Intended Use
The antero-lateral plate Sphynx™ is designed for use during surgery on the thoraco-lumbar area of the spine (T1-L5). The device is to be used only on one side and placed in such a manner as to be as far away from blood vessels and nerve roots as possible. This implant is intended to provide stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops, in the treatment of the following indications: - Tumor of the vertebral body - Fracture of the anterior spine (trauma) - Degenerative disc disease, compatible with a ventral approach (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.) - Pseudoarthrosis - Spondylolysis - Spondylolisthesis - Scoliosis - Lordotic deformities of the spine - Spinal stenosis - Failed previous spine surgery
Device Description
The Sphynx is an implant device made from a titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V ELI. It is to be implanted from the anterior-lateral approach. The Sphynx™ implant is an antero-lateral plate aimed at performing internal fixation of the thoraco-lumbar area of the spine (T1-L5), in addition to a solid intervertebral arthrodesis. The Sphynx™ instrumentation is composed of plates with anatomical conformation for cyphosis and lordosis. These plates are available in lengths 45-135mm increasing increments of 10mm. The fixation screws also consist of a variety of lengths and diameters. The safety screw is a 5mm diameter screw available in lengths starting at 24mm increasing in increments of 5mm to an overall length of 55mm. The two other fixation screws are available in diameters of 6mm and 7mm starting at 25mm and increasing in increments of 5mm to an overall length of 60mm.

No
The device description and intended use are for a passive spinal implant and associated instrumentation, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing.

No.
The device functions as an implant for internal fixation, providing stabilization until spinal fusion develops, rather than directly treating a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is described as an implantable plate and screws for spinal fixation, designed to provide stabilization during surgical treatment of various spinal conditions. Its function is to provide mechanical support, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implant device made from a titanium alloy" and describes physical components like plates and screws, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The Sphynx™ is described as an implant device made from a titanium alloy, designed for surgical implantation in the spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide stabilization during spinal surgery and promote fusion. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The information clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant used directly within the patient's body for structural support and stabilization, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

510(K) SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:

The Sphynx is an implant device made from a titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V ELI. It is to be implanted from the anterior-lateral approach. The Sphynx™ implant is an antero-lateral plate aimed at performing internal fixation of the thoraco-lumbar area of the spine (T1-L5), in addition to a solid intervertebral arthrodesis. The Sphynx™ instrumentation is composed of plates with anatomical conformation for cyphosis and lordosis. These plates are available in lengths 45-135mm increasing increments of 10mm. The fixation screws also consist of a variety of lengths and diameters. The safety screw is a 5mm diameter screw available in lengths starting at 24mm increasing in increments of 5mm to an overall length of 55mm. The two other fixation screws are available in diameters of 6mm and 7mm starting at 25mm and increasing in increments of 5mm to an overall length of 60mm.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The antero-lateral plate Sphynx™ is designed for use during surgery on the thoraco-lumbar area of the spine (T1-L5). The device is to be used only on one side and placed in such a manner as to be as far away from blood vessels and nerve roots as possible.

This implant is intended to provide stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops, in the treatment of the following indications:

  • Tumor of the vertebral body

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Sphynx " is made from titanium alloy that conforms to ASTM F136. The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Specifically the following characteristics are identical between the subject and predicates:

  • . Indications for Use (nearly identical)
  • . Materials of manufacture (identical)
  • Structural support mechanism (identical) ●

The additions to the system include the following implants and instruments: 8.5mm and 9.0mm diameter screws and the associated instruments.

Eden Spine Sphynx " was evaluated to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate devices. Mechanical testing, which characterized the mechanical performance and fatigue endurance to show the original performance requirements for Static Compression bending, Static Torsion bending and and Dynamic Compression bending per ASTM F1717-14 were met. No clinical testing was performed.

CONCLUSION

The Sphynx™ has been tested per ASTM F1717 in static compression bending, dynamic compression bending and static torsion bending and were considered substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices. The subject Sphynx™ has similar intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The overall technology characteristics lead to the conclusion that the Sphynx™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
