Intended Use
The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The TranS1® Interbody Fusion System is a radiolucent PEEK interbody fusion implant comprised of various heights and footprints to accommodate individual patient anatomy and graft material size. It also interfaces with Class I access instruments and disc preparation instruments. The TranS1® Interbody Fusion System provides anterior, transforaminal or posterior approaches to the spine. The access techniques allow a large cage to be implanted similar to marketed anterior, transforaminal, or posterior lumbar interbody fusion devices. It is designed for use with supplemental fixation to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals.

The summary describes a physical interbody fusion implant and associated instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are mechanical testing, not related to AI/ML performance metrics.

No
The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is an implant designed for spinal fusion procedures, providing structural support and not actively treating a condition in a therapeutic manner.

No

Explanation: The device is an interbody fusion system designed for spinal fusion procedures, specifically as an implant, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "radiolucent PEEK interbody fusion implant comprised of various heights and footprints," which is a physical implant, not software. It also mentions "access instruments and disc preparation instruments" and "mechanical testing," all indicative of a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate fusion. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for spinal fusion, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK and surgical instruments, not equipment for analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the implant's structural integrity, which is relevant for a surgical device, not an IVD.

The mention of "radiographic studies" in the intended use refers to the diagnostic information used to identify patients who are candidates for the surgical procedure, not the device itself performing a diagnostic function.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiquous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

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

Mechanical testing for the TranS1 Interbody Fusion System was performed per ASTM standards and included:

TestStandard
Static CompressionASTM F2077-11
Static Compression ShearASTM F2077-11
Static TorsionASTM F2077-11
SubsidenceASTM F2267-04
ExpulsionN/A
Dynamic CompressionASTM F2077-11

All static and dynamic testing met or exceeded the requirements as established by the test protocol and applicable ASTM standards. The results demonstrated that the subject TranS1 Interbody Fusion System presents no new worst-case for performance testing, and the subject device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate.

§ 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.
