The summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal stabilization and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various spinal instabilities, including degenerative disc disease, fractures, and deformities, which directly addresses medical conditions to restore health.
No
The Sinthes ArcoFix System is described as an implantable device (expandable plate and screws) used for stabilization of the spine in patients with various conditions. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Synthes ArcoFix System consists of an expandable plate and 4 bone screws, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for treating spine instability due to various conditions. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is described as an expandable plate and bone screws, which are physical implants used in surgery. IVD devices are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
Therefore, the Synthes ArcoFix System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Synthes ArcoFix System is indicated for use, via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach, in the treatment of thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability as a result of the following:
- Degenerative Disc Disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies)
- Spondylolisthesis
- Spondylolysis
- Fracture (including dislocation and subluxation)
- Spinal stenosis
- Deformities (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis whether neuromuscular or related to deficient posterior elements)
- Tumors (neoplastic disease)
- Pseudoarthrosis
- Failed previous fusion.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Stowell:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
