The summary describes a physical interbody fusion device made of PEEK with titanium markers. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device's function is purely mechanical support and space creation for bone graft.
Yes.
The device is intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition. It is designed to alleviate pain and provide support to the spine, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is an interbody fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures, providing structural support rather than diagnosing conditions.
No
The device is a physical implant made of PEEK and titanium, intended for surgical implantation. It is not software.
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.
- PATHWAY Device Function: The PATHWAY Interbody Fusion Device is a physical implant made of PEEK and titanium markers. Its purpose is to provide structural support and facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. It is surgically implanted into the body.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device itself does not analyze any biological specimens. While radiographic studies are used to diagnose the condition and assess the outcome, the device itself is not involved in this diagnostic process.
The PATHWAY device is a medical device intended for surgical implantation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PATHWAY Interbody Fusion Device(s) is intended for spinal fusion procedure at one of two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative Disc Diseases (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthcsis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s).
The PATHWAY Interbody Fusion device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for lumbosacral spine (i.e. posterior pedicle screws and rod systems , anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems. The device(s) is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft.
Patients must have undergone a regiment of at least (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the PATHWAY Device.
The PATHWAY device can be used in one of two methods:
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Used as a TLIF, a single device is implanted in the appropriate location to provide support for a transforaminal approached surgery
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
Used as a PLIF, multiple devices are implanted in the appropriate locations to provide support to the spine for a posterior surgery.

Device Description
The PATHWAY Interbody Fusion Device is made from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK OPTIMA TM) and contain titanium markers. The titanium markers serve a means for the end user of the device to determine the location of the implant intra-operatively and post- operatively.
The device(s) is rectangular in nature and have various widths, lengths, heights and degrees of lordosis (0 Degree and 6 Degree). The devices contain empty space for the practitioner to insert autogenous bone graft. The devices have serrated teeth on the superior and inferior sides to provide anchorage stability to the vertebrae. They are single use devices.
The 0 Degree PLIF has a width of 10 mm, a length of 23 mm, and ranges in height from 7 to 15 mm.
The 6 Degree PLIF is lordotic in nature and has a width of 8 mm, a length of 23 mm, and ranges in height from 7 to 15 mm
The TLIF is a rectangular in nature and has a width of 10 mm, a length of 28 mm, and ranges in height from 7 to 15 mm.
The implants are provided non-sterile and the instruments are provided cleaned, decontaminated and non-sterile. These devices must be sterilized by the user facility.

§ 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 Mr. Attiyah:
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. 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.
