More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical characteristics and function of intervertebral body fusion devices made of PEEK, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes.

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis, which means it is used to treat or manage a medical condition.

No

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device (spacer), indicated for use in spinal fusion surgery to treat degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis. It is an implantable medical device used for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the devices are physical implants made from PEEK material with tantalum markers, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Stryker Spine AVS® PEEK Spacers are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that these are "intervertebral body fusion devices" and their intended use is for "adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD)" and "degenerative scoliosis." They are physical implants designed to be placed within the body during surgery.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device itself is implanted.

Therefore, these devices fall under the category of implantable medical devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

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

Published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices that are the subject of this submission was provided in support of this application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the use of the lumbar interbody fusion procedures to treat patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis above does not adversely affect performance of the system and does not represent a new worst case scenario. No changes were made to the existing devices; therefore, no additional implant testing was required or performed.

§ 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. Meany:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing

1

(21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

The Stryker Spine AVS® ARIA PEEK Spacers are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autograff and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1.

DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy.

Additionally, the AVS® ARIA PEEK Spacers can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis.

The AVS® ARIA PEEK Spacers are intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

| Summary of
Technological
Characteristics | The subject Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices
and the predicate systems share similar design features:
• Graft windows for packing autogenous and/or allogenic bone
graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft
when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion
• Serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces
• Comparable heights, widths, depths, and lordotic angles |
| Summary of the
Performance Data | Published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to
the Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices that are
the subject of this submission was provided in support of this
application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the
use of the lumbar interbody fusion procedures to treat patients
diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis above does not adversely
affect performance of the system and does not represent a new
worst case scenario. No changes were made to the existing |

17

devices; therefore, no additional implant testing was required or
performed.
ConclusionThe design features, materials used, manufacturing, and sterilization
methods are identical to the previously cleared Stryker Spine lumbar
intervertebral body fusion devices with the exception of broadening
the indications to include the use Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral
body fusion devices to treat patients diagnosed with degenerative
scoliosis.
The data presented in this submission demonstrate that the Stryker
Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices that are the subject
of this submission with the broadened indications as described
above are substantially equivalent to the predicate systems.
