Intended Use
The Synthes Zero-P is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with accompanying radicular symptoms at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. The interior of the spacer component of the Synthes Zero-P should be packed with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an anterior approach.
Device Description
The Synthes Zero-P is a radiolucent and radiopaque cervical intervertebral body fusion device. The Zero-P is composed of a PEEK spacer with a radiopaque marker, a titanium alloy anterior plate and screws. The screws are inserted through the plate into the adjacent vertebral bodies. The screws lock securely to the plate using a tapered-thread locking mechanism. The Synthes Zero-P is available as assembled components in various heights and geometries to suit individual pathology and anatomical conditions.

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical interbody fusion device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition. Its function is to facilitate interbody spinal fusion, aiming to alleviate pain and symptoms.

No

This device is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion device, designed to provide stability and support in the spine after disc removal, rather than to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of physical components: a PEEK spacer, a titanium alloy anterior plate, and screws. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Synthes Zero-P is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion. It is used in the body to provide structural support and facilitate bone growth.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK and titanium, designed to be surgically inserted.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings for testing and analysis.

Therefore, the Synthes Zero-P falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an IVD.

§ 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 Ms. Bonnell:

Re:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 11, 2008.

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 (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 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

3

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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
