No
The document describes a system of metallic implants and instruments for spinal fusion and stabilization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML. The focus is entirely on the physical components and their intended use in surgical procedures.
Yes
The device is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various acute and chronic instabilities, deformities, and conditions of the spine, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a system of metallic implants and accessories intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "metallic implants" and lists various hardware components like screws, rods, and connectors. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states the EXPEDIUM® and EXPEDIUM VERSE® Spine Systems consist of "metallic implants intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments." This describes a surgical implant, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use focuses on providing "immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion" for various spinal conditions. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or processes related to sample collection, analysis, reagents, or diagnostic results.
Therefore, the EXPEDIUM® and EXPEDIUM VERSE® Spine Systems are medical devices used for surgical implantation and stabilization of the spine, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
