The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not related to data analysis or image processing.
No
The device is a temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate spinal fusion, indicated for chronic instabilities or deformities, but it does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition, rather it provides stabilization as an adjunct to fusion.
No
This device is a temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate spinal fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical implants such as hooks, screws, rods, and transverse connectors made from titanium alloy. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a spinal fixation system used to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a temporary implant system consisting of hooks, screws, rods, and connectors made from titanium alloy. These are physical components implanted into the spine.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the Silhouette™ Spinal Fixation System is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when 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: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
