Intended Use
The Synthes Zero-P is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with accompanying radicular symptoms at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. The interior of the spacer component of the Synthes Zero-P should be packed with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an anterior approach.
Device Description
The purpose of this submission is to introduce an additional, larger footprint Zero-P spacer, as well as minor modifications to approved labeling. The Synthes Zero-P is a radiolucent and radiopaque cervical intervertebral body fusion device. The Zero-P spacer is composed of PEEK Optima (ASTM F2026-02) with a radiopaque marker (ASTM F136-2a), and a titanium alloy anterior plate and screws (ASTM F F1295-01). The screws are inserted through the plate into the adjacent vertebral bodies and lock securely to the plate using a tapered-thread locking mechanism. The Synthes Zero-P is available as assembled components in various heights and geometries to suit individual pathology and anatomical conditions.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical interbody fusion device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion device for treating degenerative disc disease, which involves addressing a medical condition and restoring anatomical function.

No
The device is described as an interbody fusion device, indicated for treating degenerative disc disease by fusing vertebrae, not for diagnosing conditions. While it is used in patients diagnosed via "radiographic studies," the device itself does not perform diagnostics.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implantable device made of PEEK, titanium alloy, and includes screws and a plate. It is not software.

Based on the provided information, the Synthes Zero-P 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.
  • Synthes Zero-P Function: The Synthes Zero-P is a physical implantable device (an interbody fusion device) used in surgery to stabilize the cervical spine. It is not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease by fusing vertebrae.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and components of a physical implant, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.

Therefore, the Synthes Zero-P falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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. Bonnell:

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.
