CERVICAL INTERBODY FUSION DEVICE When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF)/ Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. Cervical IBFs are intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from the C2 to C3 intervertebral body space to the C7 to T1 intervertebral body space, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Cervical IBFs are to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. IBFs are designed for use with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. IBFs are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION DEVICE When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF) / Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. Lumbar IBFs are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1 intervertebral body space, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Lumbar IBFs are to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. IBFs are designed for use with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. IBFs are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. VERTEBRAL BODY REPLACEMENT When used as a vertebral body replacement (VBR) implant, the Interbody Fusion (IBF) / Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System ("IBF/VBR System") is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine, from T1 to L5, for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. VBRs are also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. VBRs are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column, even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period of time. The system is intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for the conditions listed above (i.e., tumor or trauma of T1 to L5). Additionally, the VBR implant is intended to be used with bone graft.

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

Yes
Explanation: The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine for the treatment of cervical disc disease, degenerative disc disease, tumors, and fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine, aiming to restore height and biomechanical integrity, which are therapeutic actions.

No

This device is an implantable medical device used for spinal fusion and vertebral body replacement, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "implantable devices manufactured from PEEK with tantalum or titanium alloy radiographic markers" and "Implant-specific and 510(k) exempt orthopedic manual surgical instruments," indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is an implantable system (Interbody Fusion (IBF) / Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) System) made of PEEK with radiographic markers. Its intended use is for surgical implantation in the spine to facilitate fusion or replace vertebral bodies.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is mechanical support and facilitating bone fusion within the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
