The summary describes a physical intervertebral body fusion device made of PEEK and Titanium, along with associated instrumentation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the device itself.
Yes
The device is a medical implant intended to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate spinal fusion, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used as an adjunct to fusion, not for diagnosing a condition. Its purpose is treatment, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states that the device consists of physical components made from PEEK polymer, Titanium alloy, and Tantalum, which are implanted into the body. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, 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 description clearly states that the Theken Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is a physical implant (spacers, bone screws, SpinPlate) used in spinal fusion surgery. Its intended use is to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.
- Lack of mention of biological samples or testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze biological samples or perform any kind of diagnostic test on bodily fluids or tissues.
The device is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) as part of a treatment for a specific medical condition, not a diagnostic tool used in vitro (outside the body).

Intended Use / Indications for Use
When used with the bone screws, the Theken Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one 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 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material.
When used with the SpinPlate, the Theken Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one 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 These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material. When used with the SpinPlate, the Theken Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is intended for use with supplemental fixation such as the Coral Spinal System or the BodyForm Thoracolumbar Fixation System.
The Theken Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, when used with bone screws, is a stand alone device. If the Theken Spine Vu aPod Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is used with the SpinPlate then additional supplemental fixation, which has been cleared by the FIDA for use in the lumbar spine, must be used to augment stability. The SpinPlate and bone screws are not intended to be used together. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the 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.
