No
The description focuses on the material, mechanical design, and surgical implantation technique of a physical implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing for decision support or analysis.
Yes
The device is used for intervertebral spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which involves correcting a medical condition or ailment.
No
This device is an Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, intended for spinal fusion procedures. It is an implantable device used in treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK and includes instruments for implantation, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion, not a test performed on biological samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of PEEK and tantalum, designed to be surgically placed between vertebrae. It does not involve reagents, assays, or analysis of biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes typical of IVDs, such as sample collection, analysis of biomarkers, or diagnostic interpretation of results.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical and biological compatibility of the implant itself (durability, fatigue, subsidence, cytotoxicity), not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the InterFuse L - Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The InterFuse L - Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for intervertebral spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The InterFuse L device is to be used in patients who have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved spinal level(s). The InterFuse L device is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft and to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use by the FDA in the lumbosacral spine.

Device Description
VTI's InterFuse L - Intervertebral Body Fusion device is made of implant grade Polyetheretherketone (PEEK- OPTIMA®, Grade LT1), a polymer with a history of use in interbody fusion device designs, and which has a compressive modulus similar to bone. The device has two modules. Module A has a rail and Module B has a slot. The modules are installed by using VTI's proprietary slot riding the rail technology. Both modules have tantalum beads that aid in visualizing the implanted device under X-ravs. Each module incorporates a ramp lock to help ensure that it is properly aligned and engaged with the other module. Each module has two vertical slots through the device for the surgeon to fill with autogenous bone that will provide a path for solid bone growth during the fusion process. The device is produced in six heights (7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm) each for parallel and 8 lordotic configurations to fit the angular geometry of the disc at each disc level. Four anterior - posterior (AP) lengths (16 mm, 18 mm, 21 mm and 24 mm) of the device are being offered. The device will be available in 7 Medial - Lateral (ML) dimensions (35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm 60 mm and 65 mm).
VTI will supply a set of Instruments (all non-sterile, re-usable manual instruments) for implantation of InterFuse L by a Direct-Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion technique.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing comparing the InterFuse L Intervertebral Body Fusion Device to the predicate devices (K091988 and K102277).
The performance of the InterFuse L was tested, post gamma irradiation sterilization, in accordance with ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267 - 04 as detailed below:
- 4.5.1 Device durability was verified by static testing per ASTM F2077-11 for axial load deflection and shear deflection.
- Device durability was also verified by dynamic testing per ASTM F2077-11 for 4.5.2 axial load cyclic fatigue and shear load cyclic fatigue.
- Subsidence testing was conducted per ASTM F2267-04. 4.5.3
The packaged and sterilized InterFuse L device was also tested for cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5:2009) and was found to be non-cytotoxic.

VTI will supply a set of Instruments (all non-sterile, re-usable manual instruments) for implantation of InterFuse L by a Direct-Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion technique.
4.3 INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE
The InterFuse L - Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for intervertebral spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The InterFuse L device is to be used in patients who have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved spinal level(s). The InterFuse L device is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft and to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use by the FDA in the lumbosacral spine.
4.4 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE
InterFuse L Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is substantially equivalent in performance, indication, design and materials to InterFuse S Intervertebral Body Fusion Device (cleared under premarket notification # K091988) and InterFuse T Intervertebral Body Fusion Device (cleared under premarket notification # K102277) both products of Vertebral Technologies. Inc.
4.5 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS FROM THE NONCLINICAL TESTS SUBMITTED
The substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing comparing the InterFuse L Intervertebral Body Fusion Device to the predicate devices (K091988 and K102277).
The basic design of the device is similar to the 510(k) cleared predicate devices (K091988 and K102277). The device will be assembled (intra-operatively) via Direct-Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (DLIF) technique as compared to the predicate devices which are
2
K131540
assembled (intra-operatively) via Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion techniques respectively.
The InterFuse L Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is assembled (intra-operatively) using the same rail and slot system as done for the predicate devices (K091988 and K102277).
The performance of the InterFuse L was tested, post gamma irradiation sterilization, in accordance with ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267 - 04 as detailed below:
- 4.5.1 Device durability was verified by static testing per ASTM F2077-11 for axial load deflection and shear deflection.
- Device durability was also verified by dynamic testing per ASTM F2077-11 for 4.5.2 axial load cyclic fatigue and shear load cyclic fatigue.
- Subsidence testing was conducted per ASTM F2267-04. 4.5.3
Substantial equivalence comparison between InterFuse L and predicate devices performance results is given in section 10.
The detailed performance results are given in section 12.
The packaged and sterilized InterFuse L device was also tested for cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5:2009) and was found to be non-cytotoxic.
The InterFuse L device is sterilized by gamma irradiation by the same process as used for the predicate devices (K091988 and K102277). This process provides a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
On the basis of performance data it is concluded that the InterFuse L – Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K091988 and K102277).
