Intended Use
The Cayman Thoracolumbar Plate System is indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach in the treatment of thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine and for use as an anteriorly placed supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral level below the bifurcation of the vascular structures. When properly used this system will help provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops. Specific indications include: a) degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), b) pseudoarthrosis, c) spondylolisthesis, e) fracture, f) neoplastic disease, g) unsuccessful previous fusion surgery, h) lordotic deformities of the spine, i) idiopathic thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis, j) deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) associated with deficient posterior elements such as that resulting from laminectomy, spina bifida, or myelomenigocele, k) neuromuscular deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis, and/or kyphosis) associated with pelvic obliquity.
Device Description
The Cayman Thoracolumbar Plate System is a spinal fixation system which consists of screws and plates. All of the components are available in a variety of sizes to match more closely the patient's anatomy. Materials: The devices are manufactured from CP Titanium and Ti6A14V per ASTM and ISO standards. Function: The system functions as an adjunct to fusion to provide immobilization of the spine.

No
The device description and intended use describe a mechanical spinal fixation system (plates and screws) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not software validation.

Yes
The device is a spinal fixation system indicated for the treatment of various thoracolumbar spine conditions, helping to provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a spinal fixation system that provides temporary stabilization and immobilization of the spine, functioning as an adjunct to fusion. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of screws and plates, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are 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 Cayman Thoracolumbar Plate System is a spinal fixation system consisting of screws and plates made of titanium. It is surgically implanted to provide temporary stabilization of the spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical implantation to treat various conditions of the thoracolumbar spine and lumbosacral level. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The description clearly indicates a surgically implanted medical device used for structural support and stabilization within the body, which is the opposite of 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. Woods:

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 (sec 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.
