The summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is designed to provide stabilization and aid in the surgical correction of spinal conditions, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device, the Dual Rod Anterior Fixator System, is described as an implant designed to provide stabilization and aid in surgical correction of the spine during fusion development, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components made of titanium alloy or stainless steel (Dual Rod Fixator, transverse connector, bolts, nut). This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is designed for "surgical correction and stabilization of the spine" and to "assist stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and fixation.
- Device Description: The description details components like rods, connectors, bolts, and nuts made from titanium or stainless steel, which are materials used for surgical implants.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The provided text does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens for diagnostic purposes.
The device described is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's spine during surgery.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Dr. Treharne:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device system referenced above and we have determined the device system is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to device systems marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976 or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market your device system subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations identified below.
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. Note that labeling or otherwise promoting this device system for pedicular screw fixation/attachment would cause the device system to be adulterated under 501(f)(1) of the Act.

Page 2 - Richard W. Treharne, Ph.D.
FDA identifies that any device system, if intended for use in pedicular screw fixation/attachment, except for some limited indications, would be found not substantially equivalent and would be a class III device under Section 513(f) of the Act. Class III devices are required to have an approved premarket approval (PMA) application prior to marketing. Accordingly:
- You may not label or in any way promote this device 1. system for pedicular screw attachment to, or fixation of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar vertebral column. Therefore, in order to prevent off-label promotion, the package insert must include the following statement, This device system is not approved for screw "WARNING: attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.";
- All labeling for this device system, including the 2. package label, must state that there are labeling limitations. The package insert must prominently state that the device system is intended for the specific use(s) described in the enclosure only; and
- Pedicular screw fixation/attachment to the cervical, 3. thoracic or lumbar vertebral column, except for limited indications, of any device system is considered investigational and may only be investigated as a significant risk device in accordance with the investigational device exemption (IDE) regulations under 21 CFR, Part 812. All users of the device system for _ pedicular screw fixation/attachment must receive approval from their respective institutional review boards (IRBs) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to conducting an investigation.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may he subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical

Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Requlations.
FDA advises that the use of the subject device system and/or device components with any other device components but those identified in this 510(k) would require submission of a new 510(k) providing documentation of design, material, and labeling compatibility between the device components. Mechanical testing of a spinal system consisting of the subject device components and other device components, whether yours or other manufacturers', may also be required.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification immediately. An FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659.
