No

The device description indicates it is an internal fixation device for spinal surgery, which is a treatment tool, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like rods, pedicle screw assemblies (screw, saddle, axle, locking washer, and set screw), indicating it is a hardware 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 provided description clearly states that the SPMA Pedicle Screw System is an "internal fixation device for spinal surgery consisting of rods and pedicle screw assemblies." This is a surgical implant used to stabilize the spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments... as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of... instabilities or deformities of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine." This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is a surgical implant used in the body, not a device used to test samples from the body.

Device Description

The SPMA Pedicle Screw System is an internal fixation device for spinal surgery consisting of rods and pedicle screw assemblies (screw, saddle, axle, locking washer and set screw). The axle that connects the screw to the saddle allows the saddle to be adjusted in a single plane to any angle, up to 60 ° from the midline. Grooves in the head of the screw and in the inferior face of the locking washer interdigitate with the splined surface of the rod to allow the assembly to be rigidly fixed in place when tightened.

Component Description
Rod
SPMA Pedicle Screw System rods are 6.0 mm diameter solid splined cylinders which are provided non-contoured and pre-contoured to accommodate the lordotic curve. Precontoured rods and standard non-contoured rods are available in a variety of lengths. The rods fit into the pedicle screw saddle of the pedicle screw assembly. After the rods are placed in the pedicle screw saddle, the locking washer and set screw are secured to the pedicle screw. The rods are provided in titanium alloy and Co-Cr-Mo alloy.

Pedicle Screw Assembly
Each SPMA pedicle screw assembly consists of a cannulated titanium alloy screw with a proximal articulating saddle held in place with a transverse axle. The axle joining the mating surfaces of the screw and saddle allows for up to 60° angulation from midline in a single plane.

The locking washer is placed atop the rod within the saddle and held in place with the set screw. The grooved design of the locking washer and the proximal end of the screw allow for close interdigitation with the splined surface of the rod, fixing the angle of the saddle.

Additional Components
A series of manual surgical instruments (not subject of this submission) intended to assist the insertion and placement of the implants (pedicle screws, rods, set screws, and locking washers) is included in an instrument tray.
