No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical implant device made of PEEK, Tantalum, and Titanium alloy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests of the implant's structural integrity.
Yes
The device is a Cervical Interbody Fusion System, which is surgically implanted to aid in spinal fusion for degenerative disc disease, directly treating and alleviating a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is an implantable system designed for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is therapeutic, to facilitate fusion of vertebrae.
No
The device description clearly states the device is an implant made of PEEK, Tantalum, and Titanium alloy, 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 describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is described as an implant made of PEEK and Titanium, designed to be placed in the spine. This is consistent with a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
In summary, the Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System is a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one or two contiguous spinal levels from C3-C7. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s), and may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s).
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion is to be combined with cleared supplemental fixation systems, such as the Altus Cervical Plate System.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Melton:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System implants are available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient.
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System implants are made of PEEK with Tantalum conforming to ASTM F2026 and ASTM F560 and Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) that conforms to ASTM F136.
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System has a hollow chamber to permit packing with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces of the construct have a pattern of teeth to provide increased stability and to help prevent movement of the device.
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one or two contiguous spinal levels from C3-C7. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s), and may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or
4
retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System is to be combined with cleared supplemental fixation systems, such as the Altus Spine Cervical Plate System.
SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The technological characteristics of the Altus Spine Interbody Fusion System is equivalent to the predicate device (K081730). The design is essentially the same fundamental technology with minor dimensional changer that those currently FDA 510(k) approved.
SUMMARY OF NON-CLINAL TESTS SUBMITTED:
Testing in accordance with ASTM F2077-14 and ASTM F2267-04 was preformed and demonstrated that the Altus Spine Interbody Fusion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
8 different tests were conducted, which include static compression, static compression shear, static torsion, subsidence, expulsion, dynamic compression, dynamic compression shear, and dynamic torsion.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION:
The Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System is the predicate (K081730) in regards to indications for use and surgical technique.
Altus Spine has determined that the modification of the Altus Spine Cervical Interbody Fusion System do not alter the system function, strength and stability. Therefore, the Altus Spine Interbody Fusion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
