Intended Use
The SATELLITE™ Spinal System is intended to be inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space from L3 to S1 to help provide stabilization and to help promote intervertebral body fusion. This internal fixation device is intended for, and designed solely for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal. The SATELLITE™ Spinal System is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The SATELLITE™ Spinal System consists of spheres manufactured from either cobalt chrome or medical grade PEEK-OPTIMA LT1, which may be implanted from L3-S1 to provide temporary stabilization in order to help promote fusion.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical spinal implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is an internal fixation device intended to hold bone parts in alignment while they heal and promote intervertebral body fusion, which classifies it as a surgical/implantable device rather than a therapeutic device that actively treats a condition.

No
Explanation: The SATELLITE™ Spinal System is described as an internal fixation device for stabilization and promoting intervertebral body fusion, holding bone parts in alignment while they heal, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of spheres manufactured from physical materials (cobalt chrome or PEEK-OPTIMA LT1), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an internal fixation device intended to be inserted between vertebral bodies to provide stabilization and promote fusion. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the device (spheres made of cobalt chrome or PEEK) and their function within the body. This aligns with a medical device, not a diagnostic product.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SATELLITE™ Spinal System is a medical device, specifically a spinal implant, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

A final rule classifying spinal spheres for use in intervertebral fusion procedures, a preamendments, unclassified device type, into class III (premarket approval), was published on March 30, 2023. See here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/30/2023-06566/medical-devices-orthopedic-devices-classification-of-spinalspheres-for-use-in-intervertebral-fusion. Concurrently, FDA published a final order to require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) for spinal spheres for use in intervertebral fusion procedures. See here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/30/2023-06565/effective-date-of-requirement-for-premarket-approvalapplications-for-spinal-spheres-for-use-in.

Please refer to the aforementioned final rule and final order for current regulatory requirements for this device type.

VI. Product Description

The SATELLITE™ Spinal System consists of spheres manufactured from either cobalt chrome or medical grade PEEK-OPTIMA LT1, which may be implanted from L3-S1 to provide temporary stabilization in order to help promote fusion.

VII Indications

The SATELLITE™ Spinal System is intended to be inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space from L3 to S1 to help provide stabilization and to help promote intervertebral body fusion. This internal fixation device is intended for, and designed solely for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal. The SATELLITE™ Spinal System is intended to be used with bone graft.

VIII Substantial Equivalence

The purpose of this submission was to add PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 spheres with Tantalum markers to the system. Documentation was provided which demonstrated the subject SATELLITE™ Spinal System devices to be substantially equivalent to the cobalt chrome SATELLITE™ Spinal System devices previously cleared in K051320 (SE 09/09/05).

Dear Ms. Scifert:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling:

"The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in motion sparing, non-fusion procedures has not been established."

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements aft the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
