The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and intended use of a physical implant (facet screws) for spinal stabilization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any characteristics typically associated with AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion and is indicated for conditions such as pseudoarthrosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disk disease, and trauma, which are all medical conditions that this device aims to treat or manage.
No
Explanation: The device is a facet screw system intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. Its purpose is treatment and stabilization, not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of physical screws made of titanium alloy, 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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Description: The Apollo Spine Venus Facet Screw System is a surgical implant made of titanium alloy. It is designed to be surgically inserted into the spine to stabilize facet joints.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints. This is a surgical procedure performed inside the body.
The description clearly indicates a surgically implanted device used for structural support within the body, not a device used for testing biological samples in a laboratory setting.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Apollo Spine Venus Facet System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels, from C2 to S1 for 4.5mm and 5.5 mm screws. For transfacet fixation the screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the lamina, through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The Apollo Venus Facet System is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following:
- Pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may . cause secondary instability or deformity
- Spondylolisthesis .
- Spondylolysis
- Degenerative disk disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic . origin as confirmed by radiographic studies
- . Degeneration of the facets with instability
- Trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations .

Device Description
The Venus Facet Screw System consists of two separate diameter screws and is provided in variable lengths for cervical and lumbar use. The screws have small fenestration in the threaded portion.
The Venus Facet Screw System is an implanted device. The materials contained in the device include implant grade titanium alloy, Ti-6AI-4V (ELI) per ASTM F-136. The device is sold non-sterile and is to be sterilized at the end use facility by steam sterilization. The Venus Facet Screw System is a single use device.
The system includes a cervical and lumbar facet screws. The system screws provide fixation and are designed to connect vertebral facets, resulting from such causes as degenerative disease and/or trauma. These screw kits are considered a 'family' product line with sizes based on the anatomical variations of the patient's facets.

Dear Ms. Santagate:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
