Intended Use
The TiWAVE-L™ Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). TiWAVE-L Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft implanted via a transforaminal approach or an open posterior approach. The TiWAVE-L Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage implants are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device
Device Description
The TiWAVE-L Porous Titanium Lumbar Cages are lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices made from additive manufactured (AM) Titanium Grade 23 per ASTM F3001. The implants are available in various heights and lengths to accommodate patients' anatomy. The implants are provided sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implant (lumbar cage) made from titanium, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are focused on mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, and it is implanted to provide structural support aiding in fusion and pain relief.

No

Explanation: The TiWAVE-L™ Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage is described as an intervertebral body fusion device used for surgical treatment of degenerative disc disease, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "lumbar intervertebral body fusion device made from additive manufactured (AM) Titanium Grade 23". This is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a lumbar cage for intervertebral body fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support and promote bone fusion.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a physical implant made from titanium, designed to be placed between vertebrae.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such function.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following tests were independently performed on the TiWAVE-L Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage to demonstrate substantial equivalence based on current industry standards:

Static and dynamic axial compression (per ASTM F2077)
Static torsion (per ASTM F2077)
Static and dynamic compression shear (per ASTM F2077)
Subsidence (per ASTM F2267)
Static Expulsion (per ASTM draft standard F04.25.02.02)
Bacterial Endotoxin (BET)
The results of these evaluations indicate that the TiWAVE-L Porous Titanium Lumbar Cage is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
No clinical studies were performed.

§ 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. Webb:

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 mav, 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 avare 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
