Intended Use
The NEST Interbody System is indicated for interbody fusion with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of non-operative treatment. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The NEST Interbody System is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Description
The NEST Interbody System is an intervertebral body fusion cage which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow, rectangular implant consists of both solid and porous structures and serrations on the superior and inferior porous surfaces are for enhanced fixation. The implant is designed to be used with supplemental fixation with cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine. The implant is offered in a variety of sizes to accommodate a variety of patients' anatomy. NEST is additively manufactured from Ti6Al4V alloy (ASTM F3001) and is provided sterile.

The summary describes a physical interbody fusion cage and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The NEST Interbody System is an implant designed for intervertebral body fusion, providing support during surgery rather than treating or preventing a disease.

No

The NEST Interbody System is an implantable medical device designed for surgical intervention in spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "intervertebral body fusion cage" which is a physical implant made of Ti6Al4V alloy. The performance studies also describe mechanical testing of this physical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • NEST Interbody System Function: The NEST Interbody System is a surgical implant designed to be placed between vertebrae during spinal fusion surgery. It provides structural support and promotes bone growth.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the NEST Interbody System does not involve the analysis of any specimens taken from the human body. Its function is purely mechanical and biological (promoting fusion) within the body.

The device description clearly indicates it is a surgical implant used in the body, not a device used to test samples from the body.

§ 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. Lin:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
