Intended Use
The components of the Next Generation Rodding System are indicated for spinal fixation. When used as an anterolateral/anterior system consisting of rods and screws, the levels of attachment are the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. The points of attachment and methods are screw fixation to the anterolateral vertebral bodies of the lumbar and thoracic spine (T6-L5) and the anterior vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The indications are degenerative disc disease defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). When used as a nonpedicle posterior system consisting of hooks, crosslinks and sacral/liac screws the levels of attachments are the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine and sacrum and ilium. Intended uses include hook and sacral screw fixation to the lumbar spine, noncervical spine and to the T1-S1 spine; and hook and sacral/lijac screw fixation to the noncervical spine. The indications are degenerative disc disease defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degenerative of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumors, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). When used as a pedicle screw system, in the non-cervical spine of skeletally mature patients, the Next Generation Rodding System is indicated for patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) at the L5-S1 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 (L3 and below); and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of solid fusion mass. In addition, when used as a pedicle screw system, in the non-cervical spine of skeletally mature patients, the Next Generation Rodding System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, as an adjunct to fusion, in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic imparment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).
Device Description
The components of the Next Generation Rodding System are indicated for spinal fixation. The material used is implant grade material that conforms to ASTM Specification for wrought Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, deformities, tumor, and pseudoarthrosis, which are conditions requiring therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as a "Next Generation Rodding System" for "spinal fixation," indicating it is an implant used for treatment and stabilization rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the components are made of "implant grade material that conforms to ASTM Specification for wrought Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)," indicating a physical hardware device for spinal fixation.

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 the Next Generation Rodding System is a system of components (rods, screws, hooks, crosslinks) intended for spinal fixation. This involves surgically implanting the device into the patient's body to stabilize the spine.
  • Lack of Mention of Samples or Testing: The text does not mention any analysis of biological samples or any diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Next Generation Rodding System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
