Intended Use
PATRIOT® TransContinental™ Spacers are interbody fusion devices intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with deqeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The PATRIOT® TransContinental® Spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation, such as the PROTEX® or REVERE® Stabilization System.
Device Description
The PATRIOT® TransContinental® Spacers are lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The spacers are inserted using an anterior or lateral approach to the lumbar spine. The devices are available in various heights and geometric options to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. These spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. Protrusions on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to resist expulsion. PATRIOT® Spacers are made from radiolucent polymer, with titanium alloy or tantalum markers, as specified in F2026, F136, F1295, and F560.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive implantable device (interbody fusion spacer) made of polymer and metal markers. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an interbody fusion device that provides structural stability and is to be filled with bone graft material; it does not explicitly state it provides therapeutic effects like pain relief or healing.

No

This device is an interbody fusion device intended for surgical implantation to provide structural stability, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states that the PATRIOT® TransContinental™ Spacers are physical implants made from radiolucent polymer with titanium alloy or tantalum markers, intended for surgical implantation. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The PATRIOT® TransContinental™ Spacers are implantable medical devices used in surgical procedures to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion in the spine. They are not used to analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical intervention for degenerative disc disease, not a diagnostic test.

The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and surgical application of the spacers within the body, which is characteristic of a non-IVD medical device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

PATRIOT® TransContinental® Spacers are interbody fusion devices intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).

§ 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 Dr. Baker:

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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
