Intended Use
The NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices are indicated for use in the cervical spine (C2-T1) and thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) in skeletally mature patients to replace a diseased, collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor, osteomyelitis, trauma (i.e. fracture), or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues in degenerative disorders. The NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices are also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. The NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices are intended for use with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/ or corticocancellous bone graft, as an adjunct to fusion and with FDA-cleared supplemental internal fixation.
Device Description
The NEXXT MATRIXX® System is a collection of additively manufactured spacers for cervical, lumbar/lumbosacral and thoracolumbar implantation. The basic shape of these implants is a structural column to provide surgical stabilization of the spine. Each device comprises an external structural frame having a roughened surface (~7μm). The intervening geometric lattices have pores 300-700µm. The inferior/superior aspects of the NEXXT MATRIXX® open devices incorporate a large vertical cavity which can be packed with bone graft material. The inferior/superior aspects of the NEXXT MATRIXX® solid devices are closed and do not permit the packing of bone graft within the implant. The solid devices are only to be used for partial vertebral body replacement. The open and solid devices are available in an assortment of height, length, width and lordotic angulation combinations to accommodate the individual anatomic and clinical circumstances of each patient.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant device and its mechanical properties, with no mention of AI or ML in its design, function, or intended use.

Yes
The device is described as replacing diseased, collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral bodies and restoring the integrity of the spinal column, which indicates it is used for treatment.

No
The device is described as a corpectomy device, which is an implant used to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body. Its function is to provide structural support and stabilization to the spine, rather than to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a collection of "additively manufactured spacers" and describes their physical characteristics and intended use as implants, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to replace or reconstruct vertebral bodies in the spine. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a collection of additively manufactured spacers for spinal implantation. This aligns with a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing (compression, torsion, subsidence, expulsion), which are relevant to the structural integrity and function of a surgical implant, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices do not fit this description.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Product Codes:Spinal vertebral body replacement device - Cervical, 888.3060, PLR
Spinal vertebral body replacement device, 888.3060, MQP
Submission Purpose:The subject 510(k) adds a vertebral body replacement (corpectomy) device
to the NEXXT MATRIXX® System.
Device Description:The NEXXT MATRIXX® System is a collection of additively manufactured
spacers for cervical, lumbar/lumbosacral and thoracolumbar implantation.
The basic shape of these implants is a structural column to provide surgical
stabilization of the spine. Each device comprises an external structural
frame having a roughened surface (~7μm). The intervening geometric
lattices have pores 300-700µm.
The inferior/superior aspects of the NEXXT MATRIXX® open devices
incorporate a large vertical cavity which can be packed with bone graft
material. The inferior/superior aspects of the NEXXT MATRIXX® solid
devices are closed and do not permit the packing of bone graft within the
implant. The solid devices are only to be used for partial vertebral body
replacement. The open and solid devices are available in an assortment of
height, length, width and lordotic angulation combinations to accommodate
the individual anatomic and clinical circumstances of each patient.
Indications for Use:The NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices are indicated for use in the
cervical spine (C2-T1) and thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) in skeletally mature
patients to replace a diseased, collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral
body due to tumor, osteomyelitis, trauma (i.e. fracture), or for reconstruction
following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal
cord and neural tissues in degenerative disorders. The NEXXT MATRIXX®
corpectomy devices are also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal
column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients
with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar
spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit
achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. The
NEXXT MATRIXX® corpectomy devices are intended for use with autograft
or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous
bone graft, as an adjunct to fusion and with FDA-cleared supplemental
internal fixation.
Materials:NEXXT MATRIXX® implants are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium
alloy (ASTM F3001).
Primary Predicate:NEXXT MATRIXX® System (Nexxt Spine, LLC – K171140)
Additional Predicate:Honour System (Nexxt Spine, LLC – K120345), Capri® Corpectomy Cage
System (K2M Inc. – K180665)
Performance Data:The modified corpectomy device was evaluated via mechanical testing
including included static and dynamic compression and static and dynamic
torsion (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267) and expulsion. The
results demonstrated the performance of the modified corpectomy is
substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Technological
Characteristics:The modified NEXXT MATRIXX® System corpectomy possesses the same
technological characteristics as one or more of the predicate devices. These
include:
performance (as described above), basic design (additively manufactured structural interbody), material (titanium alloy) and size (dimensions are comparable to those offered by the cleared devices). Therefore the fundamental scientific technology of the modified NEXXT
MATRIXX® System corpectomy is the same as previously cleared devices.
Conclusion:The modified NEXXT MATRIXX® System corpectomy possesses the same
intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices.
Therefore the modified NEXXT MATRIXX® System corpectomy is
substantially equivalent for its intended use.
