Intended Use
The EBI SpineLink™ System, a spinal fixation device for the noncervical spine, is indicated for (a) anterior fixation, (b) posterior hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation and ® pedicle screw fixation. When used as an anterior fixation system or as a posterior hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation system, the system is indicated for nonpedicle spinal applications for the reduction, alignment or stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral segments of the spine, in cases of degenerative disc disease which is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or revision of failed fusion attempts. When used as a pedicle screw fixation system, it is intended for patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar - first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only, ® who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine; and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. The system are limited to L3- S1 or iliac screw fixation with the fusion only at L5-S1.
Device Description
The EBI SpineLink™ System is a spinal fixation device for the noncervical spine consisting of fixed and polydirectional pedicle/sacral screws (available in diameters from 5,5 to 7.5 mm), various types of interconnecting links, lock nuts, and different types of washers.

No
The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a spinal fixation system, indicated for surgical stabilization of the spine, not for therapy in the sense of actively treating a condition without surgical intervention.

No

Explanation: The document describes the EBI SpineLink™ System as a "spinal fixation device." Its stated purpose is for "reduction, alignment or stabilization" of the spine, and it consists of components like screws and connectors. This functionality is therapeutic and structural, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like screws, links, lock nuts, and washers, 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 clearly describes a spinal fixation device used for surgical implantation to stabilize the spine. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device description lists components like screws, links, nuts, and washers, which are all physical components for surgical fixation. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or anything used to test biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is to provide mechanical support and stability to the spine. It does not perform any tests on biological samples to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The EBI SpineLink™ System, a spinal fixation device for the noncervical spine, is indicated for (a) anterior fixation, (b) posterior hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation and (pedicle screw fixation.

When used as an anterior fixation system or as a posterior hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation system, the system is indicated for nonpedicle spinal applications for the reduction, alignment or stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral segments of the spine, in cases of degenerative disc disease which is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or revision of failed fusion attempts.

When used as a pedicle screw fixation system, it is intended for patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar - first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only, (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine; and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. The system are limited to L3- S1 or iliac screw fixation with the fusion only at L5-S1.

§ 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.
