Intended Use
Vertu® & Vertu® Ti-Bond devices are stand-alone interbody fusion devices intended for spinal fusion procedures at one level from the C2/C3 disc space to the C7/T disc space in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radies) of the cervical spine. Implanted via an open, anterior approach and packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) weeks non-operative treatment prior to being treated with these devices. The implant is designed to accommodate two screws. Two screws should be used to ensure adequate fixation of the implant. Crystal® & Crystal® Ti-Bond devices are intended for spinal fusion at one or two contiguous levels in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine. Implanted via an open, anterior approach from the C2-C3 disc space to the C7-T1 disc space and packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The device is intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine (i.e., anterior plate systems). Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) weeks non-operative treatment prior to being treated with these devices.
Device Description
The Vertu and Vertu Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody System is composed of an implant body made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima®) conforming to ASTM F2026 or PEEK-Optima® coated with commercially pure titanium per ASTM F1580 and fixation screws made from Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 with a Nitinol clip conforming to ASTM F2063. All implant bodies have a titanium insert lining the internal surface of the screw holes conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3. The implant body is generally boxshaped device with holes through its body for the placement of graft material. Additionally, it has teeth located on its superior and inferior external surfaces to help keep the device from migrating once placed in its desired location. Each screw hole is lined in its internal surface with a titanium ring insert. Screws pass through screw holes of the implant body and affix to bone to help prevent implant migration. When fully seated, the screw head rests on the titanium insert of the screw hole. The Crystal and Crystal Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody devices are generally a box-shaped device with various holes located throughout its geometry to allow for packing of bone graft material. The body of the implant is made from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima®) conforming to ASTM F2026 or PEEK-Optima® coated with commercially pure titanium per ASTM F1580. Superior and inferior surfaces of the device have teeth that help keep the device from migrating once placed in its desired location.
More Information

No
The device description focuses solely on the materials and mechanical design of the interbody fusion devices and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is an interbody fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is used to treat degenerative disc disease, not to diagnose it.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is composed of physical components made from titanium alloy and PEEK, which are hardware materials.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a physical implant (interbody fusion device) made of titanium or PEEK, designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant, not an IVD.

Purpose of this 510(k)

This 510(k) seeks clearance for expanded indications to the Vertu® and Vertu® Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody System previously cleared for use under K122771 and K133218 and to the Crystal® and Crystal® Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody System previously cleared for use under K073351 and K133218.

Device Description

The Vertu and Vertu Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody System is composed of an implant body made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima®) conforming to ASTM F2026 or PEEK-Optima® coated with commercially pure titanium per ASTM F1580 and fixation screws made from Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 with a Nitinol clip conforming to ASTM

F2063. All implant bodies have a titanium insert lining the internal surface of the screw holes conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3. The implant body is generally boxshaped device with holes through its body for the placement of graft material. Additionally, it has teeth located on its superior and inferior external surfaces to help keep the device from migrating once placed in its desired location. Each screw hole is lined in its internal surface with a titanium ring insert. Screws pass through screw holes of the implant body and affix to bone to help prevent implant migration. When fully seated, the screw head rests on the titanium insert of the screw hole.

The Crystal and Crystal Ti-Bond Cervical Interbody devices are generally a box-shaped device with various holes located throughout its geometry to allow for packing of bone graft material. The body of the implant is made from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima®) conforming to ASTM F2026 or PEEK-Optima® coated with commercially pure titanium per ASTM F1580. Superior and inferior surfaces of the device have teeth that help keep the device from migrating once placed in its desired location.
