Intended Use
The MEDTRONIC SOFAMOR DANEK PYRAMID® ANTERIOR PLATE Fixation System is indicated for use as an anteriorly placed supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral level below the bifurcation of the vascular structures. When properly used, this system will help provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops. Specific indications include: 1) Degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); 2) Pseudoarthrosis; 3) Spondylolysis; 4) Spondylolisthesis; 5)Fracture; 6) Neoplastic disease; 7) Unsuccessful previous fusion surgery; 8) Lordotic deformities of the spine; 9) Idiopathic thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis; 10) Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis, and/or kyphosis) associated with deficient posterior elements such as that resulting from laminectomy, spina bifida, or myelomenigocele; and/or 11) Neuromuscular deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis, and / or kyphosis) associated with pelvic obliquity.
Device Description
The PYRAMID® ANTERIOR PLATE Fixation System consists of a variety of plates and screws, as well as ancillary products and instrument sets. The PYRAMID® ANTERIOR PLATE Fixation System implant components can be locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. The implant components are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) described by ASTM Standard F136 or ISO 5832-3. Stainless steel and titanium implant components must not be used together in a construct.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system made of plates and screws. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for conditions like degenerative disc disease, pseudoarthrosis, fractures, and deformities, and it helps provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No

The device is described as an anteriorly placed supplemental fixation device for stabilizing the lumbosacral level until spinal fusion develops, rather than for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of plates, screws, and ancillary products, which are physical hardware components.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text describes a surgical implant system (plates and screws) used to stabilize the spine during fusion surgery. It is a physical device implanted within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of biomarkers, or diagnostic information derived from such tests.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MEDTRONIC SOFAMOR DANEK PYRAMID® ANTERIOR PLATE Fixation System is a surgical implant, not 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.
