Intended Use

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or otherwise unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (e.g., fracture).

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. It is recommended that bone graft material be packed in the interior openings of the device prior to implantation.

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is intended for use with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems, such as the BodyForm Thoracolumbar Fixation System (K983622, SE 12/98) or Coral Pedicle Screw System (K041592, SE 9/04).

Device Description

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is comprised of a cylindrical titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) mechanism with rectangular endplates. The system has fenestrations axially and laterally to maximize bone graft placement. The implants are manufactured in a variety of geometric combinations to better fit each patient's pathology. The anatomically designed endplates are designed to minimize expulsion and rotation of the implant postoperatively. The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) per ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 standards. The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement construct is used individually and is always implanted with the construct oriented vertically.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a spinal implant device (x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement), not a diagnostic AI device. Therefore, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details as these are not relevant to the approval process for this type of medical device.

The approval is based on "substantial equivalence" to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it has similar intended use, design, and physical characteristics, and performs comparably in mechanical testing, not through clinical performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information.

Intended Use:

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or otherwise unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (e.g., fracture).

The x•POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. It is recommended that bone graft material be packed in the interior openings of the device prior to implantation.

The x•POD Adiustable Vertebral Body Replacement is intended for use with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems, such as the BodyForm Thoracolumbar Fixation System (K983622, SE 12/98) or Coral Pedicle Screw System (K041592, SE 9/04).

C. Substantial Equivalence

The technological characteristics of the x-POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement are similar to the following predicate devices:

REVEAL VBR System manufactured by Theken Spine, LLC (K050058, SE 05/17/05). VBRTM manufactured by Osteotech, Inc (K003155, SE 01/04/2001). VBR™ manufactured by Osteotech, Inc (K012254, SE 11/16/2001). Synex Spacer System manufactured by Synthes (USA) (K003836, SE 05/29/2001).

Establishment of equivalence is based on similarities of intended use, design, and physical characteristics. All implants are used to treat the same conditions, have the same precautions and contraindications for use, and have the same potential for complications. Based on the design concept, the use of established materials, mechanical testing, indications for use, pre-production quality assurance planning and engineering andysis, Theken Spine believes that the x.POD Adjustable Vertebral Body Replacement is substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices.

Dear Mr. Davison:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
