Intended Use
The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The device systems are designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. One device may be used per intervertebral space. The implants are intended to be used with legally cleared supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C3 to T1, for treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is to be used in patients who have six weeks of non-operative treatment.
Device Description
The Reliance Cervical IBF System is comprised of implants and instrument components. The implant component, the Reliance Cervical IBF device, is a spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior column of the cervical spine. The spacer is made of PEEK Optima LT1 or PEEK Optima LT1-HA with Tantalum markers. The Reliance Cervical IBF System also includes bone screws to secure the device to the vertebral body.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

Yes.
The device is used for intervertebral body fusion of the spine, specifically for the treatment of cervical disc disease, which involves alleviating neck pain of discogenic origin. This indicates a therapeutic purpose to treat a medical condition.

No

The device is an implant and instrument system for intervertebral body fusion, which is a treatment not a diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of implants and instrument components, including a spacer made of PEEK and bone screws. This indicates the presence of physical hardware components, not just software.

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 for spinal fusion. It is used in the body to treat a physical condition (cervical disc disease).
  • Device Description: The device is described as a spacer made of PEEK and bone screws, which are physical components implanted into the spine.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is a therapeutic implant.

§ 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. Berry:

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.
