More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the mechanical properties and equivalence of the pedicle screw system components. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a "Pedicle Screw System" intended for "posterior, non-cervical pedicle fixation" to provide "stabilization during the development of fusion." It is an implantable mechanical device used in surgery, not a therapeutic device designed to treat a condition through means like drug delivery, radiation, or electrical stimulation. Its purpose is structural support during a healing process.

No

This device is a pedicle screw system intended for spinal fixation and stabilization as an adjunct to fusion. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one, as it does not diagnose medical conditions but rather treats them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components like screws, rods, and set screws, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system used for spinal fixation. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like screws, rods, and set screws made of titanium alloy. These are surgical implants.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the implants, which is relevant for surgical devices, not IVDs.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The XENON Pedicle Screw System does not fit this description.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when 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 the 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 (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
