More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and components of a traditional spinal fixation system, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or related data analysis.

Yes
The device is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for various spinal instabilities or deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a pedicle screw system intended for temporary stabilization of the spine during fusion, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "posterior pedicle screw system manufactured from titanium alloy" and lists various hardware components like screws, rods, and connectors. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Dymaxeon Spine System Function: The description clearly states that the Dymaxeon Spine System is a surgical implant designed to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments during spinal fusion. It is a physical device implanted within the body.

The information provided about the device's intended use, description, anatomical site, and performance studies all point to it being a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

(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:

Ø5.5 mm rod component option, a cannulated screw option to the currently marketed Ø6.0 mm rods and solid screws cleared in K121786, a transverse connector to increase torsional rigidity, and hook options (laminar, pedicular, and offset) to provide the surgeon with more support options. The transverse connector is available in non-axial and multi-axial configurations.

Device Description:

The Dymaxeon Spine System is a posterior pedicle screw system manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI per ASTM F136) designed for temporary stabilization of the spine during the development of spinal fusion. The Dymaxeon Spine System is comprised of polyaxial pedicle screws and rods. The Dymaxeon Spine System can be used for single or multiple level fixations.

The additional Ø5.5mm rod, cannulated screw, transverse connector, and hook components will be used in conjunction with the predicate Dymaxeon Spine System during the fixation of the spine. The components are manufactured from titanium alloy and come in a variety of lengths.

No other modifications have been made to the Dymaxeon Spine System.

Predicate Devices:

The Ø5.5mm rod, cannulated screw, and transverse connector components are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate Dymaxeon Spine System (K121786). Additional predicate devices include the Corelink Tiger Spine System (K113058), the Blackstone SFS Parallel Rod Connectors (K080407), the Synthes Anterior CSLP System (K000536), and the Stryker Xia Spinal System (K071373).

Technological Characteristics:

The Ø5.5mm rod, cannulated screw, and transverse connector components are substantially equivalent to the referenced predicates with respect to its intended use, material, geometry, and method of fixation.

Preclinical Testing:

The non-clinical tests performed by the company include static compression bending, static torsion, and dynamic compression bending testing per ASTM F1717 of the Ø5.5mm rod and cannulated screw components. The results of the performed tests demonstrate that the Dymaxeon Spine System with Ø5.5mm rod, cannulated screw, and transverse connector components is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Conclusion:

The information summarized in the Design Control Activities Summary demonstrates that the Ø5.5mm rod. cannulated screw, transverse connectors, and hooks are substantially equivalent to the predicate device as demonstrated by mechanical testing.
