Intended Use
The SeaSpine VBR System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a collapsed, diseased, damaged or unstable complete or partial vertebral body due to tumor or trauma/fracture, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The SeaSpine VBR System 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. Additionally, the SeaSpine VBR System is intended for use with bone graft.
Device Description
The SeaSpine VBR System straight, curved, round, and trapezoidal VBRs are manufactured out of PEEK OPTIMA® polymer with tantalum wires and/or beads. All VBR configurations will be offered in numerous lengths and sizes. The product is supplied "NON-STERILE" and must be sterilized prior to use. The SeaSpine VBR System will offer a wide variety of instruments that range from paddle scrapers to inserters. These various instruments will be made primarily from stainless steel with handles made from Radel or Pomalux. These items are supplied "NON-STERILE" and must be sterilized prior to use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat a diseased or damaged vertebral body, decompress the spinal cord, and restore spinal height and biomechanical integrity. These actions classify it as a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is a vertebral body replacement system, an implant used in surgery to replace part of the spine, and is not designed for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of PEEK polymer, tantalum, stainless steel, Radel, and Pomalux, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to replace vertebral bodies in the spine. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and components of a surgical implant and associated instruments. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition
    • Using reagents or assays

The SeaSpine VBR System is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, used for structural support and restoration 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.

Dear Ms. Smith:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA mav publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

4

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120.
