Intended Use
The OrthoFundamentals TRELLIST™ SI Joint Fusion and Stabilization Implant System is intended for fixation of sacroiliac joint disruptions, and intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including: Sacroiliac joint disruptions Degenerative sacroiliitis To augment immobilization and stabilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion and Acute, non-acute, and non-traumatic fractures involving the sacroiliac joint.
Device Description
The TRELLIS™ SI Joint Fusion System is a multiple component system consisting of sterile single use accessory instruments and sterile individually packaged screws of various lengths and diameters. The screws are designed to compress and stabilize the sacroiliac joint during the fusion process. They are self-tapping and are designed with a porous mid-shaft region to allow bone to grow onto and into its surface. The cannulated screws have axial fenestrations that allow bone through growth and packing with autograft bone or allograft material. The screws are designed to promote bony fusion onto and into the implant through the macro-surface topography which is generated through EBM additive manufacturing. The fenestration geometry harvests autograft during insertion which helps create an environment for bony in-growth and on-growth.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system and its associated instruments. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are bench tests of mechanical properties.

Yes.
The device is intended for fixation and fusion of the sacroiliac joint, addressing conditions such as disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis, which directly treat a medical condition.

No
The device is described as an implant system for fixation and fusion of the sacroiliac joint, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (screws, accessory instruments) and bench testing related to the mechanical properties of these hardware components. There is no mention of software as a component of the device.

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 fixation and fusion of the sacroiliac joint. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of screws designed to be implanted into the sacroiliac joint. This is a physical implant, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for use in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

In summary, the OrthoFundamentals TRELLIST™ SI Joint Fusion and Stabilization Implant System is a surgical implant device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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 Howard Schrayer:

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.

Device Description

The TRELLIS™ SI Joint Fusion System is a multiple component system consisting of sterile single use accessory instruments and sterile individually packaged screws of various lengths and diameters. The screws are designed to compress and stabilize the sacroiliac joint during the fusion process. They are self-tapping and are designed with a porous mid-shaft region to allow bone to grow onto and into its surface. The cannulated screws have axial fenestrations that allow bone through growth and packing with autograft bone or allograft material. The screws are designed to promote bony fusion onto and into the implant through the macro-surface topography which is generated through EBM additive manufacturing. The fenestration geometry harvests autograft during insertion which helps create an environment for bony in-growth and on-growth.

Indications for Use

The OrthoFundamentals TRELLIS™ SI Joint Fusion System is indicated for fixation of sacroiliac joint disruptions, and intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including:

  • · sacroiliac joint disruptions
  • · degenerative sacroiliitis
  • · to augment immobilization and stabilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion and
  • · acute, non-acute, and non-traumatic fractures involving the sacroiliac ioint.
