The summary describes a physical intervertebral fusion device and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.
Yes
The device is an intervertebral fusion device intended for the treatment of degenerative disc disease and is designed to aid in spinal fusion procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an intervertebral fusion device (spacer) used to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical implant (structural column, upper and lower implant openings, central cavity, surface teeth) intended for surgical implantation, which is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, 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 samples from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
- Device Description: The device is described as a structural implant with a central cavity for bone graft, designed to be placed between vertebrae. This is consistent with a surgical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing and subsidence properties, which are relevant to the structural integrity and function of a surgical implant, not the analytical or clinical performance of an IVD.
Therefore, the GPS™ Cervical and Lumbar Spacers are surgical implants, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral fusion device, the GPS™ Cervical Spacers are indicated for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C2-T1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is intended for use with and with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the cervical spine.
When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the GPS™ PLIF Spacers are intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative discase (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. These patients of nonoperative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery and/or may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). The device is to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for lumbar spinal fusion procedures.

Device Description
The basic shape of the Cervical and Lumbar GPS™ devices is a structural column having upper and lower implant openings and a central cavity for autograft bone. The cervical devices have a "B" shaped cross-section. The PLIF devices are rectangular having a pyramidal anterior surface. The TLIF device cross-section is curved having a wedged leading face. For all devices, surface teeth assist in the seating the implant between the vertebral bodies. Each device type is available in a variety of size and angulation combinations to accommodate the diversity in patient anatomy.

Summary of Performance Studies
Mechanical testing of the worst case GPS™ Spacers was performed according to ASTM F2077 and included static and dynamic compression and static and dynamic torsion. The subsidence properties were evaluated according to ASTM F2267. Expulsion testing was performed. The mechanical test results demonstrate that the GPS™ Spacer performance is substantially equivalent to the 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.

Dear Dr. Warden:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
