Intended Use
The Spine 360 Talon Spinal System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).
Device Description
The Talon Spinal Fixation System was cleared for use via K071824, and is comprised of polyaxial screws, locking plugs, spinal rods and rod to rod connectors. The Talon System can be used for single or multiple level fixations. All components are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) that conforms to ASTM F136. Spine 360 proposes to add new smaller diameter (4.5mm) screws in various lengths, cannulated screws in various diameters and lengths, pedicle screw spacers as well as the minimally invasive surgical technique for use with the Spine 360 Talon Spinal System. The new components are based upon the same fundamental scientific technology and do not alter the indications for use as compared to the existing system.

Yes.
The device is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various instabilities or deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an implantable system (screws, rods, plugs) used for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one. Its intended use is to treat existing conditions or deformities, not to identify or diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components like screws, plugs, rods, and connectors made of titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion." This describes a surgical implant used to treat structural issues in the spine.
  • Device Description: The description details components like screws, rods, and connectors, which are typical of spinal fixation systems.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is an in vivo (within the body) implant.
