The device description indicates that the Spineology Navigation Instruments are surgical tools (awls, bone taps, drills, screwdrivers) used during spinal surgery to assist in the placement of pedicle screws by precisely locating anatomical structures. This is an intraoperative guidance or assistive device, not a diagnostic device that identifies a disease or condition. Its purpose is to guide surgical actions, not to diagnose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Spineology Navigation Instruments are non-sterile, reusable instruments made from stainless steel, including awls, bone taps, drills, and screwdrivers. These are physical hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Spineology Navigation Instruments are surgical instruments (awls, bone taps, drills, screwdrivers) used during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures. They are used in conjunction with a navigation system that utilizes imaging data (CT, MR, fluoroscopy) of the patient's anatomy.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the placement of pedicle screws during spinal surgery, not to analyze biological specimens for diagnostic purposes.
The device is a surgical navigation tool, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

B. Spineology Pedicular Fixation Systems
Spineology Fortress, Threshold V2, and Palisade Pedicular Fixation Systems consist of screws, curved and straight rods, and Connex Connector devices to allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. All screws are available with or without a hydroxyapatite coating. These systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The screws can be placed in the pedicles in a variety of trajectories ranging from the standard anatomic transpedicular path projected medially toward the ventral vertebral body, to a caudocephalad path sagittally and a laterally directed path in the transverse plane.
3. Indications for Use
Spineology Navigation Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Spineology's Fortress, Threshold V2, and Palisade pedicle screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. These instruments are designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT- or MR-based model, fluoroscopic images, or digitalized landmarks of the anatomy.
