Intended Use
Ellys and Aurys Vertebral Body Replacements are vertebral body replacements for use in the lumbar and thoracic spine (T1-L5) to replace a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.c. fracture). These are not stand-alone devices, ISOBAR Ø6.2 Hemispherical Screws with Offset Clamps and Ø5.5 Rods must be utilized to enhance the stability of the reconstruction in skeletally mature patients following full or partial corpectomy.
Device Description
The Ellys components are kidney shaped and are used in pairs for full corpectomy or individually when only a portion of the vertebral body is resected. The interior of the space for home graft. The implant is always implanted in the vertical position. These components are available in various heights (8mm-150mm) to accommodate the variability of patient size, anatomic variation, and the size of the vertebral body defect. The superior and inferior surfaces of these components have ridges to interface with the vertebral endplates to resist rotation and migration. The body has a multitude of holes to allow additional impaction of bone graft. The Aurys components are trapezoidal in cross sccion and are used singly. The interior of these components have three hollow compartments that run the vertically and are provided for the placement of bone grafi. I like the Aurys components are also available in various hcights (9mm-1.50mm) and have angled ends to match the angle of the vertebral endplates. The ends have ridges similar to the Ellys to interface with the vertebral endplates. There are also holes evenly spaced on the medial/lateral surfaces to complete bone graft impaction after insertion. Both the l'llys and Aurys components are fabricated from pure poly(ether cther ketone) (PEIFA). This material closcly matches the modulus of elasticity of cortical bone, improving the biomechanical interface and reducing the stress shickling clicci. They are fully radio-translucent, which enables optimum follow-up with diagnostic imaging, as the interbody fusion progresses. Two metal wires at the opposite ends of the spacers allow radiological confirmation of the cage position post operatively.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the material, shape, and mechanical properties of the vertebral body replacements, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a vertebral body replacement used to treat damaged, collapsed, or unstable vertebrae due to tumor or trauma, which directly addresses a health condition.

No

The device description indicates that Ellys and Aurys Vertebral Body Replacements are implants designed to replace damaged or unstable vertebral bodies. These are treatment devices, not diagnostic ones. Although they are radio-translucent to allow for diagnostic imaging after implantation, the devices themselves do not perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly details physical implants made of PEEK material, designed to replace vertebral bodies. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace damaged, collapsed, or unstable vertebral bodies in the spine due to tumor or trauma. This is a surgical implant used directly in the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics and materials of the vertebral body replacements, which are physical implants.
  • 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

§ 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.
