Intended Use
The intended use of the Certex OCT Spinal Implant System is to promote fusion of the occipito-cervicothoracic regions of the spine (Occiput - T3 inclusive). The indications for use are as follows: - Degenerative Disc Disease (as identified by neck or back pain of discogenic origin with . degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), - . Spondylolisthesis, - Trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), . - . Spinal Stenosis, - Atlanto-axial fracture with instability, . - Failed previous fusion, . - Occipito-cervical dislocation, . - Revision of previous cervical spine surgery, ● - Spinal tumors. ● The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. The hooks and rods are intended to provide stabilization and promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic spine (C1-T3). The use of the polyaxial screws is limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3) for purposes of anchoring an OCT construct, and are not intended for treatment of thoracic conditions. Screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine.
Device Description
The Certex OCT Spinal Implant System consists of screws, hooks, rods, plates and connectors. Various sizes of these implants are available so that adaptations can be made to take into account pathology and individual patient anatomy. The Certex OCT Spinal Implant System components are manufactured from Titanium alloy in accordance with ASTM F136 and will be provided clean but non-sterile.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of the spinal implant system components. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device components are implants intended to promote fusion and provide stabilization in the spine for various medical conditions, indicating a direct therapeutic action.

No
The device is described as an implant system consisting of screws, hooks, rods, plates, and connectors for promoting fusion and stabilization in the spine, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components such as screws, hooks, rods, plates, and connectors, which are manufactured from Titanium alloy. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Certex OCT Spinal Implant System consists of physical implants (screws, hooks, rods, plates, and connectors) intended to be surgically implanted into the spine to promote fusion and provide stabilization. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD.

Therefore, the Certex OCT Spinal Implant System is a surgical implant device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

The implant components were tested using the following testing standards per FDA Guidance and recommendations:

  • ASTM F2706 Standard Test Methods for Occipital-Cervical and Occipital-Cervical-Thoracic . Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model
    • Static and dynamic compression o
    • Static and dynamic torsion o
  • ASTM F1798 Standard Guide for Evaluating the Static and Fatigue Properties of . Interconnection Mechanisms and Subassemblies Used in Spinal Arthrodesis Implants
    • Axial Slip o
    • o Torsional Slip

In summary, results from the biomechanical testing indicate that the Certex OCT Spinal Implant System is substantially equivalent to predicate device performance and is capable of performing in accordance with its intended use.

§ 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.
