Intended Use
The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant 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.
Device Description
The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is an expandable device constructed of Polyetheretherketone, medical grade (PEEK OPTIMA™ LTI) as described by ASTM F-2026. The tantalum markers used for this product are made to the voluntary standard ASTM F-560. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is inserted between vertebral bodies in the posterior thoracolumbar spine from T1 to LS. Following insertion into the surgical site, the implant may be left undistracted or may be expanded via a ratcheting mechanism. When expanded, a reinforcement clip is inserted into the implant to aid in maintaining height. The radiolucent PEEK material allows visualization of the defect site on radiograph to assess bone growth.

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

Yes
The device is indicated for replacing a diseased vertebral body, treating tumors, achieving anterior decompression, restoring height, and treating fractures, all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is an implant designed to replace diseased or fractured vertebral bodies and restore spinal height and biomechanical integrity. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is an implant constructed of physical materials (PEEK and tantalum) and is surgically inserted. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is a physical implant designed to be surgically inserted into the thoracolumbar spine. It is a medical device used for structural support and restoration of height, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or fractured vertebral body, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

PREDICATE DEVICE

Predicate device information is included in this premarket notification.

INDICATIONS-FOR-USE

The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of turnors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant 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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is an expandable device constructed of Polyetheretherketone, medical grade (PEEK OPTIMA™ LTI) as described by ASTM F-2026. The tantalum markers used for this product are made to the voluntary standard ASTM F-560. The Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is inserted between vertebral bodies in the posterior thoracolumbar spine from T1 to LS. Following insertion into the surgical site, the implant may be left undistracted or may be expanded via a ratcheting mechanism. When expanded, a reinforcement clip is inserted into the implant to aid in maintaining height. The radiolucent PEEK material allows visualization of the defect site on radiograph to assess bone growth.

COMPARISON TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE

Based on the same indications for use, intended use, similarity in materials of construction and equivalent biomechanical performance, the Expandable PEEK VBR Implant is considered substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
