Intended Use
When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (Occiput - T3), the SOLSTICE OCT System, when properly used, is intended for: Degenerative Disc Disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spinal stenosis; fracture/dislocation: Atlanto/axial fracture with instability; occipitocervical dislocation; revision of previous cervical spine surgery; and tumors. When used with occipital plate, the bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. The bone screws are not intended to be used in the cervical spine. The use of thoracic screws is limited to placement in T1-T3 for anchoring the construct only. They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.
Device Description
The SOLSTICE OCT System is a temporary, titanium alloy (6AL-4V-ELI per ASTM F 136), multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use implantable components. The system consists of an assortment of occipital plates, occipital bone screws, polyaxial screws, hooks, connectors, rods, and locking caps.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use describe a mechanical spinal fixation system. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, or ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to promote fusion and provide stabilization for various spinal conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose to treat or alleviate a disease or injury.

No.

Explanation: The device is described as a "multiple component system" intended to promote fusion and provide stabilization in the spine, particularly after injury or to address degenerative conditions. It is an implantable system for surgical intervention and fixation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use implantable components" made of titanium alloy, including plates, screws, hooks, rods, and caps. This indicates a hardware-based medical 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 promote fusion and provide stabilization in the cervical and upper thoracic spine. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of implantable components made of titanium alloy, such as plates, screws, hooks, rods, and caps. These are physical devices intended for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, tissue, or urine) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

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

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
