Intended Use
The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is designed for use with autograft to facilitate fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is a contoured device constructed of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) medical grade, for spinal applications, inserted into the intervertebral body space of the lumbosacral spine for intervertebral body fusion.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive implant made of PEEK for spinal fusion and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

No.
The device is an intervertebral body spacer used in fusion procedures to facilitate bone fusion, not to directly treat or alleviate symptoms in a therapeutic manner.

No

The device is an ALIF spacer intended for intervertebral body fusion, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly states it is a contoured device constructed of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate bone fusion. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for spinal fusion, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Device Description:

The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is a contoured device constructed of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) medical grade, for spinal applications, inserted into the intervertebral body space of the lumbosacral spine for intervertebral body fusion.

Indications for Use:

The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.

The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is designed for use with autograft to facilitate fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

Summary of Technologies:

The technological characteristics (material, design and sizing) of the PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer are the same as, or similar to, the predicate devices.

Substantial Equivalence:

The PEEK-OPTIMA® ALIF Spacer is substantially equivalent to its predicates for intervertebral body fusion in regards to intended use, design, materials, and operational principles. Examples of other predicate intervertebral body fusion devices distributed for the similar indications include the Stryker Spine AVS PL-PEEK Spacers (K073470 and K080758) and Synthes' SynFix™-LR (K072253) while the Interpore Cross Expandable PEEK VBR Implant (K040928) has similar design features. Based upon the mechanical testing, the PEEK ALIF is substantially equivalent for its intended use to other spacers currently on the market.

Dear Ms. Kelly:

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.
