Intended Use
The Anterior Spine Truss System (STS) Interbody Fusion Device is 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 device must be used with supplemental fixation and must be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s).
Device Description
The device is an open architecture truss design mathematically formulated to provide structural support with open space throughout the implant for bone growth and fusion. The 4WEB additive manufacturing process provides a hierarchical surface roughness. The implant is made from Ti6Al4V alloy. The device is available in a variety of sizes and lordotic angles to accommodate the patient's anatomy.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design, material, and manufacturing process of the implant, with no mention of AI or ML for any function (e.g., design optimization, patient-specific sizing, surgical planning).

Yes.
The device is used to treat Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) by providing structural support for bone growth and fusion, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

This device is an interbody fusion device, specifically a "Spine Truss System (STS) Interbody Fusion Device." Its purpose is to provide structural support for bone growth and fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "Anterior Spine Truss System (STS) Interbody Fusion Device" made from Ti6Al4V alloy, which is a physical implant, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used to diagnose diseases, conditions, or to monitor health. Examples include blood tests, urine tests, and genetic tests.
  • This device is an implantable medical device. It is surgically placed into the patient's body to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion in the spine.

The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant for treating degenerative disc disease, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

§ 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.

Purpose:

The purpose of this submission is to update the system with design changes to implants and instruments, update sterile packaging, add new EBM machining, revise the Indications for Use, and add MR Conditional labeling.

Indications for Use:

The Anterior Spine Truss System (STS) Interbody Fusion Device is 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 and must be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).

Device Description:

The device is an open architecture truss design mathematically formulated to provide structural support with open space throughout the implant for bone growth and fusion. The 4WEB additive manufacturing process provides a hierarchical surface roughness. The implant is

made from Ti6Al4V alloy. The device is available in a variety of sizes and lordotic angles to accommodate the patient's anatomy.

Predicate Device(s):

The primary predicate device is the 4WEB ALIF STS (K112316). Additional predicates include K142112, K150135 and K160924.

Performance Standards:

Performance testing has been completed per the following standards: ASTMF2077 - Static and dynamic axial compression, static and dynamic compression shear, and static torsion ASTM F2267-04 - Subsidence Testing ASTM F2119 - MR Image Artifact ASTM F2052 - MR Induced Displacement Force ASTM F2213 – MR Induced Torque ASTM F2182 - MR Induces Heating Expulsion testing per accepted industry standard.

Technological Characteristics:

4Web, Inc. has compared these changes to the previously cleared predicate devices in regards to indications for use, materials, function, sizes and mechanical test results. These comparisons demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

4WEB, Inc. concludes that the Anterior Spine Truss System (STS) devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
