No

Explanation: The PASS LP Spinal System is an implantable device used for surgical stabilization and correction of the spine as an adjunct to fusion. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one. While it mentions "radiographic studies" to confirm conditions, the device itself does not perform diagnostics.

No

The device description clearly states the system consists of physical components like pedicle screws, hooks, plates, and rods, which are made of titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys. The addition of a "Patient Specific Rod" further emphasizes the hardware nature of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system designed to provide immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion. This is a therapeutic device used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of physical components (screws, hooks, rods, etc.) made from specific alloys, intended for surgical implantation.
  • 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

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

7. Non-clinical Test Summary:

For the UNiD rods , static and dynamic compression and static torsion tests following the ASTM F1717 were conducted on two worst cases: one on UNiD Rods with an extreme lordosis and this other one with an extreme kyphosis.

No test was conducted following the ASTM F1798, because this standard described a way to test the connection components of a system in sliding. MEDICREA INTERNATIONAL UNiD Rods have the same diameters as the already cleared PASS LP rods (diameter) the contact area between the UNiD Rods and the different connectors of the ranges is strictly identical. Therefore the results obtained following this standard with the already cleared PASS LP components are still are valuable for the PASS LP Patient Specific Rods.

8. Clinical Test Summary

No clinical studies were performed

9. Conclusions Non clinical and Clinical

The UNiD Rods or Patient Specific Rods are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices in terms of indications for use, design, material, mechanical performances and function.
