Intended Use
The iFuse System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.
Device Description
The SI Fusion System consists of a series of metallic (titanium), porous plasma spray coated rods, intended for surgical implant within the bone to create fixation. The system includes 4.0 mm and 7.0 mm diameter fusion rods, which range in length from 30 mm to 70 mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and fixation capabilities of the metallic rods, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion, which treats medical conditions (sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis) by creating fixation within the bone.

No
The device is described as a system of metallic rods intended for surgical implantation to create fixation in the sacroiliac joint, rather than for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is treatment through fusion, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of metallic rods intended for surgical implant, which are 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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • iFuse System Description: The iFuse System is a surgical implant made of metallic rods intended for fixation within the bone (specifically the sacroiliac joint). It is a physical device implanted into the body, not used to test samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for sacroiliac joint fusion, which is a surgical procedure to stabilize the joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for treatment, not a device used for testing biological samples.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Performance Data

Axial pull-out testing, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and cadaver testing demonstrate that the iFuse is substantially equivalent with respect to fixation of the SI joint.

Substantial Equivalence

The iFuse has the same intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics and similar indications for use as the predicate SI Joint Fusion System. There are no differences in the SI Joint Fusion System's technological characteristics or principles of operation, thus the device does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the SI Joint Fusion System is as safe and effective as previously cleared SI Joint Fusion System. Thus, the SI Joint Fusion System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
