The device description focuses on patient-specific guides based on pre-surgical CT data and surgeon-chosen trajectories. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The device appears to be a passive navigation guide based on pre-planned trajectories, not an AI/ML-driven system.
No.
The device is a surgical navigation guide, intended to assist in the accurate placement of pedicle screws. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is a surgical navigation guide, providing physical guidance for pedicle screw placement based on pre-surgical planning. It does not perform a diagnostic function by identifying, detecting, or monitoring medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of "single-use components designed for treatment of a specific patient as well as reusable non-patient-specific components" and "Patient-Specific Pedicle Screw Guides that fit on the patient's anatomy to guide surgical instruments." These are physical components, not solely software.
Based on the provided text, the FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guide is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- FIREFLY® Function: The FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guide is a surgical instrument designed to assist surgeons in the accurate placement of pedicle screws during spinal fixation procedures. It uses patient-specific guides based on CT imaging data to direct surgical instruments.
- No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical guidance during surgery.
Therefore, the FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guide falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guide is intended to assist in the accurate placement of pedicle screws. It consists of single-use components designed for treatment of a specific patient as well as reusable non-patient-specific components.
The FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guide uses Patient-Specific Pedicle Screw Guides that fit on the patient's anatomy to guide surgical instruments in line with trajectories chosen presurgically, by the surgeon, based on the patient's CT imaging data. Navigation guides are intended to guide instruments to create pilot holes in the pedicles for placing pedicle screws following the Approved Patient-Specific Surgical Plan.
Patient-Specific Bone Models may also be provided.
The purpose of this traditional 510(k) is to expand the FIREFLY® indications for use to allow compatibility with all pedicle screw systems (for their cleared indications for use) meeting certain criteria and use at an additional spinal level. The FIREFLY® design is the same as was originally cleared in K143222.

§ 888.3070 Thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system.
(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:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to 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). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
