Intended Use
The Kepler II is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with accompanying radicular symptoms at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history of radiographic studies. These patients should have had 6 weeks of non-operative treatment. The Kepler II implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. The Kepler II Cervical Cage is to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The Kepler II Cervical Cage consists of cervical spinal interbody fusion devices as well as instrumentation designed specifically for the implantation of these devices. The Kepler II Cervical Cage is manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 polymer and contains tantalum radiopaque markers. The Kepler II Cervical Cage is for single level anterior spinal use from the C2-C3 to C7-T1 disc levels.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instrumentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
The Kepler II is indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and requires an implant via an open, anterior approach. It is intended to treat a medical condition.

No

This device is a cervical cage designed for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is to treat degenerative disc disease by providing structural support and facilitating fusion, rather than by identifying or characterizing a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a cervical spinal interbody fusion device made of PEEK polymer with tantalum markers, and includes instrumentation for implantation. This indicates a physical implant and surgical tools, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Kepler II is a cervical cage for spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to treat a physical condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK polymer and tantalum markers, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while the Kepler II is a therapeutic device implanted directly into the body.

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Orbbo, LLC. Kepler II was evaluated to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate devices. Mechanical testing, which characterized the mechanical performance and fatigue endurance to show the original performance requirements for Static Compression, Static Compression Shear, Static Torsion, Dynamic Compression, Dynamic Compression Shear and Dynamic Torsion per ASTM F2077-14, Subsidence per ASTM F2267-04 (reapproved 2011) and Expulsion testing per a recognized industry norm were met. No clinical testing was performed. Bacterial endotoxin testing per USP34 and NF 29. Material-mediated pyrogenicity per ISO 10993-11 (2006) and ASTM F750-87 (2007).

CONCLUSION

The Kepler II has been tested per ASTM F2077 in Static Compression, Static Compression Shear, Static Torsion, Dynamic Compression, Dynamic Compression Shear, Dynamic Torsion and ASTM F2267 Subsidence as well as expulsion testing and were considered substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices. The subject Kepler II has similar intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The overall technology characteristics lead to the conclusion that the Kepler II is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
