The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical spinal fixation system and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion and is indicated for various medical conditions, including trauma, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative diseases, demonstrating its direct role in treating and managing patient health issues.
No
The device is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion by transfacet fixation, indicating it is a surgical implant device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of Titanium (Ti6Al4V), such as screws and washers, and describes their mechanical properties and sterilization process. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant (facet screws and washers) intended to be surgically placed within the human body to stabilize the spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion by transfacet fixation, which is a surgical procedure.
The device is a surgical implant, not a device used to test samples outside of the body.

Device Description
The SpineFrontier, Inc. CHAMELEON™ Fixation System is designed to provide bilateral, transfacet fixation of the spinal facet joint in the lumbar spine.
The facet screw included in the CHAMELEON™ Fixation System is a partially threaded 4.5mm diameter screw offered in lengths of 30-50mm (in 5mm increments). The device is composed no mairal grade Titanium (Ti6Al4V) that complies with ASTM F-136. The devices are offered with in washer or without a washer.
Washers: Integral to the screw design, washers increase the load bearing area of the screw in contact with the bone. These washers are designed to angulate about the head of the bone screws to provide optimal bony contact over a range of screw trajectories.
The devices are sold non-sterile and are packaged in a clear poly bag. These devices are sterilized by a healthcare professional using Steam Autoclave in accordance to the instructions for use provided by SpineFrontier, Inc., as well as the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the Autoclave.
