Intended Use
The Synthes Anterior Tension Band System is indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach above the bifurcation of the great vessels or via the anterior surgical approach, below the bifurcation of the great vessels. This system is indicated in the treatment of lumbar and lumbosacral (L1 - S1) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation and subluxation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), pseudoarthrosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, lordotic deformities of the spine, spinal stenosis, or a failed previous spine surgery.
Device Description
The Synthes Anterior Tension Band System consists of a range of plate sizes and 5.5 mm cancellous screws with a locking head. The plates attach to the anterior or anterolateral aspect of the vertebral body of the lumbar / lumbosacral spine (levels L1-S1) and provide stabilization to permit the biological process of spinal fusion to occur. All components are manufactured from Titanium alloy.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal stabilization and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the treatment of pain and instability in the spine, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device is a system of plates and screws used for stabilization in spine surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components (plates and screws) made of Titanium alloy, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used in surgical procedures to treat spinal instability. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of plates and screws designed for implantation into the spine to provide stabilization. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or any diagnostic purpose.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Hoffman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
