The Aurora Spine SILO TFX MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.
Device Description
The Aurora Spine SILO TFX MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System includes the SILO TFX Cone, SILO TFX Screw, and the SILO TFX Locking Screw and associated manual surgical instruments. The SILO TFX Cone is comprised of titanium alloy and incorporates a hollow conical shaped barrel with two openings for bone screws for additional anchoring. During the procedure, the implant is inserted in line with the SI Joint via a posterior surgical approach, and bone graft material is placed in the barrel of the implant to facilitate additional bone incorporation after surgery.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system and surgical instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System" intended for "sacroiliac joint fusion," indicating it is used to treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device description indicates it is a "Fixation System" intended for "sacroiliac joint fusion," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (SILO TFX Cone, SILO TFX Screw, SILO TFX Locking Screw, and manual surgical instruments) made of titanium alloy.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Aurora Spine SILO TFX MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System is an implantable device (cone, screws) used for surgical fixation of the sacroiliac joint. It is a physical device inserted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "sacroiliac joint fusion," which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic.

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

The subject device underwent static and dynamic axial compression and static and dynamic compressive shear testing per ASTM 2077, as well as static and dynamic vertical shear testing. The subject devices met all acceptance criteria for all tests. A side-by-side cadaver study was performed to support the performance of the range of motion of the SILO TFX System was compared to a legally marketed predicate device. The results of the cadaver study demonstrated that the SILO TFX System provides comparable stability of the joint to the predicate.

§ 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 Mr. Pollard:

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 prohibitions 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.
