Intended Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Construx Mini PEEK System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one level in the cervical spine (C2-T1), in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The Construx Mini PEEK System is intended for use with autograft and supplemental internal fixation, e.g.: the Blackstone Medical Ascent™ or Ascent LETM POCT System. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) weeks of non-operative r attention masterial with the Construx Mini PEEK System in the cervical spine. The Construx Mini PEEK device is used singly and is implanted using an anterior approach. When used as a Partial Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System, the Construx Mini When used as i Parliated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised replacement of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and for the treatment of tumors, to active an arrest aponed vertebral body. The Construx Mini neural issues, and to restore the freigen in a fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Construx Mini PEEK System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the The Collistian Minn I EEIN Bysterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged amenor, inidate, and posterier epinal se is intended to be used with autograft or allograft. The Construx Mini PEEK System is intended for use with internal fixation. The The Collstux Internal fixation system that may be used with the Construx Mini PEEK System is the Blackstone Medical Spinal Fixation System (SFS) or the Firebird Spinal Fixation System.
Device Description
The Construx Mini PEEK Spacer System components consist of: 1) A PEEK Spacer 2) cp Titanium Markers The Construx Mini Spacer System is a Cervical IBFD device that is implanted using anterior surgical approach with the intention is to achieve intervertebral spinal fusion. In addition, the Construx Mini is intended to contain autologous bone graft to facilitate intervertebral fusion.

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a spinal implant) and its intended use and testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for treating degenerative disc disease, restoring biomechanical integrity of the spinal column, decompressing the spinal cord, treating tumors, and restoring spinal alignment, all of which are medical conditions or functions.

No

The device is a medical implant (fusion device, partial vertebral body replacement) used in spinal fusion procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the components are a PEEK Spacer and cp Titanium Markers, which are physical hardware components. The intended use also describes a surgical implant.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion and vertebral body replacement. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device components are a PEEK Spacer and titanium markers, which are physical implants.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the mechanical properties and stability of the implant (compression, torsion, subsidence), not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body. This device is implanted in vivo (inside the body) for structural support and fusion.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

The Construx Mini PEEK System is intended for use with autograft and supplemental internal fixation, e.g .; the Blackstone Medical Ascent™ or Ascent LE™ POCT System.

Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the Construx Mini PEEK System in the cervical spine.

The Construx Mini PEEK device is used singly and is implanted using an anterior approach.

When used as a Partial Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System, the Construx Mini PEEK System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (TI-LS) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Construx Mini PEEK System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine.

The Construx Mini PEEK System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period of time. The Partial VBR device is intended to be used with autograft or allograft.

The Construx Mini PEEK System is intended for use with internal fixation. The supplemental internal fixation system that may be used with the Construx Mini PEEK System is the Blackstone Medical Spinal Fixation System (SFS) or the Firebird Spinal Fixation System.
