The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is a pedicle screw fixation system intended for immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the spine. Its purpose is to contribute to correction and surgical stabilization of the spine, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
This device is a pedicle screw fixation system intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components such as pedicle screws, hooks, rods, etc., manufactured from titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium molybdenum alloy. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system used for stabilizing the spine in patients. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details physical components like screws, hooks, rods, etc., made of specific alloys. These are physical implants, not reagents or instruments used to test biological samples.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and mechanical testing of the physical components, which are relevant for surgical implants, not diagnostic devices.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.
