Intended Use
The FUSE Cage is indicated for intervertebral body spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). FUSE implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open posterior approach. The FUSE Cage is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The FUSE is rectangular in shape and it has a honeycomb structure thru the implant in the superior/inferior direction. There is an oval opening in the M/L direction. There is a roughened surface on the superior and inferior surfaces. There are neutral, 4° and 8° lordosis configurations. The posterior end has a threaded hole for attaching insertion instruments, while the other end is solid and tapered.

The 510(k) summary describes a physical intervertebral cage and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.

No.

The FUSE Cage is an implant used in spinal fusion procedures. It is a structural device that aids in fusion by holding bone graft in place and providing stability, rather than directly treating a condition or restoring function like a therapeutic device would. Its purpose is to facilitate the biological process of bone fusion, not to provide therapy itself.

No
The FUSE Cage is an implant used in spinal fusion procedures. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implant (cage) made of material with a specific shape and structure, intended for surgical implantation. This is a hardware device, 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 and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a physical implant (a spinal fusion cage) intended to be surgically placed within the body to treat degenerative disc disease. It is a medical device used in vivo (within a living organism), not in vitro (in a test tube or laboratory setting).

The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the implant, its surgical placement, and its mechanical properties, all of which are characteristic of a non-IVD medical 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.

    1. Predicate or legally marketed devices which are substantially equivalent: WAVE (K080401)

4. Description of the device:

The FUSE is rectangular in shape and it has a honeycomb structure thru the implant in the superior/inferior direction. There is an oval opening in the M/L direction. There is a roughened surface on the superior and inferior surfaces. There are neutral, 4° and 8° lordosis configurations. The posterior end has a threaded hole for attaching insertion instruments, while the other end is solid and tapered.

Materials:

Commercially pure titanium

Function:

The FUSE Cage was developed as an implant for the posterior stabilization of the lumbar spinal column with the technique of Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF).

Intended Use:

The FUSE Cage is indicated for intervertebral body spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-51. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). FUSE implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open posterior approach. The FUSE Cage is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.

Comparison of the technological characteristics of the device to predicate and legally marketed devices: ഗ്

The AMT FUSE Cage has the same indications and material, and similar designs as previously cleared devices.

6. Summary of Nonclinical Tests

Tests performed according to ASTM F2077/F2267 indicate that the AMT FUSE Cage meets required mechanical strengths.
