No
The description focuses on mechanical and magnetic mechanisms for spinal distraction and bracing, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "Spinal Bracing and Distraction System" intended to correct severe progressive spinal deformities and prevent Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome (TIS), which directly addresses a health condition.
No
The device is a surgical implant and associated external controller used for spinal bracing and mechanical distraction to treat severe progressive spinal deformities in skeletally immature patients. While used in the context of a diagnosis (severe progressive spinal deformities), the device itself is a therapeutic device and not a diagnostic one, as it does not identify or characterize a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a surgically implanted spinal rod, an external remote controller (ERC), a manual distractor, and a magnet locator. The software component, if any, would be part of the ERC, but the system is fundamentally hardware-based.
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.
- Device Function: The Ellipse MAGEC 2 Spinal Bracing and Distraction System is a surgically implanted device used to physically brace and distract the spine. It is a mechanical device that directly interacts with the patient's anatomy.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely based on mechanical manipulation of the spine.
The description clearly indicates it's a surgical implant and associated external components used for physical intervention on the spine, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Device Description
The MAGEC 2 Spinal Bracing and Distraction System is comprised of a sterile single use spinal rod that can be surgically implanted using appropriate Stryker® Xia9 fixation components (i.e. Pedicle screws, hooks and/or connectors). The implanted MAGEC 2 rod is used to brace the spine during growth to minimize the progression of scoliosis. The system includes a non-sterile hand held External Remote Controller (ERC or ERC 2) that is used periodically after implantation to noninvasively distract the implanted spinal rod. The titanium MAGEC 2 rod includes an actuator portion that holds a small internal magnet. The magnet in the actuator can be turned non-invasively by use of the ERC, which is electrically powered. The hand held non-invasive ERC is placed over the patient's spine and then manually activated, which causes the implanted magnet to rotate and distract the MAGEC 2 rod. Once the physician determines that the implant has achieved its intended use and is no longer required, the implant is explanted. Additional accessories for the MAGEC 2 System include the MAGEC Manual Distractor and the MAGEC Wand Magnet Locator. The MAGEC Manual Distractor is a sterile, single use device, which is used in the operating room to test the MAGEC 2 rod prior to implantation. The MAGEC Manual Distractor used with the MAGEC 2 System is made of Radel® and contains a rare-earth magnet. The MAGEC Wand Magnet Locator is a non-sterile device which is used during the distraction procedure to locate the magnet within the MAGEC 2 rod. The ERC is placed over this location on the child's back.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing on the MAGEC 2 System included Static and Dynamic Mechanical testing according to the methods outlined in the standard ASTM F1717, wear testing and particulate analysis according to the methods in the standards ASTM F2624 and ASTM F1877, validation of the gamma radiation sterilization cycle in accordance with the VDmag 22 methodology as given in ISO 11137-2 to verify that the gamma radiation sterilization process provides a sterility assurance level of 10-6 and design verification and validation. Results of these tests demonstrate that there are no new risks associated with the device and the device can be expected to perform in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Previous clinical performance data for the predicate MAGEC System is applicable to the MAGEC 2 System. The safety and probable benefit of the predicate MAGEC System was evaluated outside the United States in a retrospective clinical study for children who had either a primary or revision spinal bracing procedure using the MAGEC System. In assessing probable benefit, the endpoints chosen in the study included Cobb angle correction in the coronal plane, thoracic spine height increase, improvement in space available for lung (SAL), coronal and sagittal balance, reduction in the number of subsequent surgical procedures, and weight gain.
The results of the clinical study showed the MAGEC System provides the benefits of spinal deformity correction and continued growth, similar to that for traditional growing rods, without the need for regular surgical lengthening procedures in these children. As with traditional growing rods, the MAGEC System provides direct bracing to the spine. This bracing provides for correction and maintenance of the scoliotic curve as defined by the Cobb Angle. In addition, a return to a more normal symmetry of the thoracic cavity is provided as demonstrated by the space available for lung (SAL). While implantation of the MAGEC System shares many of the same risks and hazards associated with those of traditional growing rods, the MAGEC System offers the benefit of non-invasive adjustment to lengthen the implanted rod without the need to perform another surgery. The ability of the device to be adjusted non-invasively in length provides the ability of the spine to continue growing in these subjects and for the Thoracic Spine Height to increase with this growth.

Indications for Use: The Ellipse MAGEC 2 Spinal Bracing and Distraction System is 7. intended for skeletally immature patients less than 10 years of age with severe progressive spinal deformities (e.g., Cobb angle of 30 degrees or more; thoracic spine height less than 22 cm) associated with or at risk of Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome (TIS). TIS is defined as the inability of the thorax to support normal respiration or lung growth.
- Substantial equivalence: Documentation that includes mechanical test results, design verification and detailed comparison to the predicate device demonstrates that the MAGEC 2 System is substantially equivalent to the following 510(k) cleared device:
- MAGEC Spinal Bracing and Distraction System (K140613) ●
Substantial equivalence to the predicate device is based on indications for use, principles of operation, technological characteristics, and pre-clinical testing performed.
The MAGEC 2 System that is subject of this premarket notification and the predicate device have the same indications for use. Both the MAGEC 2 System and the predicate device are spinal rods that have adjustable length, and are implanted on the posterior spine using hooks or screws. Both devices operate on the same non-invasive distraction technology using the Ellipse External Remote Controller (ERC or ERC 2). The technological characteristics of the subject device and the predicate device are similar. Both systems are manufactured of the same biocompatible metals and supplied sterile by the same methods of gamma radiation. The differences between the two systems include the addition of a 6.0 mm diameter rod to the product offering, design modifications to remove structural welds and new design features.
Non-clinical testing on the MAGEC 2 System included Static and Dynamic Mechanical testing according to the methods outlined in the standard ASTM F1717, wear testing and particulate analysis according to the methods in the standards ASTM F2624 and ASTM F1877, validation of the gamma radiation sterilization cycle in accordance with the VDmag 22 methodology as given in ISO 11137-2 to verify that the gamma radiation sterilization process provides a sterility assurance level of 106 and design verification and validation. Results of these tests demonstrate that there are no new risks associated with the device and the device can be expected to perform in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate.

The specific non-clinical tests that have been performed in order to establish equivalence to the predicate device include:
Test Description | Applicable Test Standard |
---|---|
Static Mechanical Testing | ASTM F1717-14 |
Dynamic Mechanical Testing | ASTM F1717-14 |
Wear Testing | ASTM F2624-12 |
Particulate Analysis | ASTM F1877-05 |
Sterilization Validation | ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2 |
Design Verification | None |
Additional non-clinical tests that were performed on the predicate MAGEC System are also applicable to the MAGEC 2 System with the design modifications and additional diameter rod. The performance testing on the predicate device includes, shelf life testing, and biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for the intended use of the device. There are no changes to the ERC being made as a result of this submission, therefore all testing that was performed on the predicate MAGEC System for the ERC are applicable to the MAGEC 2 System subject of this premarket notification.
9. Clinical Performance Data:
Previous clinical performance data for the predicate MAGEC System is applicable to the MAGEC 2 System. The safety and probable benefit of the predicate MAGEC System was evaluated outside the United States in a retrospective clinical study for children who had either a primary or revision spinal bracing procedure using the MAGEC System. In assessing probable benefit, the endpoints chosen in the study included Cobb angle correction in the coronal plane, thoracic spine height increase, improvement in space available for lung (SAL), coronal and sagittal balance, reduction in the number of subsequent surgical procedures, and weight gain.
