The summary describes a physical implant made of PEEK with titanium markers and a specific surface pattern. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used to treat diseased or fractured vertebral bodies, replace resected bone, and restore spinal height, which are all therapeutic actions.
No
The device is a vertebral body replacement system, an implant used in surgery, not a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components fabricated from PEEK material with titanium markers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
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 a diseased vertebral body, treat tumors and fractures, achieve decompression, and restore height in the spine. This is a surgical implant used directly in the body for structural support and treatment.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of PEEK material with titanium markers. It is designed to be surgically placed within the spine.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on biological samples.
The device described is a surgical implant, specifically a vertebral body replacement system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Blackstone Medical PEEK Vertebral Body Replacement System is indicated for use in the thoraco-lumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a deseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The PEEK VBR System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. It is recommended that bone graft material be packed inside the system prior to implantation. The PEEK VBR System is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation. Specifically, the supplemental internal fixation system that may be used with the PEEK VBR System is the Blackstone Medical Spinal Fixation System.

Device Description
Blackstone Medical, Inc. PEEK Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System is of a variety of components fabricated and manufactured from comprised Polyctheretherketone (PEEK Optima LT) as described by ASTM F-2026. This material is utilized due to its radiolucent properties, which aid the surgeon in determining if fusion in the operative site has occurred. Titanium markers are inserted into components to give surgeons a visual aid in determining the location of the implant both inter and postoperatively. The superior and inferior surfaces of the construct have a pattern of ripples to provide increased stability and help prevent lateral movement of the 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)
