Intended Use
The Alamo P is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with the degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. The device system must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and is to be implanted via a posterior approach.
Device Description
The Alamo P is used for spinal fusion surgery to provide support and structural stability at the fusion site following discectomy. The device is manufactured from PEEK Optima® LT1 per ASTM F2026 and includes tantalum markers per ASTM F560 for radiographic visualization. The device footprint has a hollow centre to accommodate bone graft to facilitate bone integration and fusion between the end plates from a posterior (PLIF) surgical approach. The device is available in various heights to accommodate variability among patients and the inferior and superior surfaces are designed with ridges to improve fixation and stability and prevent back out and migration.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material, design, and mechanical properties of a spinal fusion cage, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is an intervertebral cage intended to provide support and structural stability for spinal fusion, not to provide therapy.

No

The provided text describes the "Alamo P" as an intervertebral cage used in spinal fusion procedures to provide support and stability, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is manufactured from PEEK and includes tantalum markers, indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an intervertebral cage made of PEEK and tantalum markers, designed to provide support and stability during spinal fusion. This is a physical implant, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for the examination of specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The device is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for a surgical procedure, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.

§ 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.
