More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical spinal implant system and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, and mechanical testing of the physical device.

Yes

The device is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments for posterior, non-cervical pedicle fixation as an adjunct to fusion for various medical indications such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion. These actions directly address or alleviate a disease or condition, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Pedicle Screw System" used for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "a variety of Pedicle screws and rods in different sizes," which are physical hardware components made of ASTM F136 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI). The performance studies also detail mechanical testing of these physical implants.

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 MIS Z-Pedicle Screw System is a surgical implant intended for the immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are characteristic of IVDs.

Therefore, the MIS Z-Pedicle Screw System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(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;
