No
The document describes a physical implant and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which involves treating a disease condition.
No
This device, the Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System, is an intervertebral body fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures. Its purpose is therapeutic (to facilitate fusion), not diagnostic (to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition).
No
The device description explicitly states that the Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System is fabricated from physical materials (Titanium or PEEK) and includes components like screws, pins, and a lock plate, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for spinal fusion, not a diagnostic test.
The provided information describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System is intended to be used with the screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation. The Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one disc level (C2-T1). DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. It is to be used in patients who have had at least six weeks of nonoperative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft.

Device Description
The Pro-Link® Stand-Alone Cervical Spacer System is intended to serve as an intervertebral body fusion device. The implant is available in a range of sizes and footprints to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. It is fabricated and manufactured from either Titanium (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) or Polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA LT1) with tantalum markers and titanium pins (Ti 6Al-4V ELI). The implant is hollow to permit packing with autogenous bone graft to help promote intervertebral body fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces have teeth to assist in the interface with the vertebral endplates to prevent rotation and/or migration. The implant has two pockets to permit placement of titanium bone screws (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) through the interbody to provide internal fixation. The implant also has one central threaded hole to permit the insertion of a titanium lock plate (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) to prevent screw back out.

§ 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 Mr. Lewis:
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.
