    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the UNiD™ Spine Analyzer, a medical image management and processing system, and its submission for FDA 510(k) clearance. Here's information extracted regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

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

    The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a quantitative manner for the "Predictive Models" (Degenerative Predictive Model, Adult Predictive Model, Pediatric Predictive Model). Instead, it states that these additions are "similar to the display of reference and normative data, and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when considered with existing methods of managing spinal compensation."

    For the software as a whole, the acceptance criteria are described indirectly through the validation activities:

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (as stated in the document)
    Software Functionality"The software was tested against the established Software Design Specifications for each of the test plans to assure the device performs as intended."
    Risk Management"The device Hazard analysis was completed per ISO 14971, Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices and IEC 62304, Medical Device Software – Software Life-Cycle Processes, and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards."
    Overall Software Performance"The testing results support that all the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria of each module and interaction of processes." and "The MEDICREA UNiD Spine Analyzer device passed all testing and supports the claims of substantial equivalence and safe operation."
    Usability (Human Factors)"Validation activities included a usability study of the UNiD Spine Analyzer under actual use." This study demonstrated:
    • Comprehension of the Health Care professional with the UNiD Spine Analyzer,
    • Appropriate human factors related to the UNiD Spine Analyzer, and
    • Ease of use of the UNiD Spine Analyzer. |

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

    • Predictive Models: The predictive models (Degenerative, Adult, and Pediatric) were "trained with retrospective longitudinal patient datasets." No specific sample size for these datasets or their provenance (country of origin) is provided.
    • Software Validation/Verification: The document does not specify a separate "test set" sample size for the software validation activities beyond stating that "the software was tested against the established Software Design Specifications."
    • Usability Study: No specific sample size (number of users) is mentioned for the usability study.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The document refers to the predictive models being "trained with retrospective longitudinal patient datasets" but does not detail how the ground truth for these training sets or any potential test sets was established, nor does it mention the involvement or qualifications of experts in this process for external validation. The clinical judgment of healthcare professionals is explicitly stated as required for proper software use, but not for ground truth establishment.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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:

    A multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted or reported for this submission. The document explicitly states: "There was no human clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is identical to the predicate device." The new features (predictive models) are presented as an "additional tool" similar to "display of reference and normative data" and are not claimed to improve human reader performance with a measurable effect size.

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

    The document mentions "Addition of the display of a Predicted Value derived from a static machine-learning based model" when the user views simulated quantitative radiographic parameters. This implies a standalone algorithmic prediction output. However, there are no specific performance metrics or a standalone study reported for the algorithm itself (e.g., accuracy of predictions against ground truth without human intervention).

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

    For the predictive models, the ground truth for the training data was derived from "retrospective longitudinal patient datasets." The specific nature of this ground truth (e.g., direct surgical measurements, post-operative imaging, clinical outcomes) is not explicitly stated, beyond it being used to train models for "predicted spinal compensation."

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    The document states that the predictive models were "trained with retrospective longitudinal patient datasets" but does not specify the sample size for these training sets.

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

    The document states the predictive models were trained using "retrospective longitudinal patient datasets." However, it does not detail the specific methodology for how the ground truth within these datasets was established (e.g., whether it was based on expert review of images, surgical records, or patient outcomes).

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes Medtronic Sofamor Danek's intervertebral body fusion spinal systems and a Special 510(k) submission to update the indications for use. The core of this request is to support the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate in these devices.

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


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Original Indications)Reported Device Performance (New Indication)
    The interbody fusion devices (various Medtronic systems like ANATOMIC PEEK, Capstone, Clydesdale, Cornerstone, Crescent, Divergence, Elevate, Perimeter, Pivox, Sovereign) are indicated for interbody fusion procedures.The new indication for use expands the acceptable bone graft material to include demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate in addition to autogenous bone and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. This applies across all the listed interbody fusion systems.
    These devices are intended to be used with:
    * Autogenous bone graftThe study provided "published clinical outcomes to support the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate" as an adjunct to fusion for these devices.
    * Allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graftThe efficacy and safety of the devices with this new graft material are considered "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices (ARTIC-L™ 3D and ARTIC-XL™ 3D Ti Spinal System with TiONIC™ Technology K190959 and Endoskeleton TA Interbody Fusion Device, etc. K192018) which already support the use of demineralized allograft bone combined with bone marrow aspirate. No new performance testing (mechanical, biocompatibility) was required for this particular submission. This suggests the change is primarily an expansion of an existing material indication based on established clinical data for similar devices.

