Intended Use
The EVOL® ha – D Lateral Interbody Fusion System is intended for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. EVOL® ha - D Lateral Interbody Fusion System is indicated for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1) for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The EVOL® ha - D Lateral Interbody Fusion System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion and supplemental fixation system cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbosacral spine. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment.
Device Description
The EVOL® ha -D Lateral Interbody Fusion System is designed for use as a lumbar interbody fusion device and consists of various sizes to accommodate individual patient anatomy. The sizes vary by footprint (width and depth), height, and lordotic angle. All sizes have two central windows for bone graft. The inferior and superior faces have teeth to resist migration when placed in between the vertebral bodies. Each spacer has tantalum beads, per ASTM F560, imbedded in the device to aid visualization under fluoroscopy. The implants are manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT120 HA (Invibio) per ASTM F2026.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The testing described is mechanical and biomechanical, not related to software performance.

No
This device is an implant for spinal fusion and is not described as providing therapy directly. Its purpose is to facilitate fusion and provide stabilization.

No

The device is an interbody fusion system designed for surgical implantation in the spine to facilitate fusion. Its function is to provide structural support and promote bone growth, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT120 HA with tantalum beads, designed for surgical implantation. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The EVOL® ha – D Lateral Interbody Fusion System is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device used within the body, not to test samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intervertebral body fusion of the spine" and "treatment of degenerative disc disease." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the implant (material, size, features) and its purpose in supporting the spine.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing (compression, shear, expulsion, subsidence) to ensure the device's structural integrity and function within the body.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.
