Intended Use
The Aversion Pedicle Screw System is intended for posterior, noncervical (T1-S1) pedicle fixation to provide immobilization and stabilization in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion for 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, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, spinal tumor, pseudarthrosis and failed previous fusion
Device Description
The Aversion Pedicle Screw System consists of straight and curved rods, polyaxial pedicle screws and crosslink connectors. These are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate differing patient anatomy.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical pedicle screw system and does not mention any AI/ML components or related performance metrics.

Yes
The device is described as providing "immobilization and stabilization" to treat "instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine," which are therapeutic actions.

No

The Aversion Pedicle Screw System is a surgical implant designed for spinal fixation and stabilization, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (straight and curved rods, polyaxial pedicle screws, and crosslink connectors) and describes mechanical performance testing of these components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices 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 Aversion Pedicle Screw System is a surgical implant used for spinal fixation. It is physically implanted into the patient's body to provide structural support.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. The device's function is mechanical stabilization of the spine.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Aversion Pedicle Screw System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Static compression bending and torsion, and dynamic compression bending tests were performed according to ASTM F1717 on the worst case Aversion screw. In addition, pullout testing according to ASTM F543 was performed on the worst case Aversion screw.
The mechanical test results demonstrate that the Aversion Pedicle Screw System performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.

(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
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to 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). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.

Technological Characteristics:

The Aversion Pedicle Screw System components possess the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. These include:

  • basic design (rod-based pedicle screw fixation system), .
  • material (titanium alloy), .
  • anatomic location (non-cervical spine) and .
  • sizes (widths, lengths and heights are within the range(s) . offered by the predicate systems).

Technological characteristics which are different have been supported with descriptive information and/or performance data.

In comparison to the predicate devices, the Aversion Pedicle Screw System has

  • the same intended use (as described above), .
  • the same technological characteristics or different without raising . safety and effectiveness issues (as described above)

Therefore the Aversion Pedicle Screw System can be found substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
