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.
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.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the BALTEUM™ Lumbar Plate System describes a spinal implant and therefore does not concern an AI/ML powered medical device. As such, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, and AI/ML model performance is not applicable to this document.
The document focuses on non-clinical testing for substantial equivalence to predicate devices, which is typical for traditional hardware implants.
§ 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.
