The document describes a mechanical spinal implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease and acts as an intervertebral body fusion device, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System is an intervertebral body fusion device used for treatment of degenerative disc disease, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of PEEK, titanium alloy, and stainless steel, which are implanted into the body. The submission also details mechanical testing and sterilization procedures for these physical components and instruments.
Based on the provided text, the SOVEREIGN® Spinal System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, involving the surgical implantation of a device. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant (intervertebral body fusion device) and associated surgical instruments. It is not designed to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the SOVEREIGN® Spinal System falls under the category of a surgical implant and associated instrumentation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to SI. 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 a laparoscopic or an open anterior approach.
The SOVEREIGN® interbody system may be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with supplemental fixation.
When used as a stand-alone device, the SOVEREIGN® interbody device is intended to be used with the three titanium alloy fixed or variable angle screws. The accompanying cover plate MUST be used anytime the device is used with any number of variable angle screws. If the physician chooses to use less than three or none of the provided screws. then additional supplemental fixation for use in the lumbar spine must be used to augment stability.

Device Description
The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System is an intervertebral body fusion device with integrated screw fixation. The screws protrude through the interbody portion of the device and stabilize the vertebral body while preventing expulsion of the implant. The implant is lens-shaped with three holes for placement of titanium screws. The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System contains both a fixed and a variable angle screw option. The fixed angle screw option provides an interference fit with the PEEK interbody implant. The variable angle screw option provides a slight clearance between the PEEK interbody implant and the screw which allows for a small amount of variable screw angulation. This system is intended to be radiolucent and the interior space of the product is to be used with autogenous bone graft. The accompanying cover plate is designed to resist screw backout and must be used when the variable angle screws are implanted. The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System interbody device is manufactured from PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and contains tantalum radiopaque markers. The screws used with this device are manufactured from titanium alloy.
The SOVEREIGN® Spinal System includes instrumentation that enables the surgeon to implant the devices via a laparoscopic or an open anterior approach. The purpose of this Special 510(k) submission is to make modifications to the inserter sleeve that is part of SOVEREIGN® Spinal System. The inserter sleeve is a cylindrical stainless steel sleeve, incorporating a polymer bushing, which is used in conjunction with the inserter knob and one of three inserter shafts to securely hold a SOVEREIGN® interbody implant during insertion and impaction into the vertebral disc space.
