No
The device description focuses on the physical components (plates, screws) and their materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any capabilities that would suggest AI/ML is involved. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not related to data analysis or image processing.
Yes.
The device is intended to treat various spinal instabilities and deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device is a lumbar fixation system (implants like plates and screws) used for surgical treatment of spinal instability, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of titanium alloy (plates and screws) and standard orthopedic instruments, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
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 for stabilizing the spine in patients with various conditions. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details plates and screws made of titanium alloy, designed for surgical implantation. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used for testing samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.
In summary, the Life Spine Lumbar Fixation System (SENTRY®) is a surgical implant used to treat spinal instability, which falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Batker:
We have reviewed vour Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
