Intended Use
The SEMIALTM Spinal Implant is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The device is intended for use as a vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (from T1 to L5) and is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. The SEMIALTM is intended to be implanted singularly. The supplemental internal fixation systems that may be used with the SEMIALTM Spinal Implant are the same as the Curved PEEK Tetris Spinal Implant and include, but are not limited to, DePuy AcroMed titanium plate or rod systems (Kaneda SR, University Plate, M2, ISOLA, VSP, Moss, TiMX, and Profile).
Device Description
The SEMIALTM Spinal implant is a hollow, semi-cylindrical form, slightly curved frame with tapered edges. The upper and lower aspects of the implant are open and the walls feature spikes which assist in the positive anchorage and seating of the implant between the superior and inferior vertebral bodies. The frame is forged from PEEK (PEEK-OPTIMATM LT1), which is radiolucent, and incorporates small Titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) marker pins so the device can be located within the body. The marker pins meet ASTM F-136 and ISO 5832/3. The SEMIALTM Spinal Implant is available in a variety of sizes ranging in height from 9 mm to 49 mm with a enrolling diameter of either 43mm or 38mm and either a 2.5° or a 5.2° angle. A list of SEMIALTM sizes and model numbers maybe found in Appendix A. The provision of varying heights, together with a wedge shaped option, to allow better lordosis control, enables the surgeon to choose the size suited to the individual pathology and anatomical condition. The SEMIALTM may be implanted individually.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material, shape, and dimensions of a spinal implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes

The device replaces a removed vertebral body due to tumor or trauma/fracture, which serves a therapeutic purpose by restoring structural integrity and function.

No

This device is a spinal implant intended to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised. It is a physical implant, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK and Titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • SEMIALTM Spinal Implant Function: The SEMIALTM Spinal Implant is a physical device that is surgically implanted inside the body to replace a vertebral body. It is a structural implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant used for structural support in the spine, not a device for in vitro testing.

§ 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.
