Intended Use
The Stryker Spine AVS® PL PEEK Spacers are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. The AVS® PL PEEK Spacers are to be implanted via posterior approach. The AVS® PL PEEK Spacers are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems).
Device Description
The subject AVS PL PEEK Spacers and the predicates AVS PL PEEK Spacers and DePuy's Lumbar I/F Cage (i.e., Brantigan Cage) share similar design features: - Hollow frame PEEK Implant - Lateral fenestrations - Serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces - Comparable heights, widths, and angles - Materials and mechanical testing results are similar between the subject device and the listed predicates.
More Information

P960025

No
The document describes a physical implant (PEEK spacer) and its intended use and mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "intervertebral body fusion device" used to treat "degenerative disc disease (DDD)", which aims to alleviate back pain and degeneration of the disc, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Hollow frame PEEK Implant" and mentions "Materials and mechanical testing results," indicating it is a physical implantable device made of PEEK material, not software.

No, 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 Description: The Stryker Spine AVS® PL PEEK Spacers are physical implants designed to be surgically placed between vertebrae in the spine. They are used to facilitate bone fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "intervertebral body fusion" in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The provided information describes a medical device used for treatment (fusion), not for diagnosing a condition using a sample outside the body.

§ 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. Lane:

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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
