Intended Use
Fortitude Vue is a vertebral body replacement device that is intended for use in the thoracic and/or thoracolumbar spine (T3 - L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial or total vertebrectomy procedures) due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). Fortitude Vue 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. Fortitude Vue is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
Fortitude Vue is a hollow device intended for use as a spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as "a vertebral body replacement device" used to restore biomechanical integrity due to tumor or trauma, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description indicates that Fortitude Vue is a vertebral body replacement device, which is a therapeutic implant and not used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hollow device intended for use as a spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Fortitude Vue is a vertebral body replacement device used in surgical procedures to replace damaged or unstable vertebral bodies. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a hollow device intended for use as a spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis. This aligns with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. Fortitude Vue is a physical implant used to restore structural integrity in 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.
