Intended Use
The CORRIDOR™ Fixation System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels, from C2 to S1 for 3.5mm and 4.0mm screws and from L1 to S1 for 4.5mm screws. For transfacet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the lamina, through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The CORRIDOR™ Fixation System is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following: pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; spondylolisthesis; spondylolysis; degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies; degeneration of the spine; instability and trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations.
Device Description
The CORRIDOR™ Fixation System consists of screws designed to compact juxtaposed facet articular processes to enhance spinal fusion. The screws are available partially threaded or fully threaded, cannulated or non-cannulated, and in various diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy. The CORRIDOR™ Fixation System screws are fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136 and F1295. Due to the risk of galvanic corrosion, titanium alloy implants should not be used in the same construct as stainless steel implants.

No
The summary describes a mechanical fixation system for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to stabilize the spine and aid in fusion for various spinal conditions, directly treating physiological issues.

No

The device is a fixation system intended to stabilize the spine and aid in spinal fusion, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of screws fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy, which are hardware components.

No, 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • CORRIDOR™ Fixation System Function: The CORRIDOR™ Fixation System is a surgical implant designed to stabilize the spine and aid in fusion. It is a physical device inserted into the body during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the CORRIDOR™ Fixation System does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

Therefore, based on its intended use and description, the CORRIDOR™ Fixation System is a surgical implant/device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
