Intended Use
The SP-Fix™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is a posterior non-pedicle supplemental fixation device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to the spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), and/or tumor. The SP-Fix™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is intended for use with bone graft material and is not intended for stand-alone use.
Device Description
The SP-Fix™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate consists of plates, rods and barrels that are used to build a construct to provide supplemental stabilization of spinal segments to support fusion. The components are available in a range of sizes to fit the anatomical needs of a variety of patients. SP-Fix™ implants are composed of titanium alloy (per ASTM F136) and PEEK radiolucent polymer (per ASTM F2026).
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation device and its components, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for supplemental fixation in conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, and tumor, all aimed at achieving fusion to alleviate symptoms or improve spinal stability. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose as a supplemental fixation device for spinal segments to support fusion, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components (plates, rods, barrels) made of titanium alloy and PEEK polymer, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, the SP-Fix™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. The SP-Fix™ is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the spine.
  • The intended use describes a surgical procedure and the conditions it aims to treat. It does not involve testing or analyzing biological samples.
  • The device description details the materials and components of a surgical implant. It does not mention reagents, calibrators, or other elements typically found in IVD devices.

The SP-Fix™ is a medical device used for surgical intervention, not for diagnostic testing of samples.

§ 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.
