Intended Use
The StaXx™ FX System is indicated for use in the reduction of spinal fractures. It is intended to be used in combination with Stryker Spineplex™ Radiopaque Bone Cement.
Device Description
The StaXx™ FX System is a vertebral fracture reduction device composed of stackable wafers fabricated from preformed PMMA. The System includes a base wafer fabricated from PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% Barium Sulfate. The wafers are designed to be inserted incrementally into the vertebral body to form a column that provides the desired fracture reduction. Twenty-four wafers are provided per package. The wafers are provided in one width (8mm) with three lengths (20mm, 25mm, 30mm)
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and physical design of the device components (wafers, bone cement) for fracture reduction. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as being used for "reduction of spinal fractures," which is a direct treatment for a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a "vertebral fracture reduction device" and its intended use is "in the reduction of spinal fractures." This indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is composed of physical components (wafers fabricated from PMMA and PEEK-OPTIMA) and is a vertebral fracture reduction device, not a software application.

Based on the provided information, the StaXx™ FX System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "in the reduction of spinal fractures." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (wafers) made of PMMA and PEEK, designed to be inserted into the vertebral body. This is a surgical device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The StaXx™ FX System does not fit this description.
