More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal osteosynthesis system and its components, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended to immobilize spinal segments and treat various medical conditions such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and fractures, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as an osteosynthesis system intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion, comprised of mechanical components like screws, rods, and connectors. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or gather diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like screws, rods, and surgical instruments made of titanium alloy and cobalt chromium, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant system for stabilizing the spine. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of a spinal implant system (screws, rods, etc.) and their materials. This aligns with a surgical device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties (compression, torsion), which are relevant to the structural integrity of an implant, not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
