The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "ENDOSKELETON® Interbody Fusion Device" system. This document addresses an expansion of indication for use rather than a new device submission. As such, it does not contain information typically found in a study demonstrating primary device performance against acceptance criteria.

Specifically, the document states: "No performance testing was required or performed, as this modification for this Special 510(k) relates only to the indications for use."

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them because the provided document explicitly states that no such testing was performed for this specific submission.

The submission is for modifying the indications for use of an already cleared device system to include the use of demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate. The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on:

1. Literature review: The review concluded that there were "no additional risks due to the modification of the indications for these devices to include use with demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate."
2. Similarities to predicate devices: The intended use, material, surgical technique, surface treatment, sterility, and design of the subject devices are the same as the predicate devices.

In summary, the document does not contain the information requested about acceptance criteria or performance study details.

The predicate Endoskeleton® System (K173535, K170399, and K141953) is provided either non-sterile or sterile via gamma irradiation. The Endoskeleton® TA VBR (K032812) was initially manufactured and submitted by Orthovita, Inc (Malvern, PA). Titan Spine has the 510(k) and maintains the device listing for the device.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Titan Spine Endoskeleton® Interbody Fusion Devices and Vertebral Body Replacement Device. This submission is for a modification to the indications for use, specifically to include the use of allograft material. The document explicitly states that no performance testing was required or performed because the modification relates only to the indications for use and not to the device's design, materials, or function.

Therefore, the study design and associated criteria for "device performance" (as would be tested in a typical clinical or technical performance study) are not applicable or reported in this document. The "proving" of acceptance criteria in this context relies on a literature review to establish substantial equivalence with predicate devices, rather than empirical testing of the device itself.

Since the request asks for "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of device performance, and the document clarifies that no such testing was conducted, I will state that directly.

Here's the breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

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

• Sample size for test set: Not applicable. No performance testing was conducted.
• Data provenance: Not applicable. The basis for this 510(k) was a comprehensive literature review.

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

• Not applicable. No test set was used for device performance evaluation. The determination of substantial equivalence was based on a literature review which concluded no additional risks for the modified indications.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

• Not applicable. No test set was used.

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 (spinal implant), not an AI/software device. No MRMC study was conducted.

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

• Not applicable. This is a medical device (spinal implant), not an algorithm/software device.

7. The type of ground truth used

• Not applicable in the context of device performance testing. The "ground truth" for the current submission was established through a comprehensive literature review to assess the safety and equivalence of using allograft material with the existing devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not applicable. No training set was used as no AI/software component is involved, and no performance testing was conducted.

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

• Not applicable. No training set was used.

Summary regarding the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria":

For this specific 510(k) submission (K183557), the device itself (Titan Spine Endoskeleton® Interbody Fusion Devices and VBR Device) was not subjected to new performance testing. The application was a "Special 510(k)" for a modification to the Indications for Use, specifically to add the use of allograft material.

The document explicitly states: "No performance testing was required or performed, as this modification for this Special 510(k) relates only to the indications for use." and "A comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess any additional safety concern for the use of these devices with allograft. The review of the literature concluded that there were no additional risks due to the modification of the indications of these devices to include use with allograft and that these devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."

Therefore, the "proof" that the device (with the expanded indication) meets acceptance criteria comes from a comprehensive literature review demonstrating no additional safety concerns or changes in substantial equivalence due to the inclusion of allograft material. This relies on the established performance and safety profile of the predicate devices and existing knowledge regarding allograft use in similar surgical contexts. There were no specific, quantifiable "acceptance criteria" related to a performance study for this particular submission because no such study was deemed necessary.

Patients should have received 6 weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the device is indicated to be used with autograft bone. The device is a stand-alone system when used with Endoskeleton® TCS integrated screws and when used without the integrated screws it requires additional supplemental fixation cleared for the cervical spine.

The Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device (IBD) implants are available in a variety of sizes with a variety of lordotic angles, to accommodate patient anatomy. Endoskeleton® TCS IBD implants are intended for treatment in Cervical Interbody Fusion used in single placement treatment placed across the disc space, and are designed with a large hollow region in the center to house bone graft material. The purpose of this submission is to change the surface treatment. The device is a stand-alone system when used with Endoskeleton® TCS integrated screws and when used without the integrated screws it requires additional supplemental fixation cleared in the cervical spine. All implantable components are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V-ELI). The only modification being made in this submission is the change to a new surface treatment which was previously cleared by the FDA for the Endoskeleton® System in K141953.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter from the FDA regarding the Endoskeleton® TCS System, an intervertebral body fusion device. The focus of the submission is a change to the surface treatment of the device.

Since this document is a regulatory approval and not a study report, it does not contain the detailed information required to describe acceptance criteria, device performance, and study specifics in the format requested. The document states that the modified device is substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices based on a new surface treatment that was already validated. It explicitly says "no additional testing is needed."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the same way it would be presented for a study. However, I can extract the relevant statements from the document to answer some of your questions, and indicate where the information is not applicable or not provided.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted based on the document:

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

• Acceptance Criteria: The document implies that the acceptance criterion for this submission is "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared predicate devices. Specifically, the key acceptance criterion is that the new surface treatment modification and the overall device "does not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness."
• Reported Device Performance: The document states that the performance is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and that the modification "presents no additional risk during implantation." The performance related to the surface treatment was previously validated with the Endoskeleton® System (K141953).

A table cannot be fully constructed as specific, quantifiable performance metrics for this particular submission are not provided, nor are explicit acceptance criteria beyond "substantial equivalence."

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

• Sample size for the test set: Not applicable and not provided. The document states that "no additional testing is needed" for this submission because the modification (surface treatment) was previously cleared and validated.
• Data provenance: Not applicable.

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

• Not applicable and not provided. This submission relies on the prior validation of the surface treatment and a comparison to predicate devices, not a new clinical test set requiring expert ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

• Not applicable and not provided.

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 for spinal fusion, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI performance metrics are irrelevant to this submission.

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

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

7. The type of ground truth used

• For this specific submission (K153122), the "ground truth" for demonstrating safety and effectiveness relies on the prior validation of the new surface treatment (NanoFIX™) in a previous submission (K141953) and comparative analysis to predicate devices. It also states that "all original design validations were supported" by the addition of the surface treatment.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not applicable and not provided. This is not an AI/machine learning device. The validation mentioned refers to engineering and biocompatibility testing for the surface treatment, not a "training set" in the context of data science.

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

• Not applicable. As noted above, this is not an AI/machine learning device. The "ground truth" for the previously validated surface treatment (K141953) would have been established through relevant in-vitro and potentially in-vivo non-clinical studies to assess its mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and intended biological response, following established regulatory guidelines for medical device components and surface modifications. The document does not detail these prior studies.
