Intended Use
The CONCORDE. CONCORDE Bullet, CONCORDE Curve, COUGAR, DEVEX, and LEOPARD Systems are indicated for use as intervertebral body fusion devices in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Patients should have six months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via either a PLIF (CONCORDE, CONCORDE Bullet). TLIF (CONCORDE, CONCORDE Bullet, CONCORDE Curve, DEVEX, LEOPARD) or anterior (COUGAR) approach using autogenous bone. When used as interbody fusion devices these implants are intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation products. The CONCORDE. CONCORDE: Bullet, CONCORDE Curve, COUGAR, DEVEX, and LEOPARD Systems are indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., TI-LS) to replace 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. These systems are also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. These systems are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior. middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. When used as a vertebral body replacement device these systems are intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation products.
Device Description
The CONCORDE Bullet Spinal System contains cages featuring a bulleted nose to aid in insertion into the vertebral body. The CONCORDE Bullet Spinal System proposed additional cages are offered in carbon fiber reinforced polymer material. They are available in various geometries and sizes to accommodate patient anatomy.

No
The document describes a spinal implant system and its intended use, focusing on materials, geometries, and mechanical performance testing. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device and vertebral body replacement device, which are used to treat medical conditions (degenerative disc disease, tumors, fractures) and restore function (spinal stability, height of collapsed vertebral body), indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is an intervertebral body fusion device and a vertebral body replacement device, used for structural support and to facilitate fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Spinal System" containing "cages" made of "carbon fiber reinforced polymer material," which are physical implants. The performance studies also describe testing of these physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an implantable surgical device used for spinal fusion and vertebral body replacement. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of the implants (cages, carbon fiber reinforced polymer).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical tests (compression, torsion) relevant to the structural integrity of an implant, not diagnostic accuracy metrics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.

The design, materials, and technology remain identical to the predicate systems.

હ. Materials

Manufactured from carbon-fiber reinforced polymer with tantalum wires.

H. Performance Data

Performance data per ASTM F 2077 were submitted to characterize the subject CONCORDE Bullet Spinal System components addressed in this notification. Specifically, static and dynamic compression testing as well as static and dynamic torsion testing were performed.

l. Conclusion

Both the Performance Testing and Substantial Equivalence Justification demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device
