Intended Use
The Transom™ is intended for anterior cervical fixation (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
Device Description
The Transom™ Cervical Plate System consists of a variety of bone plates and screws. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The Transom™ Plates include locking pins that cover the heads of the bone screws to reduce the potential for screw back-out. The locking pins come preassembled to the plate. Associated instruments are available to facilitate the implantation of the device. The Transom™ Cervical Plate System implant components are made from titanium alloy such as described by ASTM F136.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of a cervical plate system, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is an implantable cervical plate system used for spinal fixation, which falls under structural support rather than providing a therapeutic action like healing or prevention of disease.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes the Transom™ as a cervical plate system for anterior cervical fixation (C2-T1), used to treat various spinal conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and trauma. It is an implantable device designed for structural support and stabilization, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Transom™ Cervical Plate System consists of bone plates, screws, and locking pins made from titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components. The summary also describes associated instruments for implantation and performance studies involving mechanical testing of these physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for anterior cervical fixation to treat various spinal conditions. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of bone plates and screws made from titanium alloy, designed for surgical implantation into the vertebral bodies.
  • 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 compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. The Transom™ is a surgical implant used inside the body.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:

The Transom™ Cervical Plate System consists of a variety of bone plates and screws. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The Transom™ Plates include locking pins that cover the heads of the bone screws to reduce the potential for screw back-out. The locking pins come preassembled to the plate. Associated instruments are available to facilitate the implantation of the device. The Transom™ Cervical Plate System implant components are made from titanium alloy such as described by ASTM F136.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Transom™ is intended for anterior cervical fixation (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

The indications for use for the Transom™ is the same as the Tempus™ Cervical Plate System (K120515, K131374).

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Transom™ Cervical Plate System is made from titanium alloy that conforms to ASTM F136. Titanium alloy has a successful history of use in the spinal implant industry and use of it in these devices does not introduce any previously unaccepted patient risks. The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Transom™ has been tested in the following test modes:

  • Static axial compression bending per modified ASTM F1717-13 ●
  • Static torsion per modified ASTM F1717-13 ●
  • Dynamic axial compression bending fatigue per modified ASTM F1717-13 .

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the Transom™ is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

CONCLUSION

The overall technology characteristics and mechanical performance data lead to the conclusion that the Transom™ Cervical Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
