More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive, physical implant (Spinal Spheres) made of PEEK. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the presence of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as "designed solely for holding bone parts in alignment while they heal" and to "promote intervertebral body fusion," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an internal fixation device intended for stabilization and to promote intervertebral body fusion by holding bone parts in alignment while they heal, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK Optima, intended for insertion between vertebral bodies. This is a hardware device, not software.

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 "intended to be inserted between vertebral bodies into the disc space... to help provide stabilization and to help promote intervertebral body fusion." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and healing.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating they are "implants" inserted "between the vertebral bodies."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is a surgical implant used in vivo.

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 and Safety 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.

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 vour 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.
