Intended Use
The TELIX K Interbody System is intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Patients should have six months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via a TLIF approach using autogenous bone. These implants are intended for use with Biedermann Motech supplemental internal fixation products.
Device Description
The TELIX K Interbody System is intended for use as an intercorporal fusion cage in the lumbar region (L2-L5) and sacral region (S1). Therefore, the system includes the following implants: The TELIX K Interbody System is comprised of slightly curved implants in lengths of 28, 32 and 36mm and heights ranging from 7 to 17mm. Devices that are 7mm in thickness are only available with 0-degrees of lordosis and all other implants possess 5-degrees of lordosis. The implants are introduced via a TLIF approach using autogenous bone. The TELIX K Interbody System must only be implanted in combination with supplemental fixation. The implants of the TELIX K Interbody System are single-use only and the system is provided non sterile.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical intervertebral body fusion device and its mechanical testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine for patients with degenerative disc disease, which addresses a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is an intervertebral body fusion device (an implant) and its purpose is to facilitate fusion, not to diagnose a medical condition. While degenerative disc disease confirmed by radiographic studies is part of the indication for use, the device itself is a treatment, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical implants (intervertebral body fusion devices) made of specific lengths, heights, and lordosis, and describes mechanical bench testing. This indicates 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 Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The TELIX K Interbody System is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a medical device used in vivo (within the body), not in vitro (in a test tube or lab setting).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease by implanting a device into the spine.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical bench tests evaluating the physical properties and strength of the implant, not diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Therefore, the TELIX K Interbody System falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Test Summary
The TELIX K Interbody System was evaluated per the FDA Guidance Document for Industry and FDA Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.

The following testing was done to show substantial equivalence of our system:

Bench testing - mechanical
Mechanical testing according to ASTM F2077-14 (Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices) and ASTM F2267-04 standard (Standard Test Method for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Under Static Axial Compression) was performed in order to provide data to support a substantial equivalence determination. These tests were performed to support system related performance under consideration of well-established acceptance criteria. Performance testing included:

  • Static Compression
  • Dynamic Compression
  • Static Torsion
  • Static Compression-Shear ■
  • Dynamic Compression-Shear ■
  • Subsidence

Result: The results of the worst case biomechanical testing of the TELIX K Interbody System indicate that the system is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate/reference devices.

The System is intended to provide intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients, as the predicate is.

8. Performance Data

8.1 Non-Clinical Test Summary

The TELIX K Interbody System was evaluated per the FDA Guidance Document for Industry and FDA Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.

The following testing was done to show substantial equivalence of our system:

Bench testing - mechanical

Mechanical testing according to ASTM F2077-14 (Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices) and ASTM F2267-04 standard (Standard Test Method for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Under Static Axial Compression) was performed in order to provide data to support a substantial equivalence determination. These tests were performed to support system related performance under consideration of well-established acceptance criteria. Performance testing included:

  • Static Compression
  • Dynamic Compression
  • Static Torsion
  • Static Compression-Shear ■
  • Dynamic Compression-Shear ■
  • Subsidence

6

Result: The results of the worst case biomechanical testing of the TELIX K Interbody System indicate that the system is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate/reference devices.

8.2 Clinical Test Summary

No clinical tests were performed.

9. Substantial Equivalence Summary and Conclusion

There are no differences between the devices which would raise new concerns regarding safety or effectiveness.

Based on available 510(k) information provided, comparison to predicate devices and performance testing, the TELIX K Interbody System can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate/reference devices.
