Intended Use
LATIS™ Spacers are interbody fusion devices intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). 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 at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). LATIS™ Spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
LATIS™ Spacers are lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. LATIS™ Spacers are provided in a shape that accommodates a posterior, transforaminal, or lateral approach to the lumbar spine; after insertion the implant can be transformed to the desired footprint. The devices are available in various heights and geometric options to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. These spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. Protrusions on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to resist expulsion. LATIS™ Spacers are manufactured from titanium alloy per ASTM F136 and F1295.

No
The summary describes a mechanical interbody fusion device made of titanium alloy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes

Explanation: The device is an interbody fusion device intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease, which aims to treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The document clearly states that LATIS™ Spacers are "interbody fusion devices intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine". These devices are implants designed to provide structural stability and facilitate fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the LATIS™ Spacers are manufactured from titanium alloy, indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an interbody fusion device used in surgical procedures to treat degenerative disc disease. It is implanted into the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium alloy, designed to provide structural stability in the spine.
  • 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. This device is a surgical implant used inside the body.

§ 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.
