No
The document describes a physical implant device made of PEEK and tantalum markers, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies listed are mechanical tests of the implant's structural integrity.
Yes
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease, trauma/fracture, or tumors in the spine by providing fusion and/or replacement of vertebral bodies.
No
The Virtu C device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device and vertebral body replacement device, which are types of implants used to treat spinal conditions. Its functions are structural support, fusion, and restoring height, not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is an implant manufactured from PEEK and tantalum markers, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, 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 Virtu C device is an implantable medical device designed for surgical procedures to fuse or replace vertebral bodies in the spine. It is a physical implant, not a test performed on a biological sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD.
Therefore, the Virtu C Spinal Implant System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
When used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion Device:
The Virtu C cervical spine devices are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine (C2-T1). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone (allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared cervical supplemental fixation system. Patients should receive 6 weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment.
When used as a Vertebral Body Replacement Device:
The Virtu C device is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for partial or total replacement of a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to trauma/fracture or tumor to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared supplemental fixation device such as a lumbar pedicle screw system.

§ 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.
