Intended Use
Lumbar System Indications The Tyber Medical PT Interbody System is indicated for use as intervertebral body fusion devices 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 either a posterior, transforaminal, lateral or anterior approach using autogenous bone. When used as interbody fusion devices these implants are intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the thoracolumbar spine. Cervical System Indications The Tyber Medical PT Interbody System is indicated for use as an 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 level of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms. Patients should have six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. Cervical implants are used to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine (C2-T1) and are placed via an anterior approach using autogenous bone. When used as an interbody fusion device, supplemental fixation must be used.
Device Description
This submission is to add additional shape configurations, with an optional optimized coating process, to the previously cleared interbody system. This submission does not include any new instruments. However, part of the changes to implants, were made to interface with instruments that were cleared with previous submissions. The Tyber Medical PT Interbody System, manufactured from PEEK-Optima®, consist of implants available in various foot prints, heights, and lordotic configurations with an open architecture to accept packing of bone graft materials. The exterior of the device has "teeth" or other generally sharp engagement members on the superior and inferior surfaces to help prevent the device from migrating once it is surgically positioned. The device comes in PEEK with a plasma-sprayed commercially pure titanium coating.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the interbody fusion device, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes.

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease to facilitate fusion in the lumbar and cervical spine, which directly treats a medical condition.

No
The device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device used to facilitate fusion in the spine, not to offer diagnostic information. It is a surgical implant.

No

The device description clearly states it is an implantable interbody system made of PEEK-Optima® with an optional titanium coating, which are physical hardware components. The submission is for adding shapes and coatings to this hardware.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Tyber Medical PT Interbody System is an implantable device made of PEEK-Optima® with an optional titanium coating. It is designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat degenerative disc disease by providing structural support and promoting bone fusion in the lumbar and cervical spine. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.

| Performance Data
(Clinical) | Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this device. |
| Statement of
Technological
Comparison | The Tyber Medical PT Interbody System and its predicate devices have the same indications for use, same design, are made of identical materials, identical application, and have the same anatomic mechanical properties. |
| Conclusion | The new Tyber Medical PT Interbody System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device because the material, tooth profile, worst case construct, smallest cross sectional and manufacturing process are all unchanged.

The addition of the new interbody device does not add a new worst-case device for mechanical testing purposes, as demonstrated by mechanical test results. Given the above, Tyber Medical PT Interbody System is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. |
