Intended Use
When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the thoracic spine, (C1-T3), the TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System is indicated for the following: DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, failed previous fusion and/or tumors. Hooks and Rods The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine. Screws/Connectors The use of screws is limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. Screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. Titanium ATLAS™ Cable used with the TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System allows for cable attachment to the posterior cervical or thoracic spine.
Device Description
The TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System is intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical and/or upper thoracic spine. The TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System is a posterior system, which consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws and connecting components, which can be rigidly locked to the rod in a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. Titanium ATLAS® cable may be used with this system at the surgeon's discretion. See the package inserts of both systems for labeling limitations. The TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System is fabricated from medical grade titanium, medical grade titanium alloy, and medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Medical grade titanium, medical grade titanium alloy and/or medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum allov may be used together. Never use titanium alloy and/or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy with stainless steel in the same construct. Lastly, the offset connectors contain elastomeric stakes made of silicone adhesive commonly used in implantable medical devices. Do not use with stainless steel.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
This device is intended to promote fusion of the cervical and thoracic spine, treat various spinal conditions (like DDD, spondylolisthesis, fracture), and provide stabilization. These are all therapeutic actions aimed at treating a disease or injury.

No

The device is a spinal fixation system, intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. It is a surgical implant, not a tool for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like rods, hooks, screws, and connecting components fabricated from medical grade metals. It is a hardware-based spinal fixation system.

Based on the provided text, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System is described as a system of implants (rods, hooks, screws, cables) intended to be surgically implanted into the spine to provide immobilization and stabilization.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to promote fusion of the cervical and thoracic spine for various conditions. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a device that is physically implanted into the body for structural support and stabilization, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance bench testing performed for the TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System includes compression fatigue, static compression, and static torsion. The purpose of this testing was to support substantial equivalence to the aforementioned GALAXY™ 3.2 Spinal System. The results of the testing performed on the TRAVERSE™ Spinal Fixation System were equivalent or better than the commercially available GALAXY™ 3.2 Spinal System.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. McInnis:

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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
