No
The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and its associated instruments. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and MR compatibility.

Yes
The device is described as a 'Spinal Fixation System' intended for various spinal indications such as degenerative disc disease, trauma, and deformities, which directly addresses medical conditions to restore function and alleviate symptoms.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a spinal fixation system intended for surgical implantation to provide stabilization, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple component cannulated pedicle screw system comprised of a variety of components that allow the surgeon to build a spinal implant construct," listing physical components like rods, screws, crosslinks, and set screws made of titanium alloy. It also mentions "Class I manual instruments." This clearly indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

No, 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 about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant system (pedicle screws, rods, etc.) used for spinal fixation. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for posterior spinal fixation as an adjunct to fusion, addressing various spinal conditions. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The device is a surgical implant and associated instrumentation, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-standard testing was used to verify the performance characteristics of the instrumentation. Clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. The subject drivers were tested for torque to failure characterization, characterized the torque required for bone insertion, to show the torque characterization for cannulated driver materials, and to characterize the torque to failure for the breakaway and hexalobe tip redesign features. All testing supports that Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for safety and efficacy.

Standard testing was used to determine appropriate MR labeling of this device. Clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. The subject system was tested to ASTM F2503-13, ASTM F2502-15, ASTM F2213-17 and ASTM F2182-11a. Testing concluded Streamline Spinal Fixation System is 'MR Conditional' and will be labelled as such.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
