Intended Use
The Talos™ IBF Device is an intervertebral body device intended for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Talos™ IBF devices are intended to be used with autologous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The Talos™ IBF device is to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. Talos™ IBF devices are to be implanted via a direct posterior, transforaminal, lateral or anterior approach. The Talos™-P device is implanted in pairs, while the Talos™-A, Talos™-L and Talos™-T devices may be implanted singly or in pairs in the lumbosacral spine. The Talos™-A, Talos™-L, Talos™-P, and Talos™-T are intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The Talos™ IBF Device is made of PEEK-OPTIMA®. Talos™ IBF Device is available in four The configurations: Talos™-P, Talos™-T, Talos™-L, and Talos™-A. The devices are open devices with ridged teeth on superior and inferior ends to resist implant pullout. The Talos™-P and Talos™-L are rectangular devices and the Talos™-T and Talos™-A have curved lateral walls and rounded edges. The implants are available in a range of sizes, as well as flat and lordotic angled implants, to accommodate variations in patient's anatomy. In addition, tantalum markers at the opposite ends are offered which allow the Talos™ IBF radiological confirmation for proper positioning.

No
The provided text describes a physical intervertebral body fusion device made of PEEK-OPTIMA®. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device relies on mechanical properties and radiographic markers for positioning, not intelligent analysis.

Yes
The device is used to facilitate fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is an intervertebral body device used for fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made of PEEK-OPTIMA® and describes physical configurations and features (ridged teeth, tantalum markers), indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided text, the Talos™ IBF Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The Talos™ IBF Device is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine. It does not analyze or test biological samples.
  • The intended use is for surgical implantation to facilitate spinal fusion. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • The device description details the physical characteristics of an implant. It describes the material, configurations, sizes, and features for surgical placement and radiological confirmation.

The mention of "radiographic studies" in the intended use refers to the diagnostic imaging used to confirm the patient's condition (Degenerative Disc Disease) before the device is implanted, not a function of the device itself.

§ 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. 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.
