The device description focuses on mechanical components (screws, rods, connectors) and their physical properties and functionality. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine, which makes it a therapeutic device.
No
The LDR Easyspine System is described as a surgical implant (posterior, noncervical, pedicle system) intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly details various physical components like screws, rods, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system for stabilizing the spine in living patients. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details physical components like screws, rods, and connectors, which are used in surgery.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the spine, an anatomical site within the body. IVDs typically analyze samples taken from the body.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The LDR Easyspine System does not fit this description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LDR Easyspine System is a posterior, noncervical, pedicle system 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: spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4 at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment), trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

Device Description
The LDR Easyspine® System consists of various screws, rods and connectors and is intended to provide temporary stabilization following surgery to fuse the thoraco-lumbar spine.
This system includes side-loading polyaxial screws, which allow the surgeon to easily insert the spinal rod using a posterior-lateral loading technique into the fixation components.
The rod opening of the screw heads can be positioned medially or laterally. The polyaxial locking mechanism of the standard screws allows a 20 degree angulation in all directions.
The dual-polyaxial α-screw (alpha screw) provides an additional 5 degrees of angulation to facilitate loading of the rod, even when the difference in pedicular screw angulation is significant relative to the next screw.
Crosslinks (transverse connectors) are provided to increase rotational stiffness of a given construct as desired by the clinician.
Rods consist of a single diameter (6.0mm) yet offer variable stiffness. Multiple lengths of spinal rods are included with this system as is typical for essentially all competitive systems. The variable stiffness/rigidity of the various rod offerings is accomplished by fabricating the rods with a machined flat surface on the rod, from one end to the other, following the longitudinal axis of each rod. Thus, the cross section of the rods (as measured at the flattened area), provide comparable strength and stiffness to other rods available in approved systems.
