The indications for use are as follows: - degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies - spondylolisthesis . - trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation) . - spinal stenosis . - deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) . - spinal tumor . - pseudarthrosis, and/or . - failed previous fusion. . 2. The SeaSpine® Navigation System reusable instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of SeaSpine screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The SeaSpine® Navigation System reusable instruments are specifically 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, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks for the anatomy.
Device Description
The Mariner Pedicle Screw System is a non-cervical spinal fixation device and instrumentation system intended for use as a posterior pedicle screw fixation system, a posterior non-pedicle screw fixation system, or as an anterolateral fixation system. The system consists of single-use implants including fixed, polyaxial, cephalad/caudal restricted-motion, and medial/lateral restricted motion pedicle screws as well as connecting spinal rods and a separate locking element. The Mariner implants are manufactured from titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI (per ASTM F136), and cobalt chrome (Co-35Ni-20Cr-10Mo per ASTM F562 and Co-28Cr-6Mo per ASTM F1537). The instruments included in the Mariner Pedicle Screw System facilitate the placement, removal, adjustment, and final locking of the system implants. Other accessories to the system also include the trays and caddies for storage, protection, and organization prior to and during the steam sterilization process. The SeaSpine Navigation System instruments are manual, surgical instruments that assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous procedures for preparation and placement of pedicle screw system implants. The SeaSpine Navigation Instruments will be incorporated into the Mariner Pedicle Screw System. With an increased demand for less invasive posterior fixation, the Mariner MIS Pedicle Screw System will offer instrumentation to its existing modular implant design to assist surgeons with MIS techniques.
More Information

There are no Reference Devices (K/DEN numbers) listed in the provided text. The text explicitly states "Reference Device(s): Not Found".

No
The document describes a pedicle screw system and navigation instruments, which are mechanical and manual tools. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The navigation system relies on external imaging modalities and a separate navigation system (Medtronic StealthStation), but the description of the SeaSpine instruments themselves does not indicate AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device provides immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments and assists in the placement of spinal implants to treat various spinal conditions, indicating a direct therapeutic effect.

No

The device is a pedicle screw system and navigation system instruments used for spinal immobilization and stabilization, and to assist in precisely locating anatomical structures during surgery. It does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical implants (screws, rods, locking elements) and manual surgical instruments, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device system, not software-only. While it mentions a navigation system that uses imaging data, the core device is the physical pedicle screw system.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Mariner Pedicle Screw System and the SeaSpine Navigation System are surgical devices used for spinal fixation and navigation during surgery. They are implanted in the body or used to guide surgical procedures.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is mechanical and navigational within the surgical setting.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a surgical implant and a surgical navigation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
