Intended Use
The Vy Spine™ VyLam™ Laminoplasty System is indicated for use in laminoplasty of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine (C3 to T3) in skeletally mature patients. The system devices are designed for use with allogenic bone graft in order to prevent the allograft from expulsion or impinging on the spinal cord. One device may be used per vertebra.
Device Description
The Vy Spine™ VyLam™ Laminoplasty System is comprised of implant and instrument components. The implant components, plates and screws, will hold the decompression after a laminoplasty procedure. The implant components are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136 and are available in multiple anatomical sizes to accommodate various vertebral bodies. The instruments are manufactured from stainless steel per ASTM F899, high grade plastic, and silicone rubber.

Not Found

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

Yes
The device is described as "implant components, plates and screws, will hold the decompression after a laminoplasty procedure," which clearly indicates its direct role in treating a medical condition by stabilizing the spine.

No

The device description indicates it is a system of implants and instruments designed to hold decompression after a laminoplasty procedure, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of implant and instrument components made of physical materials (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, stainless steel, plastic, silicone rubber), which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for a surgical procedure (laminoplasty) to treat a physical condition in the spine. It involves implanting devices to hold bone graft and prevent impingement on the spinal cord.
  • Device Description: The device consists of implants (plates and screws) and instruments used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.

IVD devices are used for diagnostic purposes by analyzing samples outside the body. This device is a surgical implant and instrument system used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.

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

FEA analyses for the additional plates' four-point bending (based on ASTM F2193) were performed to compare the strength of the additional plates to the standard plate in the predicate Vy Spine™ VyLam™ Laminoplasty System (K232471). The performance data verifies that the subject is substantially equivalent to the predicate Vy Spine™ Laminoplasty System (K232471).

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Jordan Hendrickson:

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 (the 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 available 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
