No
The device description and intended use clearly define the device as a physical intervertebral body fusion device made of PEEK or HA PEEK. There is no mention of software, algorithms, AI, or ML in the provided text. The performance studies refer to published clinical data on similar devices, not performance metrics related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as an "intervertebral body fusion device" intended for "skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)" to relieve pain and stabilize the spine, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device that treats or alleviates a medical condition.
No
This device is an intervertebral body fusion device, intended for surgical implantation to treat degenerative disc disease by fusing vertebrae. It is a therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one, as it does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is made of polymer (PEEK or HA PEEK) and is a physical implant intended for surgical insertion. It is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided text, 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 Talos® devices are described as intervertebral body fusion devices made of PEEK or HA PEEK. They are physical implants designed to be surgically placed in the spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate fusion of the vertebrae in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens.
The device is a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic tool.

Non-clinical Testing:
There have been no design changes made to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to obtain clearance to use allograft bone comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone in addition to autologous bone and to change the material of the markers in Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices. No mechanical testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence.
Clinical Testing:
Published retrospective clinical data for lumbar and cervical intervertebral body fusion devices similar to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices is provided in support of this application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the use of allograft in interbody fusion procedures to treat patients with degenerative disc disease as defined above poses no new risks to patients. No design changes were made to the existing devices, nor were any new components added to the system. Therefore, no additional testing was required or performed.

F. Technological Characteristics:
The technological characteristics of the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are identical to the predicate devices in terms of intended use and design. The indications for use are similar. There is a marker material change in the Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices and in the Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices to titanium.
The addition of the allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos® -C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices does not increase risk. The same risks occur in the subject Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices as in the predicate devices. Titanium is biocompatible material and commonly used. The cervical predicate is an intervertebral body fusion device that uses titanium markers.
- G. Non-clinical Testing:
7
There have been no design changes made to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to obtain clearance to use allograft bone comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone in addition to autologous bone and to change the material of the markers in Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices. No mechanical testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence.
-
H. Clinical Testing:
Published retrospective clinical data for lumbar and cervical intervertebral body fusion devices similar to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices is provided in support of this application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the use of allograft in interbody fusion procedures to treat patients with degenerative disc disease as defined above poses no new risks to patients. No design changes were made to the existing devices, nor were any new components added to the system. Therefore, no additional testing was required or performed. -
l. Conclusion:
The Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos® C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices have identical intended use, technological characteristics, design, and principles of operation as their predicate devices; as well as similar indications for use. The proposed devices will have Titanium markers instead of tantalum, which is the same as the predicate device.
There have been no changes to the Talos® Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices, and Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices since the last 510(k) clearance. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to obtain clearance to use either autograft and/or allograft bone comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as a substitute/addition to autologous bone and to change the markers from tantalum to titanium in the cervical implants.
