Intended Use
The ELITE™ L Expandable Lumbar Fusion System is indicated for use as intervertebral body fusion devices in sketetally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine from L2-L5. Patients should have received a minimum of six months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. These patients may also have up to grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These implants are intended for use with autogenous bone graft and supplemental internal fixation systems such as a pedicle screw or anterior plating system.
Device Description
The Elite™ L is a titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-ELI) implant that is designed to provide mechanical support of the intradiscal space while biologic fusion occurs. The device is available in a variety of footprints, all of which are inserted in the unexpanded state and are expanded in situ. There are various heights to accommodate varied patients' anatomy. The implants are available in parallel and lordotic angles, with the implant end plates being bi-convex to optimize contact with the vertebral body end plates. All implants are made from medical grade titanium alloy. Implants have a locking mechanism to hold the implant in the expanded position once deployed.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used to treat degenerative disc disease and provide mechanical support, indicating a therapeutic purpose to treat a medical condition.

No

The device is an implantable intervertebral body fusion device designed for mechanical support, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a titanium alloy implant, which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an intervertebral body fusion device used in surgery to provide mechanical support and facilitate bone fusion in the lumbar spine. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a titanium alloy implant designed for surgical insertion and expansion within the body. This aligns with a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the ELITE™ L Expandable Lumbar Fusion System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Primary Predicate Device, the Elite Expandable Interbody Fusion Device was tested according to ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267. Testing included static and dynamic axial compression, subsidence and expulsion. The Elite™ L device was compared to the Primary Predicate using FEA and demonstrated greater strength and durability to static and dynamic forces compared to the Primary Predicate. A complete analysis is provided.

§ 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.

Purpose:

The purpose of this submission is to add devices to be implanted from the lateral surgical approach.

Device Description

The Elite™ L is a titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V-ELI) implant that is designed to provide mechanical support of the intradiscal space while biologic fusion occurs. The device is available in a variety of footprints, all of which are inserted in the unexpanded state and are expanded in situ. There are various heights to accommodate varied patients' anatomy. The implants are available in parallel and lordotic angles, with the implant end plates being bi-convex to optimize contact with the vertebral body end plates. All implants are made from medical grade titanium alloy. Implants have a locking mechanism to hold the implant in the expanded position once deployed.

Predicate Device

The predicate devices include the Primary Predicate which is the Elite IBF by Innova Spine (K133459). Additional predicates include the Clydesdale Spinal System from Medtronic (K100175) and the Coroent XL Keeled System by Nuvasive (K081611).
