The summary describes a physical implantable device and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is an implantable device used for intervertebral body fusion in the lumbar spine, specifically indicated for treatment of degenerative disc disease. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK, titanium alloy, and tantalum, intended for surgical implantation. It also mentions associated stainless steel instruments. This is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Velofix™ TLIF Cage is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Velofix™ TLIF Cage Function: The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a structural device used in treatment, not a device used to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis by promoting intervertebral body fusion.
- Device Description: The description details the materials and components of a physical implant designed for surgical insertion.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of the implant (compression, shear, subsidence), which are relevant to its function as a surgical device, not an IVD.
Therefore, the Velofix™ TLIF Cage falls under the category of a surgical implant or spinal fusion device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation. Additionally, the Velofix™ TLIF Cage is to be used with autogenous bone graft material.

Device Description
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage consists of implants available in various heights, width, length and angle with an open architecture to accept packing of auto bone graft material. The device is consisted of cage body, articulating component and radiographic markers. The articulating component is for attachment to the inserter instrument to allow the cage to pivot to the final positioning.
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage may be implanted a single device via a transforaminal approach and adopted to the anterior anatomy of the vertebral endplates.
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is constructed of medical grade Polyetheretherketone (PEEK for ASTM F2026) with a titanium alloy for articulating component (Ti6Al4V ELI for ASTM F136), and tantalum radiographic markers for spinal applications(Tantalum for ASTM F560). The Velofix™ TLIF Cage is implanted by using the instruments manufactured from stainless steel materials that conform to ASTM F899.

Summary of Performance Studies
The Velofix™ TLIF Cage was tested in a non clinical setting (bench testing). All tests met all acceptance criteria and that verifies performance of the Velofix™ TLIF Cage is substantially equivalent to predicate devices. The acceptance criteria for performance testing were developed using the data of the primary predicate, Velofix 10 Interbody Fusion System (K132926, K140864).
The following tests were performed:
- (1) Static compression test according to ASTM F2077
- (2) Dynamic compression test according to ASTM F2077
- (3) Static compression-shear test according to ASTM F2077
- (4) Dynamic compression-shear test according to ASTM F2077
- (5) Subsidence test according to ASTM F2267
Additionally, the finite element analysis was performed to aid in the selection of the worst case implants.
