No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical implant for spinal fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The modifications described are purely structural.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the stabilization of the lumbar spine (L1-S1) to promote fusion in patients with disc disease, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as an implant system for interspinous fixation within lumbar interbody fusion surgery, intended to provide stabilization and promote fusion, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is an implant system made of titanium alloy, which is a physical hardware component. The 510(k) describes modifications to this physical implant.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the coflex-IF is a "posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use with an interbody cage as an adjunct to fusion at a single level in the lumbar spine." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support and promote fusion.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant system made of titanium alloy, designed for surgical insertion and fixation to the spinous processes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is a surgical implant used directly within the body.

Device Description
The coflex-IF system is an implant system for interspinous fixation within lumbar interbody fusion surgery. It consists of a single, U-shaped component, fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). A set of two wings extends vertically from the superior long arm of the device, with a second set of wings extending below the inferior long arm. A screw and sleeve are inserted through a prepared hole and fixes the crimped wings to the superior and inferior spinous processes.
The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add a notch in the posterior portion of the U-shaped body. The modifications do not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.

§ 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.

The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add a notch in the posterior portion of the U-shaped body. The modifications do not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
Predicate Device(s):
The modified coflex-IF is substantially equivalent to the predicate coflex-F (Paradigm Interspinous Fusion Plate) previously cleared in K112595 and K093438 with respect to indications, design, function, and materials.
Performance Testing
Mechanical testing was performed on coflex-IF, providing sufficient proof for functional safety and performance regarding the mechanical stability and properties. The following three tests were performed (according to ASTM F 1717-13): static compression bending, static torsion, and compression bending fatigue. Results demonstrated equivalent performance to the predicate device.
Substantial Equivalence:
The worst case device was subjected to mechanical testing. The results demonstrate that the acceptance criteria defined in the Design Control Activities Summary were met and the coflex-IF is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s).
Conclusion:
The coflex-IF is substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices with respect to its indications for use, design, function, materials, and performance.
