Intended Use
The PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. It is intended for use with or without bone graft, at a single or multiple levels from L1 to S1 inclusive. It is indicated for the posterior surgical treatment of any or all of the following: degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, degenerative disease of the facets with instability, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, and pseudarthrosis and failed fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity. For transfacet fixation, the screws are inserted through the inferior articular process across the facet joint and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the lamina, through the inferior articular process, across the facet joint and into the pedicle.
Device Description
The PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System is a partially threaded, cannulated, self-tapping 4.5mm screw having an assembled, articulating washer. It is available in lengths from 25 to 45mm to accommodate differing anatomic requirements.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical implant for spinal fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion and is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions, including degenerative disc disease, trauma, and spondylolisthesis.

No

This device is a facet fixation system intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a partially threaded, cannulated, self-tapping screw with an articulating washer, which are physical hardware components.

No, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System: This device is a surgical implant (screws and washers) intended to be physically placed within the body to stabilize the spine. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fixation, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Static and dynamic cantilever bending (modified ASTM F2193) and axial pullout tests (ASTM F543) were used to characterize the mechanical properties of the PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System. The results demonstrated that the PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System is substantially equivalent to predicate device performance.

Technological Characteristics:

The PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System possesses the same technological characteristics as one or more of the predicates. These include:

  • . basic design: partially threaded, cannulated screw with washer,
  • material: titanium and/or titanium alloy, .
  • sizing: sizes (diameter and lengths) are within the range of those . offered in the predicate systems, and
  • intended use: as described above .

The PrimaLOK™ Facet Fixation System possesses a modified technological characteristic in that the assembled washer incorporates an integral feature which provides resistance to backout.

Therefore the fundamental scientific technology of the PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System is the same as previously cleared devices.

Performance Data:

Static and dynamic cantilever bending (modified ASTM F2193) and axial pullout tests (ASTM F543) were used to characterize the mechanical properties of the PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System. The results demonstrated that the PrimaLOK™FF Facet Fixation System is substantially equivalent to predicate device performance.
