The summary describes a mechanical intervertebral body fusion device made of titanium with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device indicated for treating degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device, which is an implant used for structural support in spinal fusion surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is made from Titanium and describes its physical components and mechanical properties, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The EOI FLXfit Intervertebral body fusion device is a physical implant made of titanium. It is surgically placed within the body to fuse vertebrae.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.
The description clearly indicates a surgical implant used for treatment, not a device used for testing biological samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The EOI FLXfit Intervertebral body fusion device is indicated for interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one 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 EOI FLXfit device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation system and with autogenous bone graft.

Device Description
EOI FLXfit Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is made From Titanium (Ti6A14V-ELI per ASTM norm F136). This is an articulated-expanded device with height ranges from 8mm through 14mm. The device also expands in height to provide lordosis angle correction of up to 10°.
The FLXfit components are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F136). The predicate devices are manufactured from the same or similar materials. It is implanted via a Transforaminal approach and supplemented by posterior fixation. The device is made from two titanium segments that are serrated on the superior and inferior surfaces. The titanium segments are attached (linked) with titanium wedge pins that provide the means to form the implant into its final articulated shape. The device also expands in height to provide lordosis angle correction of up to 10°.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The FLXfit has been tested in the following test modes:
- Static Axial Compression (ASTM F2077) .
- Static Compression-Shear (ASTM F2077) .
- Dynamic Axial Compression (ASTM F2077) .
- Dynamic Compression-Shear (ASTM F2077) .
- . Subsidence (ASTM F2267 and ASTM F2077)
- Usability cadaveric study conducted to evaluate clinical application of the device, . including the expansion mechanism. and intra-operative subsidence
The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the FLXfit is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 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.
