No

The device description clearly states it is a construct consisting of physical components like screws, plates, nuts, washers, and a transverse connector, and the performance studies involve testing of these physical components.

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 surgical implant for stabilizing the spine in cases of spondylolisthesis. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of screws, plates, nuts, washers, and a connector, all designed for surgical implantation. This aligns with a medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or spinal fixation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The TiMX Plate Based Low Back System is a construct that consists of pedicle and sacral screws, spine plates, nuts, washers and a transverse connector. This modified system provides increased pedicle screw strength, increased construct fatigue performance, increased construct stiffness, improved geometry and lower profile than its predecessor, the titanium alloy VSP Spinal System.

TiMX Pedicle Screws are made from implant grade titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136 specifications. The TiMX Pedicle Screw is a variation of the existing titanium alloy pedicle screw previously cleared for the VSP Spinal System under K944736. The machine thread portion of the TiMx pedicle screws are available in two thread lengths: Standard (30.0 mm) and No Cut "+5" (17.0 mm). The No Cut " +5" machine thread requires no cutting when the screw is used with a TiMx Spine Plate and Washer. Both the Standard and No Cut " +5" thread length TiMx Pedicle screws are available in four cancellous diameters: 5.50 mm, 6.25 mm, 7.00 mm, and 7.75 mm. The larger size pedicle screws, 7.00 mm and 7.75 mm, may also be used in the sacrum. The cancellous portion of the Standard thread length is available in seven lengths that range from 25 mm to 55 mm in five millimeter increments. The cancellous portion of the No Cut "+5" thread length is also available in seven lengths that range from 30 mm to 60 mm in five millimeter increments.

TiMX Sacral Screws are made from implant grade titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136 specifications. The TiMX Sacral Screw is a variation of the existing titanium alloy sacral screw previously cleared for the VSP Spinal System under K944736. The TiMX Sacral Screw is designed with a larger diameter, 8.5 mm, for placement into the sacrum. TiMX Sacral Screws are available in the No Cut "+5" (17.0 mm) machine thread length only. The No Cut "+5" machine thread requires no cutting when the screw is used with a TiMX Spine Plate and Washer. The cancellous portion is available in four lengths that range from 35 mm to 50 mm in five millimeter increments.

TiMX Spine Plates are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136 specifications. The TiMX Spine Plate design is a variation of titanium alloy VSP Spine Plates previously cleared for the VSP Spinal System under K951116. The spine plate contains a series of elongated slots along the length of the plate that facilitate the longitudinal positioning of the plate. A series of overlapping nests is machines into the upper surface of the plate, producing a nested appearance in each slot. The nests prevent movement between the plate and the TiMX spherical nut when The slots, with their machine tapered nests, offer the tightened. possibility of accurate yet variable screw placement. All corners and angles on the spine plates are rounded and smoothed to reduce potential stress concentrations. The spine plates have between one and three slots each, with their length increasing by half slot increments. Plate lengths vary from 31 mm for the shortened One Slot Plate to 138.4 mm for the 3.5A Slot Plate. All plates are 5.3 mm thick and "A" series TiMX plates are 13.0 mm wide.

TiMX Washers are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136 specifications. The TiMX Washer design is a variation of titanium alloy VSP Washers previously cleared for the VSP Spinal System under K944736. Washers are available in two styles: flat and tapered. Flat washers come in three sizes, 3 mm, 4.50mm and 5.0 mm. All edges of the washers are rounded. All washers have a chamfered inner hole for placement on the machine threaded portion of the TiMX screws. The tapered washer comes in one size with two different shaped inner holes: one round and the other oblong. The flat washer is used to elevate the plates above the flat surface of the pedicle screw's integral nut. The washer provides a flat surface for the plate to rest upon, reducing bending stress placed on the screw. It corrects for the uneven topography of the surgically prepared bone bed, permits facet joint clearance, and creates more space under the plate for bone graft packing (aka the posterolateral fusion).

TiMX Transverse Connector is manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136 specifications. The TiMX Connector design is a variation of titanium alloy VSP Transverse Connector previously cleared for the VSP Spinal System under K944736. The connector has three components; one left connector assembly, one right connector assembly and one rod. Each connector assembly has two parts: a body and a set screw. The rod is available in 1 diameter: 4.75mm, 100 mm long.

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

Statistical analysis of the results of static and fatigue component testing of the TiMX Pedicle Screw showed significant improvement of the TiMX design in torque plus bending with the VSP plates, better torque to failure performance of the hexlobe feature and 30% improvement in endurance limit of the TiMX design compared to standard titanium VSP pedicle screws. A full battery of testing which consisted of static compression bending, static torsion, and dynamic compression bending was performed on both the TiMX and standard titanium VSP systems. These test results have shown the TiMX plate system is generally superior or equivalent to the previously cleared components of the standard titanium VSP system.
