Intended Use
CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System: The CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels within the cervical spine (C2-T1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System is intended for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation system (i.e., an anterior cervical plate such as the Orthofix Hallmark Anterior Cervical Plate System). Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System in the cervical spine. FORZA PTC Spacer System: The FORZA PTC Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved levels. The FORZA Spacer System is intended for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation, e.g., the Firebird Spinal Fixation System. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the FORZA PTC Spacer System. PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System: The PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved level(s). The PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System is intended for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System is intended for use with four of the titanium alloy screws provided with the system. If the physician chooses to use fewer than four of the provided screws then supplemental fixation must be used to augment stability. As an example, a supplemental fixation system that may be used is the Orthofix Firebird® Spinal Fixation System. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System.

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical spinal implant and its intended use, materials, and performance studies related to cellular activity. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "Spacer System" intended for "spinal fusion procedures" to "facilitate vertebral fusion by stabilizing adjacent vertebrae, maintaining disc height, and preventing the collapsing of one vertebrate onto another," which directly contributes to the treatment of a medical condition (degenerative disc disease).

No

The devices described are intervertebral body implants (spacers) intended for spinal fusion procedures. They are designed to stabilize vertebrae, maintain disc height, and facilitate fusion through physical support and material properties, rather than for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is comprised of physical implants made of PEEK and Titanium alloy, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, these devices are not In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The descriptions clearly state that these devices are implants designed to be surgically placed within the spine to facilitate fusion. They are not used to test blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids outside of the body.
  • The intended use is for spinal fusion procedures. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • The device descriptions detail the materials and physical structure of the implants. This is consistent with a medical device intended for implantation, not a reagent or instrument used for in vitro testing.

The information provided describes medical devices used for surgical treatment, not for diagnosing conditions by testing samples.

Dear Natalia Volosen:

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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

Performance Testing Summary:

No new mechanical testing was performed for the CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System, FORZA PTC Spacer System, PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System because there were no design changes to the device.

PTC nano-surface descriptors are supported by surface characterization and in vitro cellular studies using HMSCs and normal human osteoblasts (NHOst) cells. The in vitro study results demonstrated that the PTC modified surface experienced an increased

7

proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity (an early osteogenic differentiation marker) in human stem cells compared to the other surfaces.

Substantial Equivalence:

The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate, the Orthofix PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System (K172437), and the additional reference devices, with respect to indications, design, materials, function, and performance.

Conclusion:

CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System, FORZA PTC Spacer System, PILLAR SA PTC Spacer System have the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, the same principles of operation and same design as the predicate device CONSTRUX Mini PTC Spacer System, FORZA PTC Spacer System, and PILLAR SA PTC (K172437).