    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.

    Intended Use

    The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft to facilitate interbody fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is used for patients diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD patients may also have up to Grade I 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. Additionally, the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System can be used to provide anterior column support in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis as an adjunct to pedicle screw fixation. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of nonoperative treatment. These implants may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach.

    Device Description

    The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System consists of PEEK cages of various widths and heights, which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. When used to supplement pedicle screw fixation systems in adult degenerative scoliosis cases, the CLYDESDALE® device is used as a construct anchor and to help restore sagittal and coronal balance.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System, focusing on expanding its indications for use. This document describes a medical device (spinal interbody fusion device) and its regulatory clearance process, not a clinical study or an AI/software device. Therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria, device performance tables, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not applicable or extractable from this type of regulatory submission.

    The document primarily states that:

    • The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is used with autogenous bone graft for interbody fusion.
    • It's intended for patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, potentially with Grade I Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis.
    • The new indication is to provide anterior column support in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis as an adjunct to pedicle screw fixation.
    • The device components are identical to those previously cleared, and no new implants are included.
    • No additional testing was required or performed for this specific 510(k) submission to expand the indication. Instead, the submission relies on existing clearances and published retrospective clinical data for the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System and similar predicate devices (like CAPSTONE® Spinal System).

    The summary discusses the comparability of patient outcomes (pain scores, deformity correction) to those reported in the literature for similar procedures using predicate devices. However, this is not presented as a controlled study with specific acceptance criteria or a direct measurement of "device performance" in the way a diagnostic AI algorithm might be evaluated.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the specific questions because the provided document does not contain the type of study data (e.g., performance metrics against acceptance criteria, ground truth establishment, sample sizes for specific performance tests) that would be relevant to evaluating a novel medical device's performance or an AI algorithm. The document focuses on regulatory equivalence based on existing data and prior clearances.

    Intended Use

    The CAPSTONE® L Spinal System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft to facilitate interbody fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The CAPSTONE® L Spinal System is used for 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 may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach.

    Device Description

    The CAPSTONE® L Spinal System consists of spacers of various widths and heights made of PEEK with tantalum markers. The spacers can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbo-sacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The implant has non-lordotic and 6° lordotic options. The superior and inferior surfaces of the implant are designed with teeth that interact with the surface of the vertebral endplates to aid in resisting expulsion. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The implants are provided sterile by gamma irradiation, and are to be used with supplemental fixation. CAPSTONE® L Spinal System is used with new reusable instrumentation that enables the surgeon to implant the devices via a lateral approach.

    AI/ML Overview

    The CAPSTONE® L Spinal System is a medical device designed for lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The submission document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical mechanical testing.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Static CompressionBased on predicate device performance and FDA guidance (ASTM F2077)Met predetermined acceptance criteria
    Static Compression-ShearBased on predicate device performance and FDA guidance (ASTM F2077)Met predetermined acceptance criteria
    Dynamic CompressionBased on predicate device performance and FDA guidance (ASTM F2077)Met predetermined acceptance criteria
    Dynamic Compression-ShearBased on predicate device performance and FDA guidance (ASTM F2077)Met predetermined acceptance criteria
    Subsidence (Static Axial Compression)Based on predicate device performance and FDA guidance (ASTM F2267)Met predetermined acceptance criteria
    Expulsion TestingBased on predicate device performance and FDA guidanceMet predetermined acceptance criteria

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample size (number of implants tested) for each mechanical test. It only mentions that "All mechanical testing met the predetermined acceptance criteria." The data provenance is from non-clinical tests performed by Medtronic Sofamor Danek. This is retrospective in the sense that the device was manufactured, and then tested, rather than a prospective study design with human subjects.

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

    Not applicable. This study involves mechanical testing of a physical device, not subjective interpretation of data (e.g., images) by experts. The "ground truth" for these tests is the physical behavior of the device under defined loads, measured by standard testing equipment.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. As noted above, this study involves mechanical testing, which does not require an adjudication method by experts. The results are quantitative measurements against predefined criteria.

    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 not an AI/software device and therefore no MRMC study or assessment of human reader improvement with AI assistance was performed.

