Intended Use
The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft to facilitate interbody fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is used for patients diagnosed with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. 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 six months of non-operative treatment. These implants may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach.
Device Description
The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System consists of a variety of hollow vertebral body spacers featuring a convex, bullet-nosed interbody device designed with an axial void to contain autogenous graft material, and facilitate a fusion between two vertebral bodies. This device is designed with angular teeth to allow the implant to grip the superior and inferior end plates, thus allowing expulsion resistance. The device is manufactured from medical grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Optima 1 and includes Tantalum markers for imaging purposes and provided sterile by gamma irradiation. The predicate device is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 8mm to 16mm in height and 40mm to 60mm in length. The purpose of this submission is to add a new Direct Lateral (DL) Inserter instrument to be used with the CL YDESDALE® Spinal System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a spinal implant and an inserter instrument, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to facilitate interbody fusion for patients with degenerative disc disease, which constitutes a therapeutic intervention.

No

The CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is a surgical implant designed for interbody fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It facilitates fusion between vertebral bodies after a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease has already been made.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is manufactured from PEEK and includes Tantalum markers, indicating it is a physical implant and not software only.

Based on the provided text, the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to be implanted in the body to facilitate interbody fusion in the lumbar spine. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK with Tantalum markers, designed to be placed between vertebrae. This is consistent with a surgical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A new Direct Lateral (DL) Inserter instrument was added to the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System and reprocessing instructions for the new instrument were added to the labeling. The subject and predicate CLYDESDALE® Spinal System devices are identical in terms of indications for use, intended use, performance specifications, and technological characteristics. Assessment of the dimensional modifications has been completed in accordance with internal Medtronic processes. Cleaning and sterilization assessments have been conducted to provide the appropriate disassembly, cleaning, and sterilization instructions for the CLYDESDALE® Spinal System. Medtronic believes the information above demonstrates equivalence and supports a determination of substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate CLYDESDALE® Spinal System devices.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Bassett:

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.
