Intended Use
PMT Facet Fixation System, Lumbar (PMT FFS-LX) is an integrated construct comprised of a CAVUX Cage and an ALLY Bone Screw. PMT FFS-LX is placed bilaterally through a posterior surgical approach and spans the facet interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct. PMT FFS-LX is intended to provide temporary stabilization as an adjunct to a 1 or 2 level interbody lumbar fusion with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft and must be accompanied with an FDA cleared intervertebral body fusion device implanted at the same spinal level (s), and may be used with a pedicle screw and rod system implanted at the same spinal level(s). PMT FFS-LX is indicated for the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) from L4 to S1 in skeletally mature patients who have failed conservative care.
Device Description
PMT Facet Fixation System, Lumbar (PMT FFS-LX) is composed of CAVUX® Cages and ALLY® Bone Screws, an integrated construct, manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy and supplied sterile for single use only with a pre-attached disposable delivery handle/inserter. PMT FFS-LX provides temporary stabilization by spanning the facet interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct and provides fixation as an adjunct to fusion. An ALLY Bone Screw is intended to be utilized to provide additional anchoring. CAVUX Cages are offered in a variety of sizes to accommodate various patient anatomies and pathology. The cage is designed to be filled with bone graft to permit formation of new bone through the device. ALLY Bone Screws are fully threaded. CORUS™ Spinal System is recommended to access the site and perform posterior fusion.
More Information

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

Yes
The device is intended to provide temporary stabilization as an adjunct to lumbar fusion for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The PMT Facet Fixation System, Lumbar is an implantable device intended for temporary stabilization and fixation during spinal fusion surgery, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of physical components (CAVUX® Cages and ALLY® Bone Screws) made from titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, 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, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The PMT Facet Fixation System, Lumbar (PMT FFS-LX) is a physical implantable device (cages and screws) used in surgery to provide temporary stabilization during lumbar spinal fusion. It is placed directly into the patient's body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description does not mention any testing of samples from the body or any diagnostic function. Its purpose is mechanical support and stabilization.

Therefore, the PMT FFS-LX falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies

The following mechanical tests were performed on the subject device: 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, and subsidence testing per ASTM F2267. An in-vitro biomechanical evaluation was also conducted.

Clinical data were provided on the subject device, comparing to other lumbar fusion techniques, utilizing radiographic and CT evaluations, peri-operative findings, patient reported outcomes, and assessments of safety and effectiveness. Clinical and radiographic data provided satisfactory clinical outcomes to support use of the subject device when used as temporary stabilization along with an intervertebral body fusion device at the same spinal level(s) as an adjunct to lumbar fusion.

CORUS™ Spinal System is recommended to access the site and perform posterior fusion.

Indications for Use

PMT Facet Fixation System, Lumbar (PMT FFS-LX) is an integrated construct comprised of a CAVUX Cage and an ALLY Bone Screw. PMT FFS-LX is placed bilaerally through a posterior surgical approach and spans the facet interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct. PMT FFS-LX is intended to provide temporary stabilization as an adjunct to a 1 or 2 level interbody lumbar fusion with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft and must be accompanied with an FDA cleared intervertebral body fusion device implanted at the same spinal level (s), and may be used with a pedicle screw and rod system implanted at the same spinal level(s).

PMT FFS-LX is indicated for the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) from L4 to S1 in skeletally mature patients who have failed conservative care.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The intended use, materials of construction, and sterilization method is the same as the primary predicate device. The design is the same as the reference devices.

Performance Data

The following mechanical tests were performed on the subject device: 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, and subsidence testing per ASTM F2267. An in-vitro biomechanical evaluation was also conducted.

The logo consists of an orange symbol on the left, followed by the words "PROVIDENCE" in gray and "MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY" in orange. The symbol is a stylized, abstract shape that resembles a curved letter "P" or a series of interconnected arcs.

Clinical data were provided on the subject device, comparing to other lumbar fusion techniques, utilizing radiographic and CT evaluations, peri-operative findings, patient reported outcomes, and assessments of safety and effectiveness. Clinical and radiographic data provided satisfactory clinical outcomes to support use of the subject device when used as temporary stabilization along with an intervertebral body fusion device at the same spinal level(s) as an adjunct to lumbar fusion.

Conclusion

The information submitted by Providence Medical Technology in this premarket notification demonstrates that PMT FFS-LX performs as intended and is substantially equivalent for its intended use.
