The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of the implant and instrumentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies rely on previous 510(k) submissions and published literature, not on the evaluation of an AI/ML model.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an implant for orthopaedic surgery, specifically for spinal applications, intended to provide temporary stabilization and aid in the repair of bone fractures, which are therapeutic functions.
No
The LigaPASS™ system is an implant for orthopaedic surgery, designed to provide stabilization and aid in the repair of bone fractures; it does not diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polyester and titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as a component of the device itself.
Based on the provided text, the LigaPASS™ system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "implant for use in orthopaedic surgery" for "temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and id in the repair of bone fractures." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details physical components like bands, connectors, set screws, and their materials (polyester, titanium alloy). It explains how these components are used surgically to stabilize the spine.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The LigaPASS™ system does not interact with or analyze such specimens.
Therefore, the LigaPASS™ system is a surgical implant, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LigaPASS™ system is an implant for use in orthopaedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and id in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use are as follows:
· Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques;
· Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adults scoliosis and kyphosis;
· Spine degenerative surgery as an adjunct to spinal fusions.
· Intended for use with a posterior spinal instrumentation construct when ligamentation is needed.
The LigaPASS™ system may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium or cobalt-chrome alloy whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

Device Description
The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications of the LigaPASS™ system to include the use with a posterior spinal instrumentation construct when ligament augmentation is needed.
The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System provides surgeons the ability to mimic anatomical muscle and ligament functionality and stabilization between vertebrae that are collapsed during surgery before fusion. The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System is designed to restore balance and stability as a complement to a posterior thoracolumbar fixation system. Ergonomic instrumentation provides smooth assembly with self-stabilizing tensioners and torque-limiting locking tools. The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System consists of a polyester (PET) band and titanium alloy medial open connector with 2 set screws.
LigaPASS™ bands allow the surgeon to create a posterior vertebra anchorage without theuse of a pedicle screw or hook. Instead of a pedicle screw or hook, the LigaPASS™ bands are laced around the vertebra independently of the vertebra anatomy and then connected to a LigaPASSTM connector to make the rod-bone connection.
The LigaPASS™ 2.0 bands are comprised of a PET braid and pure titanium (T40) malleable leads at the ends of the bands. The malleable tips help the surgeon to lace the band around the vertebra. They can be bent by the surgeon to make it pass under and through the vertebral body easier.
The LigaPASS™ connectors allow surgeons to attach a rod to a vertebral body without the use of the pedicle. Instead of a pedicle screw, the LigaPASS™ connector use a facet band to make the rod-bone connection. The connectors are comprised of a connector body, a rod set screw, a locking set screw for the band and a polyester band. The body of these connectors is manufactured from titanium allov (Ti-6Al-4V). The part is compatible with any rods made of titanium or cobalt chromium alloys between diameters 5.5 mm and 6.0 mm.
