The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system made of titanium alloy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate spinal fusion, which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate the biological process of spinal fusion," which indicates a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. Its purpose is to treat conditions, not to identify or diagnose them.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "temporary implant system" consisting of physical components like "hooks and/or screws connected to rods." This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The Silhouette™ Spinal System is a temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate spinal fusion. It is surgically implanted into the spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for posterior, noncervical pedicle fixation and hook and sacral screw system for various spinal conditions. This involves surgical intervention and the physical stabilization of the spine.
The device's function is mechanical and structural, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Silhouette Spinal System is intended for posterior, noncervical pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e. fracture and dislocation); spinal stenosis; deformities (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion. Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally mature patients.
When used as a hook and sacral screw system, the Silhouette Spinal Fixation System is intended for use in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (as defined by chronic back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), idiopathic scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, kyphotic or lordotic deformity of the spine, loss of stability due to turnors, spinal stenosis, vertebral fracture or dislocation, pseudoarthrosis, and previous failed spinal fusion. When used for this indication, screws of the Silhouette™ Spinal Fixation System are intended for sacral iliac attachment only. Hook and transverse connectors of the system are intended for posterior thoracic and/or lumbar use only. As a whole, the levels of use for the hook and sacral screw fixation of this system are T1 to the sacrum.

Device Description
The Zimmer Spine Silhouette Spinal Fixation System is a temporary implant system used to correct spinal deformity and facilitate the biological process of spinal fusion. This system is intended for the noncervical posterior use in the thoracic, lumbar and sacral areas of the spine. Implants of this system consist of hooks and/or screws connected to rods and are intended to be removed after solid fusion has occurred. The system includes polyaxial screws of varying diameters and lengths, fixed screws of varying diameters and lengths, rods in varving lengths, hooks in varying designs, fixed and adjustable transverse connectors. All implant components are top loading and top tightening. All the implants in this system are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) conforming to ASTM F-136.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.
(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
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to 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). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
