Intended Use
The GATEWAY™ Thoracolumbar Plate System is intended for use in the treatment of thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation and subluxation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, spinal stenosis, or failed previous spine surgery.
Device Description
The GATEWAY™ Thoracolumbar Plate System consists of plates of various lengths to be used with polyaxial or monoaxial REVERE™ screws and variable or fixed bone screws. Polyaxial or monoaxial REVERE™ screws attach to the rod portion of the plate and variable or fixed bone screws are inserted through the plate, for fixation of GATEWAY plates to the vertebral bodies of the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). REVERE™ locking caps are used to connect polyaxial or monoaxial screws to the rod portion of the plate. Optional staples may be used for additional fixation of polyaxial or monoaxial screws to vertebral bodies. Implants are composed of titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136. F1295.

No
The device description and summary of performance studies focus on mechanical components and testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of various spinal instabilities, including fractures, tumors, degenerative disc disease, and spinal deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description indicates that the GATEWAY™ Thoracolumbar Plate System is an implantable system used for fixation in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to treat instability. This is a therapeutic device designed for surgical intervention rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium alloy (plates, screws, locking caps, staples) intended for surgical implantation. This is a hardware-based medical device.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The GATEWAY™ Thoracolumbar Plate System is a surgical implant designed to stabilize the spine. It consists of plates, screws, and other hardware that are physically implanted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat spine instability by providing structural support. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant for structural support of the spine, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
