Intended Use
The Reliance LUMBAR IBF System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The device systems are designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. One device may be used per intervertebral space. The implants are intended to be used with legally cleared supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. The Reliance LUMBAR IBF System, when used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion device is also intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The lumbar device is to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment.
Device Description
The Reliance Lumbar IBF System is comprised of implant and instrument components. The implant component, the Reliance Lumbar IBF device, is a spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior column of the lumbar spine. The spacer is made of PEEK Optima LT1 with Tantalum markers.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and associated instruments for spinal fusion, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine and treatment of degenerative disc disease, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "spacer" used between vertebral bodies to facilitate fusion, not to diagnose a condition. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of "implant and instrument components," including a PEEK spacer with Tantalum markers. This indicates the presence of physical hardware, not just software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Reliance LUMBAR IBF System is described as a "spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior column of the lumbar spine." This is an implantable surgical device, not a device used for testing samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intervertebral body fusion of the spine," which is a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of biomarkers, or diagnostic purposes.

This device falls under the category of implantable surgical devices used for structural support and fusion in the spine.

§ 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 Mr. Berry:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
