Intended Use
The VERTE-STACK™ 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-STACK™ Spinal System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Specifically, the VERTE-STACK™ device is to be used with the Medtronic Sofamor Danek ZPLATE II Anterior Fixation System, the DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, the TSRH® Spinal System, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, the GDLH® Spinal System and/or their successors. Additionally, the VERTE-STACK™ device is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The VERTE-STACK™ device is a stackable spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior thoracic and lumbar spine. The device is intended for vertebral body replacement to aid in the surgical correction and stabilization of the spine. The construct is not intended to be employed as a stand-alone device. The VERTE-STACK™ device is fabricated and manufactured from POLYETHERETHERKETONE (PEEK OPTIMA LT) along with a tantalum marker. Alternatively the device may be manufactured from titanium alloy. The design of the VERTE-STACK™ device includes a variety of stackable components of different sizes and heights. The stackable components are designed to suit the individual patient pathology. The VERTE-STACK™ device may be used individually, or two or more may be stacked together in order to accommodate the individual anatomical requirements of the vertebral space created by the corpectomy. The VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System must be used with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability. VERTE-STACK™ constructs manufactured with PEEK may be used with stainless steel or titanium supplemental fixation devices. Titanium VERTF-STACK™ constructs may not be used with stainless steel supplemental fixation devices. The purpose of this submission is to include additional components to the previously cleared VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device (vertebral body replacement) made of PEEK or titanium. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The description focuses on the material, design, and intended use of the physical implant.

Yes

The device replaces a vertebral body due to tumor or trauma, which directly addresses a medical condition and restores function, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a vertebral body replacement device and a stackable spacer, intended for surgical correction and stabilization of the spine, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, stackable spacer fabricated from PEEK or titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation. It 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 a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body in the spine due to tumor or trauma. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and stabilization.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a stackable spacer made of PEEK or titanium, designed to be inserted between vertebral bodies. This is a physical implant.
  • 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 biological samples. This device is clearly an in vivo 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.
