel, tantalum, and silicone lubricant (NuSil MED-360).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Luna 360 Interbody Fusion System." This document is primarily concerned with establishing substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than presenting a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically found in AI/ML medical device submissions.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported performance, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods is not available in the provided text, as this type of information is generally not required for this specific device type and approval pathway.

    The device is an intervertebral body fusion device, not an AI/ML algorithm, and thus the concepts of "acceptance criteria" for algorithm performance, "test set," "training set," "ground truth," "MRMC studies," or "standalone performance" as they relate to AI/ML devices do not apply here.

    However, the document does contain information about performance testing relevant to a medical device's physical and mechanical properties.

    Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    • Acceptance Criteria (Implicit): The implicit acceptance criterion is that the device demonstrates mechanical properties that are "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, particularly regarding static/dynamic compression, shear-compression, torsion, subsidence, and expulsion. The specific numerical thresholds for "acceptance" are not explicitly stated as they would be in an AI/ML performance summary, but rather implied by meeting the standards of similar devices.
    • Reported Device Performance:
      • Mechanical Testing: The tests demonstrated that the Luna Interbody System is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices in static/dynamic compression, static/dynamic shear-compression, static/dynamic torsion testing (per ASTM F2077), static subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing (ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02).
      • Cadaveric Testing: Performed to validate the surgical technique.
      • MR Compatibility Testing: Performed to demonstrate MR safety.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Not applicable for this type of device and testing. The "test set" in this context refers to the physical devices undergoing mechanical and material testing, not a dataset of patient images or clinical outcomes.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    • Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context would likely refer to engineering specifications or validated test methods, rather than expert diagnostic opinions.

    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, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

    • Not applicable.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • For the mechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be the established ASTM standards (F2077, F2267, and ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02) and engineering principles for mechanical performance. For MR compatibility, the "ground truth" would be established MR safety protocols.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this device.

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

    • Not applicable.

    In summary, the provided document details the regulatory clearance of a physical medical device (intervertebral body fusion system) based on substantial equivalence to existing devices, supported by a series of mechanical and material performance tests. It does not involve a clinical study or AI/ML algorithm, and therefore the specific questions related to AI/ML validation are not addressed by the text.

    Intended Use

    The EOI FLXfit Intervertebral body fusion device is indicated for interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have completed six months of non-operative treatment. The EOI FLXfit device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation system and with autogenous bone graft.

    Device Description

    EOI FLXfit Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is made From Titanium (Ti6A14V-ELI per ASTM norm F136). This is an articulated-expanded device with height ranges from 8mm through 14mm. The device also expands in height to provide lordosis angle correction of up to 10°. The FLXfit components are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F136). It is implanted via a Transforaminal approach and supplemented by posterior fixation. The device is made from two titanium segments that are serrated on the superior and inferior surfaces. The titanium segments are attached (linked) with titanium wedge pins that provide the means to form the implant into its final articulated shape.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the FLXfit Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through mechanical testing. It is not a study that evaluates the performance of a device using clinical or reader studies, especially for AI/ML devices. Therefore, a significant portion of the requested information, such as sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth for clinical performance, is not applicable or available in this document.

    However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and reported device performance from the provided mechanical testing data.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document describes performance data based on mechanical testing standards, rather than clinical efficacy. The acceptance criterion for this type of submission is typically "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices, meaning the device performs at least as well as or better than the predicate devices under the specified tests. The reported performance is that the device met these criteria.

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Static Axial Compression (ASTM F2077)The FLXfit's strength was found sufficient for its intended use and substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Static Compression-Shear (ASTM F2077)The FLXfit's strength was found sufficient for its intended use and substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Dynamic Axial Compression (ASTM F2077)The FLXfit's strength was found sufficient for its intended use and substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Dynamic Compression-Shear (ASTM F2077)The FLXfit's strength was found sufficient for its intended use and substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
    Subsidence (ASTM F2267 and ASTM F2077)No specific quantitative reported performance, but results show the strength is sufficient and substantially equivalent.
    Usability cadaveric study (clinical application, expansion mechanism, intra-operative subsidence)No specific quantitative reported performance, but the study was conducted to evaluate clinical application, and the overall conclusion is substantial equivalence.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to physical devices undergoing mechanical testing, not a dataset of patient cases for an AI/ML device. The document does not specify the number of devices tested for each mechanical test.
    • Data Provenance: The data comes from "non-clinical testing" and a "usability cadaveric study." No country of origin is specified, but it can be inferred to be from the manufacturer's testing facilities or contract labs. The nature is experimental, not retrospective or prospective clinical data.

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

    Not applicable. For mechanical testing, "ground truth" is established by the specifications of the ASTM standards themselves, and the measurement of physical properties, not by expert consensus on clinical cases. The usability study involved cadavers, likely evaluated by surgical or biomechanical experts, but no details are provided on their number or qualifications.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies to resolve discrepancies among human readers for establishing ground truth from patient data. This document describes mechanical testing.

    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 medical device (intervertebral body fusion device), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI-related effectiveness analysis was performed or described.

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

    Not applicable. As noted, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    • For Mechanical Testing: The ground truth is defined by the requirements of the ASTM standards (e.g., F2077, F2267) which specify acceptable load-bearing capacities, fatigue life, and other mechanical properties for intervertebral body fusion devices. Substantial equivalence to predicate devices also serves as a comparative "ground truth" for performance.
    • For Usability Cadaveric Study: The ground truth would be the direct observation and evaluation of the device's clinical application, expansion mechanism, and intra-operative subsidence in a cadaveric model by qualified personnel (likely surgeons or biomechanical engineers).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of mechanical testing or regulatory submission for a physical medical device. This term applies to machine learning models.

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

    Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned in this document.
