Intended Use
The Innovasis PFX™ Posterior Spinous Fixation System is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the posterior non-cervical spine (T1-S1) of skeletally mature patients. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to the spinous process for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion. The PFX Posterior Spinous Fixation System is intended for use at one level, with bone graft material. The PFX Posterior Spinous Fixation System is indicated for use as an aid in immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for treatment of the following conditions: - · Degenerative disc disease: Back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. - · Trauma: fracture or dislocation - · Spondvlolisthesis - Tumor
Device Description
The Innovasis® PFX™ Posterior Spinous Fixation System consists of plates, struts and screws that are used to build a construct to provide supplemental stabilization of spinal segments to support fusion. The components are available in a range of sizes to fit the anatomical needs of a variety of patients. PFX™ implants are composed of titanium alloy (per ASTM F136).
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical fixation components (plates, struts, screws) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes

The device aids in immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for treating various conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a "supplemental fixation device" intended for "plate fixation/attachment to the spinous process for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion." Its function is to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for treating various conditions, rather than to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components like plates, struts, and screws made of titanium alloy, which are hardware.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Innovasis PFX™ Posterior Spinous Fixation System is a surgical implant used to stabilize the spine during fusion. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.

The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fixation, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.

The PFX Posterior Spinous Fixation device when tested using recognized standardized testing performed comparably to the predicates in all modes of loading and also exceeded the in vivo force tolerances of the human spine.

The materials utilized (titanium alloy) are substantially equivalent to the predicates.

The mode of operation (clamping mechanism utilizing wings and spikes, center post and set screw) is substantially equivalent to the predicates.

The indications for use are substantially equivalent.

Summary of Safety

And Effectiveness

And Effectiveness: The PFX when used as posterior supplemental fixation to a fusion site is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
