Intended Use
The Gecko Spinal System is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: 1. Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adult scollosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions. The Gecko Spinal System may also be used in conjunction with other Ortho Development's spinal rod systems made of similar metals whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of the other implants.
Device Description
The Gecko Spinal System is an implantable device intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. The device consists of an implantable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) braided band with a stiffened guiding section at one end and a metal leader at the other (both removed before final implantation), an implantable grade titanium alloy clamp that mates with 5.5mm diameter rods, and an implantable grade titanium alloy nut that secures the band, clamp, and connecting rod together. All implants are provided sterile for single use only; the implant should not be re-used or re-sterilized under any circumstances.

No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal implant system and its components. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not related to data analysis or image processing.

No.
The 'Intended Use' section states that the device is "intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures" and "is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery." This indicates a structural and supportive role rather than a therapeutic one designed to treat or cure a disease or condition through non-surgical means. It facilitates healing rather than directly delivering therapy.

No

The device is an implantable system for temporary stabilization and fracture repair during spinal surgery, and it does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an implantable device consisting of physical components (braided band, clamp, nut) made of specific materials (PET, titanium alloy). It is not software.

No, 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.
  • Gecko Spinal System Function: The Gecko Spinal System is an implantable device used in orthopedic surgery to provide temporary stabilization and aid in bone fusion and fracture repair. It is physically placed within the patient's body.
  • Lack of Testing on Samples: The description clearly states the device's purpose is mechanical support and stabilization within the spine. There is no mention of it being used to test or analyze biological samples.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

    Verification results indicated that the patient contact materials comply with the standard.

Mechanical Testing

The following mechanical testing were performed on the Gecko Spinal System:

  • . Static and dynamic band tension testing per ASTM F1798
  • Static axial grip and static torsional grip testing per ASTM F1798 .
  • . Static and Dynamic axial compression testing per ASTM F1717

Test results demonstrates that the Gecko Spinal System has substantially equivalent mechanical performance as the identified predicate devices.

Clinical Testing

None provided for basis of substantial equivalence

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

Verification and Validation activities were conducted to establish the performance of the Gecko Spinal System. The results of these activities demonstrates that the Gecko Spinal System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicates.

Based on similarities in intended use/indication for use, technological characteristics, device materials, mechanical performance and function the Gecko Spinal System is considered substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices.
