Intended Use
The VERTE-SPANTM Spinal System is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The VERTE-SPAN™ Spinal System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Specifically, the VERTE-SPAN™ device is to be used with the Medtronic Sofamor Danek ZPLATE II Anterior Fixation System, Titanium DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, LAURAIN DEWALD Anterior Fixation System, Titanium TSRH® Spinal System, Titanium CD HORIZON® Spinal System or the Titanium GDLH® Spinal System. Additionally, the VERTE-SPAN™ device is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The VERTE-SPAN™ device consists of titanium cylinders of various lengths and diameters, endplates and break-off set screws. The assembled VERTE-SPAN™ device consists of five components (one hollow metal cylinder, two endplates and two set screws). The VERTE-SPAN™ components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. The VERTE-SPAN™ Spinal System implant components are made of medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) described by ASTM Standard F136 or ISO 5832-3. The purpose of this submission is to add components to the existing system and to incorporate some minor design changes. The VERTE-SPAN™ Spinal System must be used with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a spinal implant, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a vertebral body replacement system used to treat damaged or unstable vertebrae due to tumor or trauma, aiming to restore stability and function.

No

The device is described as a vertebral body replacement device and an implant, used to replace damaged or unstable vertebral bodies. Its function is treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components made of titanium alloy, such as cylinders, endplates, and set screws. It is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, the VERTE-SPAN™ Spinal System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a vertebral body replacement device for use in the thoracolumbar spine due to tumor or trauma. This is a surgical implant used directly within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the implant (titanium cylinders, endplates, set screws) and its material. This is consistent with a medical device intended for implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The VERTE-SPAN™ Spinal System is a therapeutic device implanted inside the body to provide structural support.

§ 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.
