No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive, physical implant made of PEEK material. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural.
Yes
The device is implanted to treat tumors and fractures, achieve anterior decompression, and restore vertebral body height, all of which address a disease or injury.
No
The device is an implant for replacing vertebral bodies, used to treat tumors and fractures, and restore spinal height, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components fabricated from PEEK and titanium, which are hardware materials.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Blackstone Medical PEEK Vertebral Body Replacement System is a surgical implant designed to replace a diseased or fractured vertebral body in the spine. It is a physical device implanted into the body to provide structural support and restore height.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not perform any tests on biological samples to diagnose a condition or provide diagnostic information. Its function is purely structural and therapeutic.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or prosthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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 diseased 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 comprised of a variety of components fabricated and manufactured from Polyetheretherketone (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.
The Lordotic Lateral Spacers restore the natural curvature of the spine.

§ 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.
