Intended Use
The Atlas Spine Expandable Cervical Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The Atlas Spine Expandable Cervical Interbody System is intended for use for anterior cervical interbody fusion in patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI), that results in radiculopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 - T1. The System is intended to be used with supplemental fixation. The System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.
Device Description
The Atlas Spine Expandable Cervical Interbody System consists of various size and style options to address the clinical and anatomic needs of individual patients. The implant is rectangular in its general shape with the capability to expand in height. The implant incorporates bone graft cavities through the superior and inferior surfaces to allow fusion between adjacent vertebral bodies. The implants incorporate a textured bone contacting surface to resist migration/expulsion of the implant post operatively. Additionally, the implant incorporates an opening posteriorly to allow the addition of bone graft post expansion. The implants components are manufactured from implantable grade Ti6AI4V per ASTM F136 alloy and Peek Optima LT1 delivered in the pre-assembled, unexpanded state.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device and its mechanical properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "Expandable Cervical Interbody System" intended for "intervertebral body fusion of the spine" and used to address "cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability" to alleviate symptoms like "radiculopathy, and/or pain." These applications directly relate to treating a disease or condition, which is characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an implantable interbody fusion system designed to facilitate fusion in patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or spinal instability. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic. While imaging studies are used to confirm the patient's condition, the device itself does not perform diagnostics.

No

The device description clearly states it is an implantable system made of Ti6AI4V and Peek Optima LT1, which are hardware materials. The performance studies also describe bench testing of physical properties.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Atlas Spine Expandable Cervical Interbody System is an implant intended for surgical implantation into the cervical spine to facilitate fusion. It is a physical device that is placed within the body, not a device used to analyze samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing laboratory tests, or providing diagnostic information based on such tests.

Therefore, the Atlas Spine Expandable Cervical Interbody System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
