Intended Use
The BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System is intended for use via a lateral or anterolateral surgical approach above the bifurcation of the great vessels in the treatment of thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability or via the anterior surgical approach, below the bifurcation of the great vessels in the treatment of lumbar and lumbosacral (L1-S1) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation and subluxation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), scoliosis, lordosis, spinal stenosis, or a failed previous spine surgery. The device is intended as a temporary fixation device until fusion is achieved.
Device Description
The BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System consists of non-sterile, single use, rigid plates and bone screws of varying sizes and lengths to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. The plate attaches by means of screws to the vertebral body of the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) either through an antero-lateral, or lateral approach and to the lumbar/lumbosacral spine (L1-S1) through an anterior approach. The system includes instrumentation which assists in the surgical implantation of the device.
More Information

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

No.
The document indicates "The device is intended as a temporary fixation device until fusion is achieved," which describes a structural support rather than a therapeutic action.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Lumbar Plate System" which is a "temporary fixation device" used for spinal instability. This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "rigid plates and bone screws of varying sizes and lengths" and "instrumentation which assists in the surgical implantation of the device," indicating it is a hardware-based implant system, not software only.

Based on the provided information, 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 detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System is a physical implantable device (plates and screws) used for spinal fixation during surgery. It is a temporary fixation device until fusion is achieved.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide stability to the spine in cases of instability due to various conditions like fracture, tumor, degenerative disc disease, etc. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description clearly indicates a surgical implant used for structural support, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

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

Non-clinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The following testing was performed in accordance with the ASTM F1717:

  • Static compression
  • Dynamic compression
  • Static Torsion
    The nonclinical tests demonstrate that the BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. George:

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/cfpmn/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.
