Intended Use
The Leva™ Spacer System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radios. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Leva™ Spacer System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral body fusion device.
Device Description
The Leva™ Spacer System is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device fabricated from unalloyed commercially pure (Class II) titanium per ASTM F67. The device is available in both expandable and fixed configurations. The expandable device is provided in a collapsed form and is expanded to a predefined height in-situ using the Leva™ Inserter Instrument. Both the fixed and expandable implants are provided in different heights to accommodate the anatomical needs for a range of patients. The implants are designed to accommodate autogenous bone graft material. The implants have curved endplates to conform to the bony endplates of the patient and ridges on the endplates to resist expulsion.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a physical implant for spinal fusion, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or software-based analysis.

Yes
The device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device used for treating degenerative disc disease, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is an intervertebral body fusion device used for treatment (fusion procedures), not for diagnosing medical conditions. While "radios" are mentioned related to confirming disc degeneration, the device itself doesn't perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states the Leva™ Spacer System is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device fabricated from titanium, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Leva™ Spacer System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Leva™ Spacer System is an implantable medical device used in surgical procedures to fuse vertebrae in the lumbar spine. It is a physical device inserted into the body, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.

The description clearly states its intended use is for intervertebral body fusion procedures and describes its physical characteristics as an implant fabricated from titanium. While it mentions "radios" (radiographic studies) are used in the diagnosis of the condition it treats, the device itself does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological specimens.

§ 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 Ms. Johnson:

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.
