Intended Use
The Harvester SI Fusion System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroillac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroillitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months.
Device Description
The Harvester SI: Sacroiliac Fixation System (also called Harvest SI Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System and Harvester SI Fusion System) is comprised of threaded fusion implants for coupling and fusing the ilium to the sacroiliac fusion). The goal of the fusion arthrodesis is to immobilize the sacroiliac joint with two (2) or more threaded implants. The procedure may or may not be bilateral. The Harvester SI System Fusion implants are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. The Harvester SI Fusion System is offered in various diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy. Instruments are provided that facilitate the insertion of the implants.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and materials of the implants and instruments, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion to treat conditions like sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis, which directly addresses a medical condition and aims to provide therapeutic benefit by immobilizing the joint.

No

This device is a fusion system intended for sacroiliac joint fusion, which is a treatment or therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "threaded fusion implants" made of titanium alloy and includes "instruments" for insertion, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Harvester SI Fusion System is a system of threaded implants designed to be surgically inserted into the sacroiliac joint to fuse the bones together. It is a physical implant used within the body, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for sacroiliac joint fusion, a surgical procedure to stabilize a joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant system, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

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

The Harvester SI: Sacroiliac Fixation System has been tested in the following test modes:

  • Axial pullout per ASTM F543 ●
  • Torsional properties per ASTM F543
  • Static cantilever bending per ASTM F2193
  • o Dynamic cantilever bending per ASTM F2193

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the Harvester SI: Sacroiliac Fixation System is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Nathan Wright:

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 probibitions 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.
