Intended Use
PMT Posterior Cervical Stabilization System (PCSS) is posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. PMT PCSS is placed through a posterior surgical approach in up to 3 consecutive levels of the cervical spine (C3-C7) and achieves bilateral facet fixation by spanning the facet interspace at each level with points of fixation at each end of the construct. PMT PCSS is intended as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and is only intended to be used in combination with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at the same level(s). PMT PCSS is indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies. PMT PCSS is to be used with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft.
Device Description
PMT PCSS is posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. The device is placed through a posterior surgical approach in up to 3 consecutive levels of the cervical spine (C3-C7) and achieves bilateral facet fixation by spanning the facet interspace at each level with points of fixation at each end of the construct. The device is manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (6A14V) and supplied sterile for single use only with a pre-attached disposable delivery instruments. The implant is fenestrated and is to be used with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft. The design incorporates "windows" through the implant to permit visualization of the graft material and, over time, formation of new bone. CORUS® Spinal System is used to access and prepare the site for posterior fusion.

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

Yes
The device is described as "posterior spinal instrumentation... intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments" and is used as an "adjunct to posterior cervical fusion." It is indicated for degenerative disc disease to alleviate symptoms like radiculopathy, myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain, and demonstrably aids in achieving fusion success, all of which are directly related to treating a medical condition.

No

The device is a surgical implant designed to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments for fusion, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is "posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation" manufactured from "medical grade titanium alloy". This indicates a physical, implantable hardware device, not software.

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 taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The PMT Posterior Cervical Stabilization System (PCSS) is a surgical implant designed to provide mechanical stabilization and immobilization of spinal segments in the cervical spine. It is a physical device implanted into the body during surgery.
  • No Mention of Samples or Testing: The description focuses on the surgical procedure, the materials of the implant, and its function in supporting spinal fusion. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing diagnostic tests.

Therefore, the PMT PCSS falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

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

Non-Clinical performance data included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatibility testing to provide labeling recommendations for 1.5 T and 3 T clinical scanners, including RF Heating Testing per ASTM F2182, Displacement Force and Torque Testing per ASTM F2052, and Image Artifact Testing per ASTM F2119. The results indicated that the devices should be labeled MR Conditional per relevant ASTM standards.

Clinical performance data from a prospective, multicenter, randomized, clinical trial of PCSS was presented. Over 200 subjects with cervical degenerative disc disease at 3 consecutive levels were randomized and treated with either 3-level circumferential cervical fusion with PCSS and ACDF (CCF) (investigational arm) or 3-level ACDF alone (control arm). Radiographic evaluations, peri-operative findings, patient reported outcomes, and other assessments of safety and effectiveness at 12 and 24 months were utilized. At 12 months, the primary endpoint of fusion success demonstrated a superior fusion rate for subjects treated with PCSS and ACDF (CCF) compared to ACDF alone.

PMT PCSS is intended as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and is only intended to be used in combination with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at the same level(s).

PMT PCSS is indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies.

PMT PCSS is to be used with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft.

C. Technological Characteristics

PMT PCSS components are supplied in a variety of sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. The superior and inferior surfaces on the stabilizer feature teeth that provide bony contact with the endplates, a box shape in the center has fenestrations (windows) intended to house bone graft. The integrated screws provide additional anchoring, and delivery instruments facilitate insertion into the facet joint space and feature a physical stop to prevent over-insertion.

D. Performance Testing

No new mechanical bench testing was supplied in this submission given that the subject implants have been previously cleared for the same intended use in K220951.

Non-Clinical performance data included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatibility testing to provide labeling recommendations for 1.5 T and 3 T clinical scanners, including RF Heating Testing per ASTM F2182, Displacement Force and Torque Testing per ASTM F2052, and Image Artifact Testing per ASTM F2119. The results indicated that the devices should be labeled MR Conditional per relevant ASTM standards.

Clinical performance data from a prospective, multicenter, randomized, clinical trial of PCSS was presented. Over 200 subjects with cervical degenerative disc disease at 3 consecutive levels were randomized and treated with either 3-level circumferential cervical fusion with PCSS and ACDF (CCF) (investigational arm) or 3-level ACDF alone (control arm). Radiographic evaluations, peri-operative findings, patient reported outcomes, and other assessments of safety and effectiveness at 12 and 24 months were utilized. At 12 months, the primary endpoint of fusion success demonstrated a superior fusion rate for subjects treated with PCSS and ACDF (CCF) compared to ACDF alone.

These non-clinical and clinical performance data demonstrate the substantial equivalence of safety and effectiveness profiles of PCSS for immobilization and stabilization of the facet joints as an adjunct to tissue-sparing posterior fusion until fusion occurs.

E. Basis of Substantial Equivalence

A comparison of the subject and predicate devices results in a determination of substantial equivalence. The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use, similar indications for use, and same technological characteristics, materials of construction, principles of operation, design features and characteristics.

The conclusions drawn from the performance testing demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device. It is determined that the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent.
