Intended Use
The Endius Spinal Fixation System is indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Levels of fixation are the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The Endius Spinal Fixation System is a pedicle screw system intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The Endius Spinal Fixation System is also indicated for pedicle screw fixation for severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1, in skeletally mature patients, when autogenous bone graft is used, when affixed to the posterior lumbosacral spine, and intended to be removed after solid fusion is obtained. Levels of fixation are L3-S1. In addition, the Endius Spinal Fixation System, when not used with pedicle screws, is indicated for posterior hook and sacral screw fixation from T1 to the ilium/sacrum. The non-pedicle screw indications are spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease (discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), deformities (scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis), tumor, fracture, and previously failed fusion surgery.
Device Description
The Endius Spinal Fixation System is a system that is intended to be used for posterior lumbar fusion procedures. The system is manufactured from titanium which complies with ASTM F136. The components, which are included as part of the system, include screws, rods, plates, and accessory connection components.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a spinal fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a "Spinal Fixation System" intended to provide "immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of instabilities or deformities." This directly addresses medical conditions and aims to restore function, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No.

The Endius Spinal Fixation System is described as a system for posterior lumbar fusion procedures, consisting of components like screws, rods, and plates, intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. It is a treatment device, not one that identifies or investigates the cause or nature of a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a system manufactured from titanium and includes physical components like screws, rods, and plates. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Endius Spinal Fixation System is described as a system of screws, rods, plates, and accessory components made of titanium, intended for surgical implantation to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. Its intended use is for treating various spinal conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, fractures, deformities, tumors, and failed fusions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of this device being used to test samples from the body, analyze biological markers, or provide diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis. It is a physical implant used in a surgical procedure.

Therefore, the Endius Spinal Fixation System falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
