Intended Use
The Nu Vasive® 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 10° 20° lordotic cages may be used as a standalone system. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 25°-30° lordotic cages must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems (e.g., posterior pedicle screw and rod system) that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. The System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. The Nu Vasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is intended for use in interbody fusions in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1, following discectorny in the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD) or degenerative spondylolisthesis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System implants can also be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis; however, when used in these patients at multiple levels and for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis, the 3DP Interfixated ALIF System must be used with a supplemental internal spinal fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw system) cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws.
Device Description
The subject NuVasive 3DP Interfixated System are interbody implants manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) powder conforming to ASTM F3001. The solid and porous structures are simultaneously built using a powder bed fusion method. The hollow core, or graft aperture, allows for packing of graft to aid in the promotion of a solid fusion. Similarly, the macroporous internal lattice structure provides additional space for graft packing. The microporous, textured surface on the superior and inferior ends of the device serves to grip the adjacent vertebrae to resist migration of the device. The implants are available in a variety sizes and lordotic angles to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 10°-20° lordotic cages may be used as a standalone system. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 25° - 30° lordotic cages must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems (e.g. posterior pedicle screw and rod system) that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a spinal implant made of titanium alloy with specific structural features for fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical and material testing, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is clearly indicated for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease or degenerative spondylolisthesis, which are medical conditions that require treatment. It is designed to facilitate fusion and provide support, directly contributing to the patient's physical well-being and recovery.

No

The device is an interbody fusion system designed to be implanted in the lumbar spine to facilitate spinal fusion. Its purpose is mechanical support and to aid bone growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is an interbody implant manufactured from titanium alloy, which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is an implantable device designed for spinal fusion procedures. It is a physical structure made of titanium alloy that is surgically placed in the lumbar spine.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not perform any tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information. Its function is structural support and to facilitate bone fusion.

Therefore, the NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices. The following testing was performed:

  • Static Compression (per ASTM F2077)
  • Dynamic Compression (per ASTM F2077)
  • Static Compression Shear (per ASTM F2077)
  • Dynamic Compression Shear (per ASTM F2077)
  • Static Torsion (per ASTM F2077)
  • Dynamic Torsion (per ASTM F2077)
  • Gravimetric and Particulate analysis (ASTM F1714 and F1877)
  • Subsidence and screw push-out analysis
  • Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011/(R)2016

The results demonstrate that the subject NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System meets the same criteria as the predicate devices, and the subject device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent to the predicates.

E. Indications for Use

The NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 10°-20° lordotic cages may be used as a standalone system. The 3DP Interfixated ALIF System 25°-30° lordotic cages must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems (e.g., posterior pedicle screw and rod system) that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. The System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment.

The NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is intended for use in interbody fusions in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1, following discectomy in the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD) or degenerative spondylolisthesis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

F. Technological Characteristics

As was established in this submission, the subject NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices cleared by the FDA for commercial distribution in the United States. The subject device was shown to be substantially equivalent and have the same technological characteristics to its predicate devices through comparison in areas including design, intended use, material composition, and function. This device does not contain software or electrical equipment.

Performance Data G.

Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject NuVasive 3DP Interfixated ALIF System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices. The following testing was performed:

  • Static Compression (per ASTM F2077) ●