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical intervertebral body fusion device, not a software algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for these tests is based on established engineering principles, FDA guidance documents, and standardized test methods (ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267). The "ground truth" essentially refers to the expected mechanical performance parameters derived from these standards and comparison to the predicate device's known performance.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is a physical device undergoing mechanical testing, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

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

    Intended Use

    The CD HORIZON® Spinal System with or without SEXTANT® instrumentation is intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct to fusion 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); turnor; pseudarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion.

    Except for hooks, when used as an anterolateral thoracic/Jumbar system. the CD HORIZON® Spinal System may also be used for the same indications as an adjunct to fusion.

    With the exception of degenerative disc disease, the CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ 3.5mm rods and the CD HORIZON® Spinal System PEEK rods and associated components may be used for the aforementioned indications in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion. The 3.5mm rods may be used for the specific pediatric indications noted below.

    When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Additionally, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with the following conditions: spondylolisthesis/spondylolysis and fracture caused by tumor and/or trauma. These devices are to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

    The CD HORIZON® SPIRE™ Plate is a posterior, single level, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the non-cervical spine (TI-S1) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fixation in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (as previously defined); spondylolisthesis; trauma; and/or tumor.

    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.

    Device Description

    The CD HORIZON® Spinal System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® Plates, staples and connecting components, as well as implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems, which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.

    A subset of CD HORIZON® Spinal System components may be used for posterior pedicle screw fixation in pediatric cases. These constructs may be comprised of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods (ranging in diameter from 3.5mm to 6.35mm), hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® Plates, and connecting components. Similarly to the CD HORIZON® implants used in adult cases, these components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.

    The system also includes various instruments used to assist in the implantation of the system via minimally invasive approaches.

    The purpose of this 510(k) was to add additional components to the system, namely 5.5mm diameter SOLERA™ LONGITUDE® rods manufactured out of titanium alloy and modified LONGITUDE® II instruments.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, which is a medical device for spinal fixation. The notification focuses on adding new components to an existing system. As such, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refer to the performance of the new components demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study establishing diagnostic performance of an AI model.

    Here's the information extracted from the provided text, structured to address your points as best as possible given the nature of the device:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Mechanical TestingNot specified, but implied to be related to the performance of predicate devices."For all test methods, the subject devices met the pre-determined acceptance criteria."
    FunctionalityNot specified, but implied to be related to the intended function of the instruments."Tolerance stacks and validation labs were completed to verify and validate that the subject LONGITUDE® II instruments function as intended and meet the pre-determined customer needs."
    Material EquivalenceMaterial (titanium alloy) for rods must be equivalent to previously cleared materials."Non-clinical testing in the form of mechanical testing was not required for the subject LONGITUDE® rods since the only difference between them and the predicate rods was the material, which has previously been cleared in the CD HORIZON® Spinal System."
    Substantial EquivalenceDemonstrated substantial equivalence to identified predicate devices in design features, materials, and indications for use."Based on the test results and additional supporting documentation provided in this pre-market notification, the subject devices demonstrated substantial equivalence to the previously listed predicate devices."

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

    This is not applicable as this is a mechanical medical device component and the "test set" refers to mechanical testing or validation processes for the device itself, not a dataset for an AI algorithm. The document states that "non-clinical mechanical testing was performed in accordance with ASTM F1798." No specific sample sizes for tests (e.g., number of rods tested) or data provenance (e.g., country of origin) are provided.

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

    This is not applicable. "Ground truth" in the context of an AI device refers to a definitively correct label or outcome for data used in performance evaluation, typically established by human experts or pathology. For a mechanical device, performance is evaluated against engineering standards and functional requirements.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are used in studies involving expert interpretation, often for establishing ground truth for AI algorithms. This document describes mechanical and functional testing, not expert interpretation of data.

    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 applicable. This is not an AI device, and therefore no MRMC study or comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance would have been conducted or reported here.

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

    This is not applicable. This document pertains to a physical medical device (spinal system components), not an algorithm or AI.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    This is not applicable in the typical sense for AI. For a mechanical device, "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications, functional requirements, and established performance characteristics of predicate devices. The "truth" is that the new components perform equivalently to the existing, cleared components.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This is not applicable. As this is not an AI device, there is no "training set."

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

    This is not applicable. As this is not an AI device, there is no "training set" or ground truth established in that context.
