Intended Use
The Nuvasive® PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is a partial or total vertebral body replacement device indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor or fracture, to restore height of a collapsed vertebral body, and to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Allograft material may be used at the surgeon's discretion.
Device Description
The NuVasive PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is a vertebral body replacement system manufactured from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Optima LT-1 conforming to ASTM F2026. The PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is made up of two primary components: a core and a set of endcaps. The core is offered in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The modular endcaps are offered in multiple footprints and lordosis options. The device contains pins made of either titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 or tantalum conforming to ASTM F560 or ISO 13782 to serve as radiopaque markers. The System is provided non-sterile, and is designed to be sterilized by the user before each use.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical vertebral body replacement device made of PEEK and titanium/tantalum. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is a partial or total vertebral body replacement device, which is used to treat diseased or damaged vertebral bodies and restore height, fitting the description of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a vertebral body replacement system, not a device used to diagnose medical conditions. Its purpose is to treat diseased or damaged vertebral bodies by replacing them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a vertebral body replacement system manufactured from PEEK and contains titanium or tantalum pins, indicating it is a physical implant, 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 describes a device that is surgically implanted to replace a vertebral body. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of an implantable device (core, endcaps, pins) made from materials suitable for implantation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing information for diagnosis. The device's function is structural support and replacement.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices. The following testing and analysis was performed:

  • Static and dynamic axial compression per ASTM F2077
  • Static and dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077 ●
  • Push-out testing ●
  • Subsidance analysis

The results demonstrate that the subject PEEK Corpectomy Railed System is substantially equivalent to predicate devices. No non-clinical studies were conducted.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.
