No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as a "Fixation System" used to address various spinal conditions such as trauma, instability, deformity, and degenerative disc disease, indicating its use in treating and ameliorating a disease or injury, thus qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
The text describes a surgical fixation system used to stabilize the spine, which is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states that the AXIS® Fixation System consists of bone plates, screws, and associated instruments, 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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The AXIS® Fixation System is described as a system of bone plates, screws, and instruments used for spinal fixation. These are implanted directly into the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide fixation for the spine in cases of trauma, instability, failed fusions, and degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The information provided clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant system used to stabilize the spine, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AXIS® Fixation System may be used from the C2 to T3 (inclusive) spinal levels for the following indications: (1) trauma, including spinal fractures and/or dislocations; (2) cervical instability or deformity; (3) pseudarthrosis or failed previous fusions; and (4) degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies; and/or degenerative disc disease of the facets with instability. Spinal screw fixation is to be achieved with posterior pedicle and/or lateral mass screws and plates implanted from C2 to T3 levels inclusively. Supplemental posterior fixation with the ATLASTM Cable must be used. The AXIS® Fixation System must be used with autograft or allograft.

Device Description
The AXIS® Fixation System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of bone plates, screws, and associated instruments. Fixation is provided by bone screws inserted into the lateral masses of the cervical spine using a posterior approach. The AXIS® Fixation System implant components are made of titanium alloy. Titanium alloy and stainless steel implants should not be used together in a spinal construct. The AXIS® Fixation System components are supplied non-sterile.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.
(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
