Intended Use
The Easyspine System is a posterior, noncervical pedicle and non-pedicle system 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 of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine: - Degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) - Spondylolisthesis - Trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation) - Spinal stenosis - Deformities or curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) - Tumor - Pseudoarthrosis - Failed previous fusion
Device Description
The Easyspine System is designed to aid in the surgical correction of several types of spinal conditions. This system is intended only to provide stabilization during the development of a solid fusion with a bone graft. These implants are intended to be removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. Easyspine® consists of sacral and pedicle screws, cross-connections, rods of different rigidities and hooks. Specialized associated instrumentation is designed for implantation of these devices and for the distraction, compression or reduction of the lumbar and thoracic spine.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various acute and chronic instabilities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine, which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an implantable system for spinal stabilization, designed to aid in surgical correction and promote fusion. Its purpose is therapeutic (stabilization and correction), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a medical condition).

No

The device description explicitly states that the Easyspine System consists of physical implants such as screws, cross-connections, rods, and hooks, along with associated instrumentation for implantation. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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.
  • Easyspine System Function: The provided text clearly describes the Easyspine System as a surgical implant used to stabilize the spine during fusion. It is a physical device implanted within the body, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical stabilization of the spine, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Device Description: The description details components like screws, rods, and hooks, which are surgical implants, not diagnostic reagents or instruments.

The Easyspine System is a surgical implant/device, not an IVD.

§ 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.
