The intended use also describes a "spinal fixation device" and "instruments," which are physical components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Polaris Spinal System and its associated instruments are described as spinal fixation devices and instruments used in surgical procedures to stabilize the spine. They are implanted or used directly on the patient during surgery.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is mechanical support and stabilization within the body.
Therefore, the Polaris Spinal System is a surgical implant/instrument system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
