Intended Use
The Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device is an anterior cervical intervertebral body fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one disc level from C2 to T1. Patients should have received 6 weeks of non-operative treatment with the device. The device is indicated to be used with autograft bone or allograft bone comprised of cancellous bone. The device is a stand-alone system when used with Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device integrated screws and when used without the integrated screws it requires additional supplemental fixation cleared for the cervical spine.
Device Description
The Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device (IBD) implants are available in a variety of sizes with a variety of lordotic angles, to accommodate patient anatomy. Endoskeleton® TCS IBD implants are intended for treatment in Cervical Interbody Fusion used in single placement treatment placed across the disc space, and are designed with a large hollow region in the center to house bone graft material. The superior and inferior surfaces have been acid etched through a previously cleared process called nanoLOCK™ (MMN™) to improve fixation to the adjacent bone. The purpose of this special 510(k) submission is to add a plate to the Endoskeleton® TCS System. The ENDOSKELETON® TCS Plate Device (Plate) is compatible with the ENDOSKELETON® TCS Interbody Fusion Device product family. The design incorporates a locking screw to secure the Interbody Fusion Device and is engaged after the placed on the anterior face of the ENDOSKELETON® TCS Interbody Fusion Device to resist the integrated screws from backing out. The system includes a holding feature on the Plate to mate with the inserter to facilitate placement onto the ENDOSKELETON® TCS Interbody Fusion Device implant. Use of this plate is an enhancement to the existing Endoskeleton® TCS system and, as such, is optional with the Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device and does not qualify as supplemental fixation. The subject plate does not include nanoLOCK® (MMN™) surface treatment, as it does not interface with the bone. The construct is a stand-alone system when used with Endoskeleton® TCS integrated screws and when used without the integrated screws it requires additional supplemental fixation cleared in the cervical spine. All implantable components are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V-EL)) and may be provided either sterile. The subject Endoskeleton® TCS Plate is only provided sterile by gamma irradiation.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical interbody fusion device and a plate, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes.

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate spinal fusion, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is an interbody fusion device, designed to facilitate spinal fusion by providing support and space for bone graft material between vertebrae, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical implants made of titanium alloy, including an interbody fusion device and a plate, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, the Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device used in the body, not a device used to test samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior cervical intervertebral body fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical treatment, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Endoskeleton® TCS Interbody Fusion Device falls under the category of an implantable surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
