Intended Use
The nvª, nvª, and nv are intended for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1 of the lumbosacral spine. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage. DDD patients may also have Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at involved levels. The device systems must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and are implanted via an anterior, posterior, or transforaminal approach. Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20° lordosis) must be used with at least anterior supplemental fixation or anterior buttress plate with posterior supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The nv4, nvP, and nvb are intervertebral body fusion devices used in the lumbar spine following discectomy. All devices are manufactured from PEEK Optima LT1 per ASTM F2026 or PEEK Optima HA Enhanced and include tantalum markers per ASTM F560 for radiographic visualization. The devices have multiple footprints to adapt to the general shape of the vertebral endplates and have a hollow center to accommodate bone graft. The devices are implanted via a variety of approaches including anterior, posterior, or transforaminal. Each footprint is available in multiple heights to accommodate patient variability and there are anti-migration features on the superior and inferior surfaces designed to improve fixation, stability, and prevent back out and migration.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of an intervertebral body fusion device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used to facilitate fusion, not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: This device is an intervertebral body fusion device, meaning it is designed to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate fusion, not diagnose it. Its use is based on pre-confirmed diagnoses through history and radiographic studies.

No

The device description explicitly states the devices are manufactured from PEEK and include tantalum markers, indicating they are physical implants, not software.

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 for spinal fusion. It is used in the body to facilitate a physical process (fusion), not to diagnose a condition by testing samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK with tantalum markers. This is consistent with a medical device for implantation, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and equivalence to predicate devices, which are relevant for surgical implants, not diagnostic accuracy.

In summary, the device is a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Brittan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The nv4, nvP, and nvb are intervertebral body fusion devices used in the lumbar spine following discectomy. All devices are manufactured from PEEK Optima LT1 per ASTM F2026 or PEEK Optima HA Enhanced and include tantalum markers per ASTM F560 for radiographic visualization.

The devices have multiple footprints to adapt to the general shape of the vertebral endplates and have a hollow center to accommodate bone graft. The devices are implanted via a variety of approaches including anterior, posterior, or transforaminal. Each footprint is available in multiple heights to accommodate patient variability and there are anti-migration features on the superior and inferior surfaces designed to improve fixation, stability, and prevent back out and migration.

PREDICATE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION

The subject nv2, nv8, and nv system is substantially equivalent to the following predicates:

510(k) NumberPredicate Device Name / ManufacturerPrimary Predicate
K162426Nvision Biomedical's nva, nvp, and nvt system
K142594Nvision Biomedical's nva, nvp, and nvt system
K170855Siats LLC's T-Rex Standalone ALIF
K180502Renovis Surgical Technologies, Inc's S128 ALIF System

The following reference devices are also cited in this submission:

  • Nvision Biomedical's Vector Hammertoe Correction System (K183055) ●
  • Omnia Medical, LLC's Omnia Medical VBR (K172323) .

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING

No FDA performance standards have been established for the nv4, nv7, and nv1. The following was performed to demonstrate safety per methods of the previous submission:

  • . Engineering analysis comparison of mechanical performance in compression/ compression shear, subsidence, and expulsion (reference ASTM F2077 and F2267).
    The results of the engineering analysis indicate that the nv3, nvP and nv system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

EQUIVALENCE TO PREDICATE DEVICES

Nvision believes that the nv2, nv2 and nv modifications are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The subject implants maintain the same features as the previously cleared devices but add a wider range of footprint size and lordotic angle options. The subject implants will continue to be manufactured from PEEK Optima LT1 but also add the option of PEEK Optima HA Enhanced. In addition, minor size/positioning adjustments to the nvª implant mate holes further enhance surgeon ease of use following the same surgical technique. These modifications do not change the intended use or performance of the device and do not raise additional questions of substantial equivalence. These technological characteristics have undergone engineering analysis to ensure the device is as safe and effective as the predicates.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Nvision Biomedical Technologies. The logo has a stylized "N" with a series of short, parallel lines to the left of the "N". The word "VISION" is next to the "N" in all caps. Below the logo is the text "biomedical technologies" in a smaller font.

CONCLUSION

Based on the engineering analysis of device characteristics, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed nv3, nv7 and nv1 options are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
