The device description focuses on mechanical components (screws, rods, plates) and materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests.
Yes
The device is a spinal fixation system used to stabilize the spine and promote fusion for various spinal conditions, which are therapeutic interventions.
No.
The device description clearly states that the Opus™ Spinal System is a "spinal fixation device." Its stated intended uses are for providing pedicle screw fixation for various spinal conditions, indicating it is an implantable surgical device for structural support rather than for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of titanium alloy, such as screws, rods, and plates, which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The Opus Spinal System is described as a spinal fixation device consisting of screws, rods, lateral connectors, and plates. These are physical implants used to stabilize the spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical implantation to fix and stabilize the non-cervical posterior spine in skeletally mature patients for various conditions like spondylolisthesis, fracture, scoliosis, etc. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

Device Description
The Opus" Spinal System is a spinal fixation device for the noncervical spine. All components are manufactured from ISO 5832/3 (equivalent to ASTM F-136-96) titanium alloy (Ti6Al-4V ELL). The system consists of conical and cylindrical screws, rods, lateral connectors, and plates.
Bone Screws: These screws are threaded at both the distal and the proximal ends. The distal aspect of the screws features cancellous bone threads. The proximal aspect of the screws features standard metric threads. The area between the proximal and distal threads has a hexagonal cross-section used to remove the screw. Screws are available in a variety of diameters and lengths. Additionally, the screws are available in extended proximal length and/or extended hexagonal section configurations.
Rods: The spinal rods are 6mm in diameter and range in length from 40mm to 480mm. A 600mm rod is also available. Rods are assembled to the screws through the use of a lateral connector and a rod nut.
Plates: The plates have 2 or 3 holes and their lengths range from 41mm to 75mm. Plates are assembled to the screws through the use of a washer and a plate nut.

(a)
Identification. (1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
“Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(v) Labeling must include the following:
(A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation;
(C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and
(E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
(3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate.
(ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
