Intended Use
The enSpire™ Discectomy System is intended for use in cutting, grinding and aspirating intervertebral disc material during discectorny procedures in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.
Device Description
The modified enSpire™ Discectomy System is a single-use discectomy device that is designed to cut and grind intervertebral disc material. An auger mechanism retrieves the excised debris and ejects it into a collection chamber. The modified enSpire™ Discectorny System is supplied as a sterile, single patient use, disposable device.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as a tool for cutting, grinding, and aspirating disc material during discectomy procedures, which are surgical interventions, not therapeutic treatments.

No
The device is described as a discectomy system intended for cutting, grinding, and aspirating intervertebral disc material, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical, single-use discectomy device with mechanical components (auger mechanism) designed to cut, grind, and aspirate tissue. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "cutting, grinding and aspirating intervertebral disc material during discectomy procedures." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device designed to physically remove tissue.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.

The enSpire™ Discectomy System is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body) during a surgical procedure.

Dear Ms. DeGregorio:

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.
