Intended Use
PMT Facet Fixation System (PMT FFS) is an integrated construct comprised of a CAVUX Cage and a single ALLY Bone Screw. PMT FFS is placed bilaterally through a posterior surgical approach and spans the interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct. PMT FFS is intended for temporary stabilization as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion in skeletally mature patients. PMT FFS is indicated for patients requiring a revision for an anterior pseudarthrosis at one level, from C3 to C7, with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft.
Device Description
The PMT Facet Fixation System (PMT FFS) is composed of CAVUX Cages and ALLY Bone Screws as an integrated construct with both manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy 6AI4V—ELI Ti (ASTM F136) and supplied sterile for single use only. The components are provided with a pre-attached disposable delivery handle/inserter. PMT FFS achieves facet fixation by spaming the interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct and provides bilateral rigid fixation as an adjunct to fusion with ALLY Bone Screws providing additional anchoring. CAVUX Cages are fusion devices offered in a variety of sizes to accommodate various patient anatomies and pathology. The center of the cage is hollow and designed to be filled with bone graft into the "windows" to permit formation of new bone through the cage. The ALLY Bone Screw is fully threaded. CORUS® Spinal System is recommended to access the site and perform posterior cervical fusion.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an integrated construct intended for temporary stabilization and fixation to aid in posterior cervical fusion, rather than directly treating or curing a disease.

No

The device is described as an integrated construct for temporary stabilization as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion, indicating a therapeutic or surgical purpose rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the PMT Facet Fixation System is composed of physical components (CAVUX Cages and ALLY Bone Screws) manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy. It is a hardware device intended for surgical implantation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the PMT Facet Fixation System is for "temporary stabilization as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion." This describes a surgical implant used to provide structural support and aid in bone fusion within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium alloy, consisting of a cage and a screw. It is designed to be surgically placed within the spine.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

Summary of Performance Studies

The following mechanical tests were performed on the subject PMT FFS: static and dynamic axial compression and compression shear testing per ASTM F2077, screw push-out testing (anti-backout mechanism testing), torsional strength testing per ASTM F543, expulsion testing per ASTM F2267.

Clinical data from a prospective multicenter clinical study of the PMT FFS was presented. PMT FFS was compared to other cervical fusion techniques utilizing radiographic and CT evaluations, peri-operative findings, patient reported outcomes, and assessments of safety and effectiveness. Long-term clinical and radiographic data provided satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Dear Mr. Liou:

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.
