The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as "a pedicle screw system that consists of a variety screws, hooks, rods, lock screws, transverse connectors, rod-to-rod connectors, iliac connectors and associated general instruments" and is intended to "provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments... as an adjunct to fusion" for various spinal conditions, directly addressing and treating medical conditions.

No

The NuVasive Reline System is a pedicle screw fixation system intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion, treating various spinal conditions and deformities. It is a surgical implant system, not a device used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the NuVasive Reline System is a pedicle screw system consisting of various hardware components like screws, hooks, rods, etc., and associated instruments. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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 used to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a pedicle screw system consisting of screws, hooks, rods, and connectors. These are physical implants used in surgery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the spine, which is consistent with a surgical implant.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The NuVasive Reline System is an in vivo (within the body) surgical device.
