Intended Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain 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. Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System 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 is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc 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 I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for lumbar spinal fusion procedures. When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, FortiCore® is 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. FortiCore® devices 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, FortiCore® is 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 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). FortiCore® devices 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 and FortiCore® Systems include PLIF 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 PLIF devices from both systems are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the individual patient anatomy. The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® PLIF implants are offered as sterile.

No
The document describes a physical implant device and its intended use, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "Intervertebral Body Fusion System," intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease and discogenic back pain. This clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an implant for spinal fusion procedures, not a diagnostic tool. Its purpose is to physically fuse vertebrae, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the systems include "PLIF 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:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is an implantable intervertebral body fusion device used in spinal fusion procedures. It is a physical device surgically placed within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion and FortiCore® Systems are medical devices used for surgical treatment, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

(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).

Primary Predicate:Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System (Nanovis LLC, K110442)
Additional Predicates:FortiCore® (Nanovis LLC, K140280)
Aleutian® IBF System (K2M, Inc., K133614)
Performance Data:Static and dynamic compression testing per ASTM F2077 and/or dimensional
analyses of the modified Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion and FortiCore®
devices were performed. The results demonstrated the performance of the

ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011 confirm an endotoxin limit of 2.15 EU/mL.
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 FortiCore devices is
the 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.
