More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a "pedicle screw system indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra" and also to "provide immobilization of spinal segments...as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of...instabilities or deformities." This directly addresses the treatment of medical conditions and support for healing, classifying it as therapeutic.

No
The device is a spinal fixation system intended to stabilize and promote spinal fusion, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple component, posterior spinal fixation system consisting of polyaxial pedicle screws, rods (Straight and pre-bent) and setscrews," fabricated from titanium alloy. This clearly indicates a physical hardware device, not software.

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 used to stabilize the spine and promote fusion. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like screws, rods, and setscrews made of titanium alloy. This aligns with a surgical implant, not a device used to examine samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Mikron Spinal Fixation System is a surgical implant device, not an IVD.
