Intended Use
When used as an anterior non-pedicle fixation system in the lumbar and lumbosacral spine (L1-S1), THOR Anterior Plating System is intended for use via a lateral or anterolateral surgical approach above the bifurcation of the great vessels. THOR Anterior Plating System is intended to provide additional support during fusion using autograft or allograft in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities: 1) Degenerative Disc Disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degenerative disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); 2) Pseudoarthrosis 3) Spondylolysis 4) Spondyloisthesis 5) Trauma (i.e. Fracture of Dislocation) 6) Deformities (i.e. Scoliosis or Lordosis) 7) Spinal Stenosis 8) Failed previous Fusion. When used as an anterolateral non-pedicle fixation system in the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5), THOR Anterior Plating System is intended to provide additional support during fusion using autograft or allograft in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities: 1) Degenerative disc Disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degenerative disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) 2) Trauma (i.e. Fracture or Dislocation) 3) Spinal Stenosis 4) Deformities (i.e. Scoliosis, Kyphosis and/or Lordosis) 5) Tumors 6) Failed Previous Fusion
Device Description
The Stryker Spine THOR™ Anterior Plating System is designed for anterior and anterolateral stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. The system consists of a variety of plates and bone screws manufactured from Titanium alloy. The plates are preassembled with locking rings to accommodate the insertion of bone screws.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a spinal plating system, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat various acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the spine through fusion, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is an anterior plating system designed for stabilization during fusion procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components: "a variety of plates and bone screws manufactured from Titanium alloy." This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical implant system for stabilizing the spine during fusion procedures. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a plating system made of titanium alloy, consisting of plates and screws. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The device is clearly intended for direct surgical intervention and support of the spine, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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 Mr. Truesdale:

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.
