The 510(k) summary describes a passive implant (interbody fusion device) made of PEEK with a porous architecture. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is an implantable system designed for intervertebral body fusion of the spine, specifically treating symptomatic disc degeneration or degenerative spondylolisthesis, which aims to alleviate medical conditions.
No
This device is an implantable interbody fusion system designed for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is used in treatment.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system comprises sterile, single-use implant grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) devices, which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "intervertebral body fusion of the spine" and is an "implant grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) device" designed for "supplemental stabilization of the thoracolumbar spinal column." This describes a surgical implant used directly in the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK with a porous architecture and radiolucent markers. This is consistent with a medical device intended for implantation, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is a therapeutic implant used in a surgical procedure.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NuVasive Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The 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 internal spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracolumbar spine. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment.
The NuVasive Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System is intended for use in interbody fusions in the thoracic spine from T1 to T12, at the thoracolumbar junction (T12-L1), and in the lumbar spine from L1 to S1 for the treatment of symptomatic disc degeneration (DDD) or degenerative spondylolisthesis at one or two adjacent levels, including thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The NuVasive Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis.

Device Description
The NuVasive Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System comprises of sterile, single use implant grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) devices, available in varied footprints and heights, designed for supplemental stabilization of the thoracolumbar spinal column in thoracolumbar intervertebral body fusion procedures.
Each device within the Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System is comprised of a continuous body of PEEK formed into the final product shape with a porous architecture on select faces of the implant. In addition to PEEK, the device assembly may contain two or more radiolucent markers, depending on footprint, to enable visibility under x-ray in vivo.
The implants are available in a variety sizes and lordotic angles to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices. Engineering rationale and the following testing was performed:
- Static and Dynamic Axial Compression (per ASTM F2077)
- Static and Dynamic Compression Shear (per ASTM F2077) .
- . Compressive and Compressive-Shear Wear Particulate Analysis (ASTM F1877)
- Subsidence (per ASTM F2267)
The results demonstrate that the subject Cohere Thoracolumbar Interbody System meets the same criteria as the predicate devices, and the subject device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate. No clinical studies were conducted.
