Intended Use
The BASG, Inc., SOLAS AnatomixTM, Spinal System is a modular pedicle screw based spinal fixation system indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal of the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion. In addition, the SOLAS Anatomix™ is 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 or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). The SOLAS Anatomix™ is intended for anterior/anterolateral and posterior, non-cervical and non-pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as hen' pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and padiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture and/or dislocation) spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), turnor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

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

Yes.
The device is a spinal fixation system intended to treat various spinal conditions, including severe spondylolisthesis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, failed previous fusion, and degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, which are therapeutic functions.

No

The device is a spinal fixation system intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical components such as screws, housing assemblies, rods, connectors, and a cross-link mechanism, all fabricated 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/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system used for spinal fixation and stabilization in patients with various spinal conditions. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a modular spinal fixation system including screws, housing assemblies, rods, connectors, and a cross-link mechanism. These are all components of a surgical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are mechanical testing (ASTM F1717-04), which is relevant for evaluating the structural integrity and performance of a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to diagnose diseases or other conditions. This device is a surgical implant used to treat existing conditions.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when 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 or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
