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 tumor 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, the DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, the TSRH® Spinal System, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, the GDLH® Spinal System and/or their successors. Additionally, the VERTE-STACK® device is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The VERTE-STACK® device consists of hemi-cylindrical center cages of various lengths and diameters, as well as hemi-cylindrical add on cages of various lengths, diameters and angulation. The assembled VERTE-STACK® device consists of three components (one hollow center cage, and two hollow add-on cages). The VERTE-STACK® components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. 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 implant components are made of medical grade PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 along with a marker made from either Tantalum or titanium. Alternatively, VERTE-STACK® Spinal System may be manufactured from titanium alloy. The VERTE-STACK® Spinal System must be used with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability. VERTE-STACK® constructs manufactured from 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 was to modify the geometry of the implants and to include additional sizes into the existing VERTE-STACK® Spinal System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of a spinal implant, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a vertebral body replacement device intended to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma via surgery, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a vertebral body replacement device, intended for surgical implantation to replace a damaged or unstable vertebral body, rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK or titanium, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • VERTE-STACK® Function: The VERTE-STACK® Spinal System is a physical implant designed to replace a damaged vertebral body in the spine. It is surgically implanted into the patient's body.

The description clearly indicates that the VERTE-STACK® is a surgical implant used for structural support and replacement within the spine, not a device used for testing biological samples outside of the body.

§ 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.
