Intended Use
The TranS1® Facet Screws are to be used in conjunction with the TranS1® AxiaLIFTM System which includes the TranS1® 3D Axial Rod™, in order to create an anterior/posterior fixation construct as an aid to fusion. The AxiaLIFTM System is indicated for patients requiring fusion to treat pseudoarthrosis, unsuccessful previous fusion, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis (Grade 1 or 2), or degenerative disc disease as defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The AxiaLIFTM System is not intended to treat severe scoliosis, severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4), tumor, or trauma. Its usage is limited to anterior supplemental fixation of the lumbar spine at L5-S1 in conjunction with legally marketed facet and pedicle screw systems. The facet screws may be implanted using one of two techniques: transfacetpedicular or translaminar. The screws are inserted bilaterally through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint and into the pedicle. Alternatively, the facet screws may be cross inserted from the base of the spinous process into the opposite lamina and across the facet joint into the base of the lower vertebral transverse process.
Device Description
The TranS1® Facet Screws are made of medical grade titanium alloy conforming to such standards as ASTM F-136 and/or ISO 5832-3 or ASTM F-138 Stainless Steel.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (facet screws) and its intended use in spinal fusion. 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" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used to aid in spinal fusion, treating conditions such as pseudoarthrosis, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative disc disease, which are therapeutic interventions.

No.
The TransS1® Facet Screws are an implantable device used as an aid to fusion in the lumbar spine, specifically for treatment purposes rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made of medical grade titanium alloy, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant (facet screws) used for spinal fusion. It is physically implanted into the patient's body to provide structural support and aid in the fusion process.
  • Lack of Testing on Samples: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze or test any biological samples. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the TranS1® Facet Screws are a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Substantial Equivalence

Documentation was provided to demonstrate that the TranS1® Facet Screws are substantially equivalent to the Medtronic Sofamor Danek Townley Transfacetpedicular Screw Fixation System (K003928) and the Sofamore Danek Transfacetpedicular Screw Fixation System (K953076). The TranS1 devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in intended use, level of attachment, materials, labeling, sterilization, and technological characteristics. The range of sizes of the TranS1 devices is identical to, or a subset of, the range of sizes of the predicate devices.
