No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of a physical implant for spinal fusion, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which involves addressing a medical condition (discogenic pain and degeneration) and restoring function (fusion) within the body.
No
This device is an implantable intervertebral body fusion system designed for treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes physical implants (spacers, plates, screws, anchors) made of titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation. It also details mechanical performance studies (Static Compression, Dynamic Compression, etc.) which are relevant to physical devices, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is described as an implant designed for surgical insertion into the lumbar spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device, not a test or assay performed on a biological sample.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for intervertebral body fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical treatment, not a diagnostic process.
The text clearly describes a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody System 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 L1-L2 to L5-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). EL CAPITAN System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
The EL CAPITAN Spacer and Plate assembly are an integrated interbody fusion device intended for stand-alone use when used with all titanium alloy screws. When anchors, the assembly is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20° lordosis) must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the Lumbar spine.

Device Description
The EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody devices are implants developed for the substitution of the classical autogenous bone graft blocks. The cages assist to avoid complications related to the bone graft donation site (chronic pain, hematoma, infection, bone removal from the donor site making it impossible to remove bone again, quality of the iliac bone, accessing a healthy donor site that may become an unhealthy site, hernias by the incision). The Spacers are a 2-piece modular design which allows for interchangeable plate and spacer components. The plate and spacer components contain interlocking features in addition to a spring-loaded latch mechanism which allows for intraoperative assembly prior to implantation. The spacer components are available in a range of footprints and heights, and the plates are offered in multiple fixation types and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The implants have a hollow center to allow placement of autogenous bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces are open to promote contact of the bone graft with the vertebral end plates, allowing bone growth (arthrodesis)

§ 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. Kelch:
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.

| are equivalent to predicate devices. | |
| Clinical Test Summary | No clinical studies were performed |
| Conclusions: Non-Clinical | |
| and Clinical | Astura Medical considers the EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody |
| System to be equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. This | |
| conclusion is based upon the devices' similarities in principles of | |
| operation, technology, materials and indications for use. |
