Intended Use
The Pioneer Vertebral Spacer is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Pioneer Vertebral Spacer is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Pioneer Vertebral Spacer is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column, even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period of time. The system must be used with the Pioneer Quantum Pedicle Screw System or supplemental internal fixation systems cleared for the conditions listed above (i.e., tumor or trauma of T1-L5). The interior of the Pioneer Vertebral Spacer implant can be packed with bone.
Device Description
The Pioneer Vertebral Spacer is a radiolucent vertebral body replacement device of various heights and footprints used in conjunction with supplemental internal fixation to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following corpectomy.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical vertebral spacer and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
This device is intended to treat tumors and fractures, and restore height and biomechanical integrity, which are therapeutic actions.

No

This device is a vertebral spacer intended for surgical implantation to replace a diseased or fractured vertebral body and restore spinal column integrity. It is a therapeutic implant, not a diagnostic tool.

No

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

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Pioneer Vertebral Spacer is a physical implant used to replace a diseased or fractured vertebral body in the spine. It is a structural device implanted directly into the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on biological markers.

Therefore, the Pioneer Vertebral Spacer falls under the category of an implantable surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
