Yes
The device is intended for various medical conditions of the spine, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, fractures, and tumors, which are therapeutic indications. It is designed to provide stabilization and promote fusion, directly contributing to the treatment of these conditions.

No

The CD HORIZON® system is described as a spinal fixation system, consisting of various components like rods, hooks, and screws, intended for conditions like spondylolisthesis, fracture, and scoliosis. Its purpose is to stabilize the spine and promote fusion, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details various physical components like rods, hooks, screws, plates, staples, and connecting components made of materials like stainless steel, titanium, and Nitinol. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, the CD HORIZON® system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • The provided text describes the CD HORIZON® system as a spinal fixation system consisting of implants (rods, hooks, screws, etc.) used in surgical procedures to stabilize the spine.
  • The intended uses and device description clearly indicate that this system is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's spine, not for testing biological samples.

Therefore, the CD HORIZON® system falls under the category of a medical device used for surgical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The CD HORIZON® ECLIPSE™ components are intended for the following indications: When used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion.

In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the CD HORIZON® Spirial System rods may be connected to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System with the VERTEX™ rod connector. When connecting to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System in the cervical spine, components are intended for the following indications:

When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the thoracic spine, (C1-T3), the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System is indicated for the following:

DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, failed previous fusion and/or tumors, Hooks and Rods

The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.

Screws/Lateral Connectors

The use of screws (3.5mm and 4.0mm cancellous, and 4.0mm cortical) is limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine, Titanium ATLAS™ Cable and the CD HORIZON® Spinal System may be used with the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System.
