The document describes a physical implant (PEEK cage) and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would involve AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an implantable cage designed to promote bone fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) by providing support and stability to the spine, thereby treating a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is an interbody fusion cage designed for stabilizing the spine and promoting bone fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of physical PEEK cages and associated instruments, which are hardware components.
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 device is a surgical implant used for spinal fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK and tantalum, designed to provide structural support and promote bone fusion.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a patient's health. This device does not perform any such analysis. It is a therapeutic device.
The mentions of radiographic images and mechanical testing are related to the assessment of the implant's performance and placement after implantation, not for diagnostic purposes using patient specimens.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TAURUS PEEK Cages are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. The device must be used with supplemental fixation. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is indicated to be used with autograft bone.

Device Description
The TAURUS PEEK Cage System consists of four different models of interbody fusion devices - TAURUS-P™ Cage, TAURUS-AL (ALIF) Cage, and TAURUS-DL Cage. TAURUS PEEK Cage System is intended for stabilization use and to promote bone fusion during the normal healing process following surgical correction of disorders of the spine. The devices consist of PEEK cages of various heights, widths, and lengths, which can be inserted across the disc space between two lumbar vertebral bodies to give support and correction during vertebral bod fusion surgeries. All models have serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces of the implants to aid in fixation. All models are designed with hollow regions in the center to house autograft bone graft material. The new bone formation through the implant is intended to provide long-term structural support and biologic fusion at the implanted disc space. Radiopaque tantalum markers have been embedded within the implants to allow for visualization in radiographic images. Associated instruments are available to facilitate the implantation of the devices.
The PEEK material used in the subject interbody cages conforms to ASTM F2026 "Standard Specification for polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Polymers for Surgical Implant Applications" and the tantalum material used conforms to ASTM F560 "Standard Specification for Unalloyed Tantalum for Surgical Implant Applications".

(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 Ms. Scifert:
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.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The subject systems components are similar in sizes, materials and geometry to the predicate components. The subject components have the same indications as the predicate components. The differences in the subject and predicate devices do not render the system not substantially equivalent.
Performance Testing:
Mechanical testing, including, static axial compression bending, static shear compression bending, static torsion, dynamic axial compression fatigue, and subsidence have been performed per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267 on the subject TAURUS PEEK Cage devices and the results have shown them to be substantially equivalent to the predicate interbody devices.
Conclusion:
The subject devices are similar to the predicate devices with respect to indications for use, design, dimensions, and materials. The testing performed supports that the subject TAURUS PEEK Cages are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
