Intended Use
The Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement 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 tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement is intended for use with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems. The Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement may be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement System is designed to be used as a replacement for a single diseased or damaged vertebral body and the adjacent disc when spinal surgery through an anterior approach is indicated. The Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System is comprised wholly of Trabecular Metal Porous Tantalum. The VBR is available to accommodate replacement of a vertebral body in the thoracic and lumbar region of the spine. The device is available in a variety of cross sections and heights to properly tension the spine. The superior and inferior surfaces of the device have a pattern of ripples to provide increased stability.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for vertebral body replacement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a vertebral body replacement system, which directly treats a damaged or unstable vertebral body by replacing it due to tumor or trauma. This direct intervention for a medical condition qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is a vertebral body replacement system, which is a surgical implant designed to replace a damaged or diseased vertebral body. Its intended use is therapeutic (replacement) rather than diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a disease or condition).

No

The device description explicitly states the device is comprised wholly of Trabecular Metal Porous Tantalum and is available in various physical dimensions, 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 Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a physical implantable device (a vertebral body replacement) intended to be surgically placed in the spine to replace a damaged vertebral body. It is a structural device used for mechanical support and stabilization.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is entirely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Trabecular Metal Vertebral Body Replacement System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
