Intended Use
The Innovasis Gibralt Spine System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the cervical spine (C1-C7) and the thoracic spine from T1-T3: traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity; failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical/thoracic spine; and degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The Gibralt Spine System is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the Gibralt Spine System may be connected to the Innovasis Excella II® Spinal System, Excella 3® Spinal System and Excella III-D® Spinal Deformity System using rod-to-rod connectors and transitional rods. Refer to the specific system Instructions for Use for a list of their indications for use.
Device Description
The Innovasis® Gibralt® Spine System is a posterior system intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical, and/or upper thoracic spine. The system consists of a variety of sizes of rods, hooks, poly-axial screws and connecting components, which can be rigidly locked to the rod in various configurations. The Gibralt Spine System components are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI per ASTM F136), with rods being available in both titanium alloy and cobalt chrome alloy (CoCr per ASTM F1537) options. No modifications have been made to the design, materials or principles of operation when compared to the predicate.
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes
The device is described as providing immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for various medical conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an implantable system designed to immobilize and stabilize spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of physical components like rods, hooks, screws, and connecting components made of titanium and cobalt chrome alloys.

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 designed to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details physical components like rods, hooks, and screws made of titanium and cobalt chrome alloys. These are materials used for surgical implants, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, the Innovasis Gibralt Spine System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3075 Posterior cervical screw system.

(a)
Identification. Posterior cervical screw systems are comprised of multiple, interconnecting components, made from a variety of materials that allow an implant system to be built from the occiput to the upper thoracic spine to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements, as determined by preoperative cross-sectional imaging. Such a spinal assembly consists of a combination of bone anchors via screws (i.e., occipital screws, cervical lateral mass screws, cervical pedicle screws, C2 pars screws, C2 translaminar screws, C2 transarticular screws), longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods, including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors), and closure mechanisms (e.g., set screws, nuts). Posterior cervical screw systems are rigidly fixed devices that do not contain dynamic features, including but not limited to: non-uniform longitudinal elements or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.Posterior cervical screw systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in patients as an adjunct to fusion for acute and chronic instabilities of the cervical spine and/or craniocervical junction and/or cervicothoracic junction such as: (1) Traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; (2) deformities; (3) instabilities; (4) failed previous fusions (
e.g., pseudarthrosis); (5) tumors; (6) inflammatory disorders; (7) spinal degeneration, including neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI); (8) degeneration of the facets with instability; and (9) reconstruction following decompression to treat radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. These systems are also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for posterior cervical screw systems are:(1) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(2) Nonclinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(3) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(4) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(5) Labeling must include the following:
(i) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(ii) Intended use and indications for use including levels of fixation;
(iii) Device specific warnings, precautions, and contraindications that include the following statements:
(A) “Precaution: Preoperative planning prior to implantation of posterior cervical screw systems should include review of cross-sectional imaging studies (
e.g., CT and/or MRI) to evaluate the patient's cervical anatomy including the transverse foramen, neurologic structures, and the course of the vertebral arteries. If any findings would compromise the placement of these screws, other surgical methods should be considered. In addition, use of intraoperative imaging should be considered to guide and/or verify device placement, as necessary.”(B) “Precaution: Use of posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation at the C3 through C6 spinal levels requires careful consideration and planning beyond that required for lateral mass screws placed at these spinal levels, given the proximity of the vertebral arteries and neurologic structures in relation to the cervical pedicles at these levels.”
(iv) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(v) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user, and;
(vi) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
