The description focuses on the material, manufacturing method, and mechanical properties of a spinal implant. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The document describes a system of spinal implants (spacers) used in fusion procedures for degenerative disc disease. This device is not used to diagnose a medical condition but rather to treat it by providing structural support in the spine. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of implants made of titanium alloy, which are physical 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 states that the device is for "spinal fusion procedures" and is implanted in the body. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The device is described as "implants made of titanium alloy" that are "delivered via a posterior, transforaminal, or lateral approach." This confirms it's an implanted medical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or functions of an IVD.
This device is a surgical implant used in spinal fusion surgery.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Choice Spine TiGer Shark™ System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures 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. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should have had six (6) months of non-operative treatment. This device is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. This device is designed for use with supplemental fixation that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

Device Description
The Choice Spine TiGer Shark™ System consists of implants made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Class C). The spacers have a basic rectangular shape, a hollow center for placement of bone graft and a smooth bullet shaped distal surface. They are available in an assortment of height, length and anteroposterior angulation combinations to accommodate many different anatomic requirements. The implants are delivered via a posterior, transforaminal, or lateral approach. The devices are manufactured using the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) additive manufacturing method.

(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 Ms. Finch:
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.

Substantial Equivalence: The implants included in this submission are equivalent to the TranS1 Interbody Fusion System (K120991, primary predicate), and Spineart Intervertebral Fusion Device Juliet PO (K142277), Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System, (K162103), as additional predicates.
Substantial Equivalence
The implants proposed in this submission are identical to the predicate devices Conclusion: in: principle of operation, material, indications for use, biocompatibility, manufacturing and post-processing steps, stabilization method, sterilization method, anatomic location and approach, product code and classification.
The new additive manufacturing method per ASTM F3001, Class C and slight design change introduce a new worst case for design. Mechanical testing was conducted to prove that the new worst-case design is stronger, and after including all other similarities, shown to be equivalent to the predicate devices in safety, effectiveness, and performance.
