Intended Use
The WAVE O Cage is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These implants may be implanted via an open or a minimally invasive unilateral posterior approach. Alternatively, these implants may also be implanted via a transforaminal approach. These implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The WAVE O cage is an expandable PEEK cage of various widths and heights, which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implant (a cage) used in spinal fusion surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven analysis that would indicate the presence of AI/ML technology. The performance studies mentioned are mechanical testing and finite element analysis, which are standard for physical implants.

Yes.
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease and acts as an implant for spinal fusion surgeries, which falls under therapeutic uses.

No

Explanation: The device is an implantable cage used for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is used in patients who have already been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is an expandable PEEK cage, which is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, this 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The WAVE O Cage is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed between vertebral bodies in the lumbar spine. Its purpose is to provide support and correction during spinal fusion surgery, using bone graft.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device itself does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological samples. It is a therapeutic device used in a surgical procedure.

Therefore, the WAVE O Cage 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 Mr. Webb:

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.
