Intended Use
IMPIX-C Cervical Interbody Device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine at one disc level from C3-C7. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. This device is to be used with autogenous bone graft. IMPIX-C Cervical Interbody Device is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. IMPIX-L Lumbar Interbody Device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). This device is to be used with autogenous bone graft. IMPIX-L Lumbar Interbody Device is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The IMPIX Cervical Interbody devices consist of implants with a convexity on the upper surface with anti-migration upper ridging and lower pins. The IMPIX Cervical Interbody device has a D-forro with two openings that allow the surgeon to fill it with bone graft. In order to adapt to the warying morphology of patients, both IMPIX Cervical Interbody devices are available in various sizes. The IMPIX Cervical Interbody device is machined from PEEK OPTIMA LT1. The IMPIX Lumbar Interbody device is bi-convex in the sagittal plane. It possesses teeth on both superior and inferior surfaces that assist in the anchorage and stability of the device to the bone of the vertebrae. The upper and lower aspects of the MPIX-L are open, to allow the surgently pack the device with bone graft prior to insertion. Lateral holes exist to allow bone growth through the device. In order to adapt to the varying morphology of patients, the IMPIX Lumbar Interbody devices are available in various sizes. The IMPIX Lumbar Interbody device is machined from PEEK OPTIMA LT1.

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical characteristics and function of an interbody fusion device made of PEEK material, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, which involves treating a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is an intervertebral body fusion device (IMPIX-C Cervical Interbody Device and IMPIX-L Lumbar Interbody Device) used for treatment by fusing vertebrae, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes physical implants made of PEEK OPTIMA LT1, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the IMPIX devices are implants designed for surgical insertion into the spine to facilitate intervertebral body fusion. They are physical devices used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, the IMPIX Cervical and Lumbar Interbody Devices are surgical implants, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.

(a)
Identification. An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear J.D. 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) 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.
