Intended Use
The CoAlign Innovations AccuLIF TL Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft material in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have completed six months of non-operative treatment. The CoAlign Innovations AccuLIF TL Cage is always to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation. Additionally, the CoAlign Innovations AccuLIF TL Cage is to be used with autogenous bone graft.
Device Description
The AccuLIF TL Cage acts as a spacer to maintain proper intervertebral spacing and angulation following discectomy. The AccuLIF TL Cage is manufactured from TI6A14V ELI) as per ASTM F136-08, Stainless Steel (316 LVM) as per ASTM F138-08, and Silicone Rubber (MED-4870), The device is inserted in unexpanded state with an articulating delivery handle and expanded insitu to the required height via 2 hydraulic cylinder and piston arrangement using a hydraulic system comprising disposable flexible expansion tubing set and inflation syringe. The device locks in 1mm increments as it expands. The AccuLIF Cage comes in 6 to 9mm, 8 to 12mm and 10 to 16mm sizes. Each size also comes in an 11mm x 34mm footprint and a 13mm x 34mm footprint. The device has fixation ridges on the top and bottom surface. It also has a graft opening window which extends from the bottom surface to the top surface. The device has a proximal boss which has a threaded connection port for connecting to the inserter and a fluid port for transporting the expansion fluid. In addition, the AccuLIF TL Cage System includes distractor trials to aid in distracting the disc space and in selecting the appropriate size cage to use in the surgical procedure. The set also contains a variety of other instruments to aid in the implantation of the cages.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical intervertebral body fusion cage and associated instruments. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities. The device's function is purely structural and mechanical.

Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft material in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) to alleviate back pain of discogenic origin. This aims to treat or provide therapy for a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The CoAlign Innovations AccuLIF TL Cage is described as a medical device used for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease. It acts as a spacer to maintain intervertebral spacing and angulation after discectomy. Its purpose is to physically support fusion, not to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implantable cage made of various materials (titanium, stainless steel, silicone rubber) and associated surgical instruments. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for intervertebral body fusion. This is a therapeutic device used directly within the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable cage made of various materials, designed to maintain spinal spacing. It also mentions surgical instruments for implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is an implantable surgical device used inside the body for treatment.

§ 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.

Identification of Predicates

AccuLIF® TL Cage (K113465) -

  • CRESCENT® Spinal System Titanium (K110543)

Summary of Technological Characteristics

AccuLIF® TL Cages are expandable spacers made from Titanium-6AL-4V ELI alloy that conforms to ASTM F136. There have been no changes to the implants and subject and predicate cages have identical technological characteristics. The addition of distractor trials to the system does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Discussion of Testing:

The only change to the system was to add additional Class II instruments to the AccuLIF® Cage system, which was validated through.cadaver testing. No bench testing was required.

Conclusions:

The subject and predicate devices share the same indications for use, design, function, and materials of manufacture. The non-clinical test results demonstrate that the addition of the distractor trial instruments to the system do not impact device safety and effectiveness or performance as compared to the predicates. The AccuLIF® TL Cages were shown to be substantially equivalent to the AccuLIF® TL Cage (K113465) and CRESCENT® Spinal System Titanium (K110543).
