Intended Use
The CORRIDOR® Fixation System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels, from C2 to S1 for 3.5mm and 4.0mm screws and from L1 to S1 for 4.5mm screws. For transfacet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The CORRIDOR® Fixation System is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following: pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; spondylolisthesis; spondylolysis; degenerative disc disease (DD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies: degeneration of the facets with instability and trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations. The CORRIDOR® Fixation System is also indicated for fracture fixation of small bones and bone fragments including odontoid fractures.
Device Description
The CORRIDOR® Fixation System consists of screws and instruments designed to aid in bone fixation. The screws are available partially threaded or fully threaded, cannulated or non-cannulated, and in various diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy. Screws are manufactured from titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136 and F1295.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical fixation system (screws and instruments) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or capabilities related to AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes

This device is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion and is indicated for the treatment of various spinal conditions such as pseudoarthrosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and trauma, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No

The device description indicates that the CORRIDOR® Fixation System "consists of screws and instruments designed to aid in bone fixation," which are clearly therapeutic tools used in surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "screws and instruments designed to aid in bone fixation," which are physical hardware components.

No, 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • CORRIDOR® Fixation System Function: The CORRIDOR® Fixation System is a surgical implant designed to mechanically stabilize the spine and other bones. It is a physical device used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for stabilizing the spine and fixing fractures, which are surgical procedures, not diagnostic tests performed on samples.
  • Device Description: The device description details screws and instruments, which are surgical tools and implants, not components of a diagnostic test.

The information provided describes a surgical device used for structural support and fixation within the body, not a test performed on a biological sample outside the body.

Dear Dr. Baker:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmp/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see
