Intended Use
The Plateau Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Description
The Plateau Spacer System is intended to serve as an intervertebral body fusion device. The implant is available in a range of sizes and footprints to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. It is fabricated and manufactured from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA LT1) with tantalum markers. The implant is hollow to permit packing with autogenous bone graft to help promote intervertebral body fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces have teeth to assist in the interface with the vertebral endplates to prevent rotation and/or migration. All implants are intended for single use only and should not be reused under any circumstances. Do not use any of the Plateau Spacer System components with components from any other system or manufacturer. The Plateau Spacer System components should never be reused under any circumstances.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant (intervertebral body fusion device) made of PEEK with tantalum markers. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on substantial equivalence based on size additions, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease and is implanted to promote spinal fusion, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

This device is an intervertebral body fusion device (an implant), not a diagnostic tool. Its purpose is to facilitate spinal fusion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is fabricated from PEEK and includes tantalum markers, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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: The Plateau Spacer System is an implantable device made of PEEK with tantalum markers, intended for spinal fusion procedures. It is surgically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, to be used with bone graft and supplemental fixation. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a physical implant used in a surgical procedure, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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.

Intended Use of the Device: -

The Plateau Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

Material:

The PLATEAU Spacer System implants are manufactured according to ASTM F2026 from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA LT1), which is a biocompatible material manufactured and supplied by Invibio, and either 6-4 Alloy Titanium markers or unalloyed Tantalum markers. PEEK-OPTIMA is a biocompatible radiolucent material, allowing visualization of osteogenesis.

Characteristic Comparison:

The purpose of this submission is to add additional sizes to the offering of the PLATEAU Spacer System. The additional sizes fall within the range of sizes offered in the predicate systems. Additionally they have the same intended use, material, and basic design as the predicate systems.

Performance Data:

Information has been presented to show that the addition of sizes to the system do not impose a new worst case scenario and are therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate devices,

Substantial Equivalence:

The Plateau Spacer System was shown to be substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices in indications for use, design, function, and materials used.

Dear Mr. Lewis:

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.
