Intended Use
The Reef TH System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous nonfusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. The device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The SeaSpine Reef TH System is an intervertebral fusion device with large central graft windows which are packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft, composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone prior to implantation. The implant is manufactured from PEEK (ASTM F2026) with tantalum (ASTM F560) and titanium alloy (ASTM F136) radiographic markers. The implants have a one-micron thick surface coat of commercially pure (CP) titanium (ASTM F67) and are sterile-packed. The instruments included with the system facilitate the placement and adjustment of the interbody spacer, and removal if necessary. The instruments are placed in system-specific trays for storage, protection, and organization prior to and during the steam sterilization process.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical intervertebral fusion device and its mechanical testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as an intervertebral fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease, which clearly indicates its purpose in treating a medical condition.

No

The device is an intervertebral fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures, meaning it is used for treatment (fusion) rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is an intervertebral fusion device manufactured from PEEK with tantalum and titanium alloy radiographic markers, and includes instruments for placement. This indicates a physical implant and associated hardware, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Reef TH System is for spinal fusion procedures. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an intervertebral fusion device made of PEEK, tantalum, and titanium alloy. This is a physical implant used to facilitate bone fusion, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties (compression, shear, subsidence, wear) and sterilization, which are relevant to a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.

In summary, the Reef TH System is a surgical implant used in spinal fusion procedures, not a device intended for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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)

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Reef TH System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous nonfusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. The device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and supplemental fixation.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

The SeaSpine Reef TH System is identical or similar to the cited predicate devices in regard to components, device description, intended use/indications for use, technological characteristics (operating principle, design, materials, manufacturing, etc.) and performance (mechanical safety).

The implants are used to treat the same conditions, have essentially the same precautions and contraindications for use, and represent a basic design concept in terms of safety and effectiveness, and differ only in design details and not functionality.

Non-Clinical Testing

Mechanical performance in compression and compression-shear (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), and wear testing (ASTM F1877) was performed for the Reef TH System. An engineering analysis of expulsion, packaging, shipping and sterilization tests was also conducted to validate a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 and ensure maintenance of a sterile barrier. Bacterial Endotoxin testing (BET) was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.

No additional coating characterization testing was conducted in this submission due to coating being identical to the predicate.

Clinical Testing

Not applicable; determination of substantial equivalence is not based on an assessment of clinical performance data.

Conclusions

The submitted data demonstrates that the SeaSpine Reef TH System is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safely and effectively as the cited legally marketed predicate.
