Intended Use
SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e. fracture). The SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is intended to be used with SYNTHES® supplemental internal fixation systems, e.g., ATLP, Ventrofix, TSLP, and USS, Dual Opening USS, Small Stature USS, and Click'X. The interior of the spacer component of the SYNTHES® SynMesh® Spacer can be packed with bone. SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period.
Device Description
The SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is a titanium vertebral body replacement device used in conjunction with supplemental internal fixation to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following corpectomy / vertebrectomy.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical vertebral body replacement device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a "vertebral body replacement device intended for use... to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma," which directly addresses a medical condition or ailment, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is a vertebral body replacement device, designed to provide structural support, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "titanium vertebral body replacement device," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

No, 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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is a vertebral body replacement device made of titanium. It is surgically implanted into the spine to provide structural support.
  • Intended Use: Its intended use is to replace a damaged vertebral body due to tumor or trauma and provide anterior spinal column support. This is a surgical implant, not a device used for testing samples outside the body.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for structural support within the body, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
