No
The document describes a physical implant device and its intended use, materials, and testing related to MRI compatibility. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device systems are intended to mitigate and/or replace the disc space due to degenerative disc disease, tumor, or trauma, which are therapeutic actions.
No
This device is a surgical implant designed to replace or fuse vertebral bodies in the spine. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one, as it is used to correct physical conditions rather than identify them.
No
The device description clearly states that the devices are implants manufactured from materials like titanium alloy and PEEK, and are intended for surgical implantation. This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The text clearly describes the device as a surgical implant (interbody fusion device and vertebral body replacement device) intended for use within the human body to treat spinal conditions like degenerative disc disease, tumors, and trauma. It is implanted surgically.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is structural and therapeutic, not diagnostic.
Therefore, the device described is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
- InFix® Anterior Lumbar System:
When used as a vertebral body replacement device, the InFix System is intended for use in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine (T3-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial vertebrectorny procedures) due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The InFix System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The InFix intended to be used with bone graft.
When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the InFix System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbosacral region (12-S1) in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device. Patients should be skeletally mature and six months of non-operative treatment. When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the InFix implant is intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
For both of the indications listed above, the InFix implant is intended to be implanted via an open anterior approach. - Ardis® Interbody System:
The Ardis Interbody System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft as an intervertebral body fusion device at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbosacral region (12-S1) in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device. Patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non- operative treatment.
The Ardis Interbody System is implanted using a posterior or transforaminal approach and is intended to be used singly or in pairs with supplemental fixation. - BAK/C® Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion System:
The BAK/C implant is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. BAK/C implants are used to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C-3 to C-7 disc levels using autograft bone. - BAK® Interbody Fusion System:
The BAK device is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels form L2-S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved levels(s). BAK devices are to be implanted via an open anterior or posterior approach. 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 six months of non-operative treatment.
Standard BAK devices and BAK/Proximity devices are to be implanted via an open anterior or posterior approach. BP/Lordotic devices are to be implanted via an open anterior approach.
All BAK devices are also indicated for lapantation at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels for the same clinical indications described above. - TraXis® Vertebral Body Replacement (Ti and VUE):
Cadence and TraXis are vertebral body replacement devices that are intended for use in the thoracic and/or thoracolumbar spine (T3-LS) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial or total vertebres) due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). These devices are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. These devices are intended to be used with bone graff.

intervertebral body fusion device, the InFix implant is
intended to be used with supplemental fixation. |
| | For both of the indications listed above, the InFix implant is
intended to be implanted via an open anterior approach. |
| TraXis Vertebral
Body Replacement | Cadence and TraXis are vertebral body replacement devices
that are intended for use in the thoracic and/or thoracolumbar
spine (T3-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable
vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial or total
vertebrectomy procedures) due to tumor or trauma (i.e.,
fracture). These devices are designed to restore the
biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior
spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged
period. These devices are intended to be used with bone
graft. |

Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The technological characteristics remain the same between the subject Zimmer Spine Interbody Fusion and Vertebral Body Replacement Device Systems as the predicate devices listed above. There are no changes to the implants (interbody and VBR) and instrumentation within this submission. This submission is only proposing labeling updates regarding interactions with magnetic fields during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with respect to patient safety.
All the technology characteristics remain the same: same system's intended use. same mechanical and functional scientific technology; same materials and the same substantially equivalent performance characteristics.
Summary of Performance Testing:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) testing of interbody fusion and VBR devices contained in the Zimmer Spine Interbody Fusion and Vertebral Body Replacement Device Systems were assessed and tested appropriately to design controls and the following ASTM Standards.
- ASTM F2052: 2006 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment
- ASTM F2119: 2007 Standard Test Method for Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts ● from Passive Implants
- ASTM F2182: 11a* Standard Test Method of Measurement of Radio Frequency ● Induced Heating Near Passive Implants During Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- ASTM F2213: 2006 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically . Induced Torque on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment
Zimmer Spine considers the subject Zimmer Spine Interbody Fusion and Vertebral Body Replacement Device Systems to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed (predicate) Zimmer Spine Interbody Fusion and Vertebral Body Replacement Device Systems listed as above because:
- No changes to the intended use,
- No changes to mechanical and functional performance,
- No changes to the functional scientific technology,
- No changes to the implants (screws or rods), ●
- No changes to the instrumentation, ●
- No changes to the technological characteristics mentioned above
- No changes to the surgical technique steps ●
