Intended Use
The Silex Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System is intended for fixation of large bones, including bones of the pelvis, for conditions including degenerative sacroiliac joint disruptions. The Silex Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System is intended for fixation of large bones, including bones of the pelvis, for conditions including degenerative sacroillitis and sacroiliac joint disruptions.
Device Description
The Silex Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System consists of bone screws in various diameters, lengths and thread configurations to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The Silex system is manufactured from Titanium alloy in accordance with ASTM F136, and the larger diameter (12.5mm) implants may optionally have the exterior surfaces plasma coated with medical-grade commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) per ASTM F1580. All implants will be provided non-sterile, and are intended for single use only and should not be reused under any circumstances.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a surgical implant for bone fixation, specifically in the sacroiliac joint, to treat degenerative conditions, rather than providing therapy itself.

No
The device is described as a "Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System" intended for fixation of large bones, and performs biomechanical testing, indicating it is a surgical implant rather than a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of bone screws made from Titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also focus on the biomechanical properties of these physical implants.

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 "fixation of large bones, including bones of the pelvis, for conditions including degenerative sacroiliac joint disruptions." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize a joint.
  • Device Description: The description details bone screws made of titanium alloy, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the biomechanical properties of the screws (torsional properties, driving torque, pullout strength, bending strength), which are relevant to their function as a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

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

The implant components were tested using the following standards:

ASTM F543 - Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Screws

  • Annex 1 (A1) Test Method for Determining the Torsional Properties of Metallic Bone Screws .
  • Annex 2 (A2) Test Method for the Driving Torque of Medical Bone Screws .
  • Annex 3 (A3) Test Method for Determining the Axial Pullout Strength of Medical Bone Screws ●

ASTM F2193 – Standard Specification and Test Methods for Components Used in the Surgical Fixation of the Spinal Skeletal System

  • Annex 4 (A4) Test Method for Measuring the Static and Fatigue Bending Strength of Metallic Spinal . Screws
    In conclusion, biomechanical testing results indicate that the Silex Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System is substantially equivalent to predicate device performance and is capable of safely and effectively performing in accordance with its intended use.

§ 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.
