Intended Use
The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is designed to be used with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or coricocancellous bone graft, and a supplemental spinal fixation system that is cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is used to provide structural stability and maintain disc space distraction in skeletally mature adults requiring intervertebral body fusion. The devices are designed to be used in conjunction with supplemental spinal fixation instrumentation. The subject devices are multiple component systems comprised of single-use implants designed to treat the lumbar spine. The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System lumbar implants are fabricated from PEEK (ASTM F2026) with Tantalum (ASTM F560) x-ray markers. The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System implants are available in a range of sizes and shapes, and are designed to accommodate variations in surgical approach and patient anatomy. Each cage has a hollow center to allow placement of autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Ridges on the superior and inferior surfaces of the device help to grip the endplates and prevent expulsion.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical interbody fusion system made of PEEK and Tantalum, used for spinal fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the physical device.

Yes.
The device is indicated for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis, which are conditions that cause pain and functional impairment, with the goal of restoring structural stability and maintaining disc space. These are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating a disease or condition.

No

The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is an implantable device used to provide structural stability and maintain disc space distraction during spinal fusion procedures. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of "multiple component systems comprised of single-use implants" fabricated from PEEK and Tantalum, which are physical materials, not software. The performance studies also describe testing of physical devices (static compression, torsion, etc.).

Based on the provided text, 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 procedures. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a physical implant made of PEEK and Tantalum, designed to provide structural stability in the spine. This is consistent with a medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The TranS1 Interbody Fusion System is a surgical implant used to treat a condition, not a device used to diagnose or monitor a condition through in vitro analysis.

§ 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.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices as well as other similar devices cleared by FDA for commercial distribution in the United States. The Subject Device was shown to have the same technological characteristics as its predicate devices through comparison of characteristics including design, intended use, material composition, performance specifications and function. Both the subject and predicate lumbar devices are interbody devices designed to contain graft material and facilitate fusion between two vertebral bodies in the lumbar region of the spine.

Summary of Performance Testing:

The worst-case device was tested in static compression, static torsion, static shear compression and dynamic compression (ASTM F2077), Subsidence (ASTM F2267) and Expulsion. An engineering analysis was presented to characterize all configurations of the Subject Device to confirm the worst-case device.

Conclusion:

Based on the comparison to predicate device, the Subject Device has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
