The summary describes a physical implant (PEEK cage) and its mechanical testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an intervertebral body fusion cage intended to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, directly treating a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The provided text describes the pezo™ device as an intervertebral body fusion cage intended for surgical implantation to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is therapeutic (fusion), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a medical condition).
No
The device description clearly states that the device is comprised of "three principal interbody fusion cages" made of PEEK, which are physical implants.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to treat a structural issue.
- Device Description: The device is described as a PEEK Cage Family designed to be implanted into the spine. This is a physical implant, not a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
- No mention of in vitro testing: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or any diagnostic testing performed outside the body.
- Focus on mechanical performance: The performance studies described are mechanical tests (static dynamic compression, subsidence) relevant to the structural integrity and function of an implant, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a therapeutic implant used to facilitate fusion within the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
pezo™ is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is intended for use with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion.

Device Description
The pezo™ PEEK Cage Family is comprised of three principal interbody fusion cages. The pezo-P and pezo-T devices have a basic rectangular shape while the pezo-A devices have a basic kidney shape. All implants have a hollow center for placement of autograft. The pezo implants are available in an assortment of height, length, width and anteroposterior angulation combinations to accommodate a variety of anatomic requirements.

Summary of Performance Studies
Mechanical testing of the worst case pezo™ device included static dynamic compression according to ASTM and F2077 and subsidence according to ASTM F2267.
The mechanical test results demonstrate that pezo™ performs as well as or better than the predicate devices and therefore that the device is as safe and as effective as the predicates.

§ 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.
