The summary describes a mechanical implant for spinal stabilization and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is a vertebral body replacement device intended to improve stability of the spine by replacing a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma, which directly addresses a health condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "vertebral body replacement device" intended to be implanted to improve spine stability after trauma or due to tumor. It is a treatment device, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system components are manufactured from titanium alloy or PEEK material, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.
No, 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 NOVEL™ VBR Spinal System is a physical implant designed to replace a vertebral body in the spine. It is surgically implanted into the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide structural support and stability to the spine after the removal of a damaged vertebral body. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The information provided clearly describes a surgically implanted medical device, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NOVEL™ VBR Spinal System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The Novel™ VBR System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems. Specifically, the Novel™ VBR System is to be used with the Alphatec Zodiac™ Polyaxial Pedicle Screw System or the Alphatec Mirage™ Top Tightening Spinal System. Furthermore, the Novel™ VBR System is intended for use with bone graft.

Device Description
The NOVEL™ VBR Spinal System is a vertebral body replacement device that is implanted into the vertebral body space to improve stability of the spine. System components are offered in various shapes and sizes to meet individual patient anatomy. System components are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F-136) or polyetheretherkeytone (PEEK) material (ASTM F 2026 and ISO 10993). A radiographic marker fabricated from titanium alloy (ASTM F-136) or tantalum (ASTM F-560) allows for easy radiographic identification.

§ 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.
