The summary describes a physical implant (Vertebral Body Replacement) and its intended use and materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended to treat a pathological condition (collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma) and restore normal function (anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, restore height, and biomechanical integrity of the spinal column).
No
The device is an implantable vertebral body replacement designed to restore spinal integrity, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is an implant composed of PEEK, which is a physical material, not software. It is a vertebral body replacement device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The VertiFlex™ PEEK VBR is an implantable device designed to replace a vertebral body in the spine. It is a physical structure intended to provide mechanical support and restore height.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical implantation to treat conditions affecting the vertebral body due to tumor or trauma. It is not used to analyze biological samples.
The description clearly indicates a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological specimens outside of the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VertiFlex™ PEEK VBR is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) for partial or total replacement of a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture), to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The VertiFlex™ PEEK VBR 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. The interior of the VertiFlex™ PEEK VBR may be packed with bone graft.

Device Description
The VertiFlex™ Octane™ PEEK Vertebral Body Replacement, or PEEK VBR, is an implant composed of pure Poly(Etheretherketone), or PEEK, intended to serve as a partial or total replacement of a vertebral body that is collapsed, damaged, or unstable as a result of tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The implant is available in a range of sizes, and is intended to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural structures, and to restore vertebral height. In so doing, the device is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column. The device is hollow to permit packing with bone graft to facilitate fusion, but is of sufficient strength to provide column support even in the absence of fusion for prolonged periods. The device may be implanted by either conventional surgical methods, or via minimally-invasive techniques, using manual instrumentation provided by VertiFlex™, Inc., specifically for use with the subject device. The device is offered non-sterile.

§ 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 Mr. Reitzler:
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 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.
