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 turnor 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, DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, TSRH® Spinal System, CD HORIZON® Spinal System, the GDLH® Spinal System, 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 POLYETHERETONE (PEEK OPTIMA LT1) along with either titanium or tantalum markers. Alternatively the entire 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 VERTE-STACK® constructs may not be used with stainless steel supplemental fixation devices. The purpose of this submission is to include slightly modified components to the previously cleared VERTE-STACK® Spinal System.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material, design, and intended use of a physical implant for spinal surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a vertebral body replacement device intended to replace collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebrae due to tumor or trauma, aiding in surgical correction and stabilization of the spine. This addresses a medical condition and facilitates a therapeutic outcome.

No
The provided text describes a vertebral body replacement device used for surgical correction and stabilization, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is fabricated from physical materials (PEEK, titanium, tantalum) and is a stackable spacer, 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:

  • 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 VERTE-STACK® Spinal System is a physical implant designed to replace a vertebral body in the spine. It is a surgical device used in vivo (within the body), not a test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for replacing a vertebral body due to tumor or trauma and is used with supplemental fixation. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The description focuses on the material, design, and surgical application of the device, which are characteristic of a medical implant, not an IVD.

§ 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.
