The device is intended for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition. Its purpose is to directly improve the health of the patient by promoting fusion and alleviating symptoms.
No
The device is a PLIF Cage, which is an intervertebral body fusion device used to treat degenerative disc disease. It is an implantable medical device, not a diagnostic tool. Its function is to facilitate spinal fusion, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK with titanium markers, intended for surgical insertion. It is a hardware device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of potential donors and recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- PLIF Cage Function: The PLIF Cage is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a structural device, not a device used to analyze biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis by promoting intervertebral body fusion. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description details the material, shape, size, and physical properties of the implant. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components related to analyzing biological samples.
The information provided describes a surgical implant, which falls under a different category of medical devices than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Description of device design requirements
The PLIF Cage design must maintain the spacing between two vertebral bones following discectomy until fusion occurs.
ldentification of the risk analysis method
Risks were qualitatively summarized and addressed by quantitatively analyzing specific in-vivo device performance requirements. The biomechanical loads that the device is expected to be subjected to were described and used as design input criteria. Test results relative to those loading conditions (e.g. design outout data) were compared to the design input criteria. The device output data showed performance meeting or exceeding the design input requirements for all conditions. ·
Discussion of the device characteristics
The PLIF Cage is an intervertebral body fusion orthosis intended to be used in lumbar spinal fusion surgery. It provides mechanical support to the spine and protects the bone graft from excessive loads so that bone healing can occur.
Description of the performance aspects
The PLIF Cage was tested by the methods described in ASTM F2077, including static axial compression, dynamic axial compression, static shear, and dynamic shear. Testing per ASTM F2267 to quantify the potential for device subsidence was also conducted. The resistance to expulsion was evaluated by performing expulsion testing aqainst grade 15 polyurethane foam with 500 N axial preload.
