Intended Use
When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (Occiput - T3), the SENTINEL Spinal System, when properly used, is intended for: Degenerative Disc Disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; spinal stenosis; fracture/dislocation: Atlanto/axial fracture with instability; occipitocervical dislocation; revision of previous cervical spine surgery; and tumors. When used with the occipital plate, the bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. The bone screws are not intended to be used in the cervical spine. The use of polyaxial screws is limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.
Device Description
The SENTINELTM Spinal System is a temporary, titanium alloy (6AL-4V-ELI per ASTM F 136), multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use implantable components. When assembled, the components create a rigid structure providing stabilization and promote spinal fusion. The system consists of an assortment of occipital plates, occipital bone screws, polyaxial screws, hooks, rods, and locking caps.
More Information

No
The provided text describes a mechanical spinal fixation system made of titanium alloy components. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML. The description focuses solely on the physical components and their intended use for stabilization and fusion.

Yes
The device is described as promoting fusion and providing stabilization, which are therapeutic actions to address various spinal conditions.

No

The device is described as a "multi-component system" used to create a "rigid structure providing stabilization and promote spinal fusion" for conditions like Degenerative Disc Disease, spondylolisthesis, and fracture/dislocation. Its intended use is to promote fusion and provide stabilization, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use implantable components" made of titanium alloy, including plates, screws, hooks, rods, and locking caps. This clearly indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The SENTINEL Spinal System is described as a "temporary, titanium alloy... multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use implantable components." These components are assembled to create a "rigid structure providing stabilization and promote spinal fusion."
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "promote fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction" and to provide "stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma."

This description clearly indicates that the device is an implantable surgical device used to provide structural support and promote healing within the body. It does not perform tests on samples taken from the body.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
