Intended Use
Pedicle Screw System: The MASADA Modular Spinal Fixation System is intended for immobilization and stabilization of the posterior, non-cervical spine in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease ( defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the MASADA pedicle screw implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The MASADA pedicle screw is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach. Navigated Instrument System: The MASADA navigated instruments are intended to be used in the preparation and placement of MASADA screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. These instruments are designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. Refer to the Astura Navigated Instrument system Instructions For Use (INS-00006) regarding the use of these instruments. Sublaminar Band System: The MASADA sublaminar band is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The band system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: - Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques. - Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age or older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. - Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions. The MASADA sublaminar band may also be used in conjunction with other medical grade implants made of similar metals whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of the other implants.

No
The summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and navigated instruments used with a separate navigation system. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The navigation system relies on pre-existing imaging data or digitized landmarks, not AI/ML processing.

Yes
The device is described as a "Spinal Fixation System" intended for "immobilization and stabilization of the posterior, non-cervical spine" and as an "adjunct to fusion" for various medical conditions like "degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion." These are all therapeutic applications.

No

The descriptions of the Pedicle Screw System, Navigated Instrument System, and Sublaminar Band System indicate that they are used for immobilization, stabilization, and placement during surgery, not for diagnosing a condition. The navigated instruments assist in precisely locating anatomical structures, which is a surgical aid, not a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states the system is composed of physical components like screws, rods, and instruments, and the intended use involves surgical implantation. While it mentions a navigated instrument system that uses software (Medtronic StealthStation® System), the overall device is a physical spinal fixation system.

Based on the provided text, 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 description clearly states that this system is for the immobilization and stabilization of the spine using implants (screws, rods, bands, etc.) and instruments for surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application, meaning it is used within the living body.
  • No Mention of Samples or Testing: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing diagnostic tests on them.
  • Focus on Surgical Intervention: The entire description revolves around surgical procedures, implant placement, and navigation during surgery.

Therefore, the MASADA Modular Spinal Fixation System is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
