Intended Use
The Spinal Spheres are intended to be inserted between vertebral bodies into the disc space from L3 to S1 to help provide stabilization and to help promote intervertebral body fusion. This internal fixation device is intended for, and designed solely for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal. The Spinal Spheres are intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Description
The Spinal Spheres consist of CoCtMo spheres which may be implanted from L3 to S1 to 16 morary stabilization in order to promote fusion. These spheres are available in Ø10-Ø16mm diameters.

No
The summary describes a physical implant (spinal spheres) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as an internal fixation device intended for stabilization and to promote intervertebral body fusion, specifically for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal, rather than providing therapy. It promotes a healing process but doesn't actively treat a condition.

No
The provided text states that the device is an internal fixation device intended for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal and to promote intervertebral body fusion, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states the device consists of "CoCtMo spheres" which are physical implants.

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 the Spinal Spheres are an internal fixation device designed to be inserted between vertebral bodies to provide stabilization and promote fusion. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a physical implant made of CoCtMo spheres.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the Spinal Spheres are a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.

A final rule classifying spinal spheres for use in intervertebral fusion procedures, a preamendments, unclassified device type, into class III (premarket approval), was published on March 30, 2023. See here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/30/2023-06566/medical-devices-orthopedic-devices-classification-of-spinalspheres-for-use-in-intervertebral-fusion. Concurrently, FDA published a final order to require the filing of a premarket approval application (PMA) for spinal spheres for use in intervertebral fusion procedures. See here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/30/2023-06565/effective-date-of-requirement-for-premarket-approvalapplications-for-spinal-spheres-for-use-in.

Please refer to the aforementioned final rule and final order for current regulatory requirements for this device type.

Dear Mr. Webb:

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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. 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.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must be prominently displayed in all labeling, including pouch box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print:

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in motion sparing, non-fusion procedures has not been established.

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

Page 2 - Mr. J.D. Webb

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

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA). it may be subject to 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 may 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.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-276-0120.
