Intended Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one spinal level from C2-T1. These patients should have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for cervical fusion procedures. When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery and or may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for lumbar spinal fusion procedures.
Device Description
The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® consist of implants and related instruments for implantation. The upper and lower aspects of the implants from both systems are open and have a central column to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The FortiCore® implants have an integrated titanium scaffold which assists in securing the implant in the intervertebral space. The devices from both systems are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the individual patient anatomy.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical implant and related instruments for spinal fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The performance studies mentioned are finite element and dimensional analyses, which are standard engineering evaluations for medical devices, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat disc disease and pain, which are conditions affecting the body, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is described as an intervertebral body fusion system, intended for spinal fusion procedures, and consists of implants. Its purpose is to treat disc disease through surgical fusion, not to diagnose it.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "implants and related instruments for implantation," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion procedures. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details implants and instruments for implantation, consistent with a surgical device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties (finite element and dimensional analyses) and sterility (Bacterial Endotoxins Test), which are relevant to surgical implants, not IVDs.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device ClassificationClass II
Classification Name:Intervertebral body fusion device
Regulation:888.3080
Device Product Code:MAX
Submission Purpose:To add a TLIF interbody size to the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion PEEK
and FortiCore® Systems, to dimensionally modify the Nanovis Intervertebral
Body Fusion System tantalum marker and to add a FortiCore® TLIF marker.
Device Description:The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® consist of
implants and related instruments for implantation. The upper and lower
aspects of the implants from both systems are open and have a central
column to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The FortiCore® implants
have an integrated titanium scaffold which assists in securing the implant in
the intervertebral space. The devices from both systems are available in a
variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the individual patient anatomy.
Indications for Use:When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis
Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal
fusion procedures 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) at one spinal level from
C2-T1. These patients should have had at least six weeks of non-operative
treatment. The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore®
implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with
supplemental fixation indicated for cervical fusion procedures.
When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis
Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal
fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc
disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc
confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous
spinal levels from L2-S1. These patients should have had six months of
nonoperative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion
spinal surgery and/or may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or
retrolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). The Nanovis Intervertebral Body
Fusion System and FortiCore® implants are to be used with autogenous
bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for lumbar
spinal fusion procedures.
Materials:The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System implants are available in
polyetheretherketone (PEEK- OPTIMA® LT1, Invibio® as described by ASTM
F2026) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI as described by ASTM F136). The
PEEK devices incorporate a tantalum marker per ASTM F560.
FortiCore® devices are manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK-
OPTIMA® LT1, Invibio®) as described by ASTM F2026. The integrated
scaffold (BioSync-Ti, Sites Medical) is manufactured from CP titanium as
described by ASTM F67. The FortiCore® devices also incorporate a tantalum
marker per ASTM F560.
Primary Predicate:Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System (Nanovis LLC, K110442)
Additional Predicate:FortiCore® (Nanovis LLC, K140280)
Eminent Spine Interbody Fusion System (Eminent Spine, K090064)
Performance Data:Finite element and dimensional analyses of the modified Nanovis
Intervertebral Body Fusion and FortiCore® devices were performed. The
results demonstrated the performance of the modified Nanovis Intervertebral
Body Fusion System and modified FortiCore devices are substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices.
In addition, the Bacterial Endotoxins Test (BET) was performed according to
ANSI/AAMI ST72 and the device results met the acceptance criterion.
Technological
Characteristics:The modified Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore®
possess technological characteristics similar to the predicate devices. These
include:
performance (as described above), basic design (hollow structural frame), implant grade materials (PEEK polymer, tantalum and/or titanium), and sizes (widths, lengths and heights are within the range(s) offered by the predicates). Therefore the fundamental scientific technology of the Nanovis Intervertebral
Body Fusion System and FortiCore devices is similar to previously cleared
devices.
Conclusion:The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® possess the
same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate
devices. Therefore the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and
FortiCore® are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicates.
