The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties, materials, and surgical techniques associated with pedicle screws and bone cement. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device, "NEO Pedicle Screw System™", is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, often used as an adjunct to fusion for various conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. When used with "BonOs® Inject Cement", it is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column in patients with advanced stage tumors. These uses directly involve treating or mitigating a disease, injury, or medical condition, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device. Similarly, "BonOs® Inject" is indicated for treating pathological fractures of the vertebral body due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions using vertebroplasty or balloon kyphoplasty, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The NEO Pedicle Screw System™ and BonOs® Inject are devices intended for immobilization, stabilization, and restoration of the spinal column or treatment of pathological vertebral body fractures. Their function is therapeutic/surgical, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as pedicle screws, iliac screws, rods, connectors, and bone cement, which are hardware.
Based on the provided text, the NEO Pedicle Screw System™ and BonOs® Inject are not IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) devices.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The descriptions of the NEO Pedicle Screw System™ and BonOs® Inject clearly indicate they are implantable medical devices used for surgical procedures on the spine.
- The intended use and device descriptions focus on providing structural support, stabilization, and fusion within the body. They are not designed to analyze biological samples.
- The performance studies described are mechanical, biological, and MRI compatibility evaluations, which are typical for implantable devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, the NEO Pedicle Screw System™ and BonOs® Inject fall under the category of implantable surgical devices, not IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Finite element analysis and engineering rationales were performed to justify that the subject components do not represent a new worst case for mechanical performance. Additionally, the new axial connector was included in a construct tested according to ASTM F1717 for dynamic compression bending. Mechanical testing also confirmed that the conical press-fit connection between the ball attachment and the 10.0 mm diameter illac screw thread is sufficiently strong through measurement of the torque resistance of the assembled screw. Results of these evaluations demonstrate substantially equivalent mechanical performance.
Biological evaluation has been performed for the new 10.0 mm diameter iliac screws of the modified NEO Pedicle Screw System™ in accordance with the ISO 10993-1 series. A new cleaning and sterilization validation has been performed for the new 10.0 mm diameter illiac screws.
The new system components have been evaluated in regards to Magnetic field interactions ASTM F2052-15, MRI-related heating ASTM F2182-11a and Artifacts ASTM F2119-07 (R2013). Non-clinical testing demonstrated that the entire family of the NEO Pedicle Screw System™ is MRI conditional. The previous conclusions and MR conditional K222256 remain valid.
An internal validation of the new axial connectors of the modified NEO Pedicle Screw System™ was performed and confirmed they function as intended.
No clinical studies were conducted.
