Intended Use
The PATRIOT® TransContinental™ M 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). The PATRIOT® TransContinental™ M Spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The PATRIOT® TransContinental® M Spacers are lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectorny. The spacers are inserted using an anterior or lateral approach to the lumbar spine. The PATRIOT® TransContinental® M implants 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® TransContinental™ M Spacers are made from PEEK radiolucent polymer, with an integrated titanium alloy nut and titanium alloy or tantalum markers, as specified in F2026, F136, F1295, and F560.

No
The summary describes a passive interbody fusion device made of PEEK and titanium, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not algorithmic performance evaluations.

Yes.
The device is an interbody fusion device used to treat degenerative disc disease and provide structural stability in the lumbosacral spine, which makes it a therapeutic device.

No.
The device is an interbody fusion device intended for surgical implantation to provide structural stability in the spine, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is made from PEEK polymer with integrated titanium and tantalum components, indicating it is a physical implant, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The PATRIOT® TransContinental™ M Spacers are physical implants designed to be surgically inserted into the spine to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion. They do not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease by providing structural stability and promoting fusion, not by analyzing biological markers.

The provided information describes a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for a surgical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 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.
