The summary describes a physical implantable device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) and facilitates fusion, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is an implantable spacer system used for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is treatment, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states the device is comprised of titanium alloy and is manufactured using an additive manufacturing method, indicating it is a physical implant, 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 states that the device is a surgical implant for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device made of titanium alloy, designed to be implanted in the spine.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System does not involve any of these activities.
Therefore, the Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System is a medical device (specifically, a surgical implant), but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

| Purpose of | |
| Submission | The purpose of this submission is to gain clearance for adding an additional titanium |
| implant footprint in 18x15mm size and instruments to the ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark™ | |
| Cervical Spacer System. This device has been previously submitted as ChoiceSpine | |
| Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System, (K183397) and has undergone additional technical | |
| upgrades per ChoiceSpine design control including porous titanium regions and a | |
| slight change in profile within the scope of K183397. It has since been trade marked | |
| as Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System. | |
| Device Description | The ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System consists of intervertebral body |
| fusion devices comprised of titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Class C). | |

studies. The Tiger Shark™ Cervical Spacer System is to be used with supplemental fixation and with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The implants are made from either titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Class Materials C). Implants will be provided sterile. Instruments will be provided non-sterile but will be steam sterilized before use. The instrumentation is made from 455/465 SS per ASTM A564, 17-4 SS per ASTM F899 and 6061 T6 Aluminum per ASTM B209/B221. Predicate Device Primary predicate: Genesys Spine Apache Cervical Interbody Fusion System (K150812) Additional Predicate: ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System (K183397) The implants proposed in this submission are similar to the predicate devices in Substantial Equivalence principle of operation, indications for use, stabilization method, anatomic location and Conclusion approach, product code and classification, and biocompatibility. The indications for use were compared; the differences include the primary predicate is cleared for use with autograft while the subject device and additional predicate are intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft. The addition of the allogenic bone graft material does not alter the device intended use. The additional footprint spacer is within the size range of the primary predicate, Genesys Spine Apache Cervical Interbody Fusion System (K150812). The larger footprint does not make a new worse case when compared to the worse case cleared in the additional predicate, ChoiceSpine Tiger Shark Cervical Spacer System (K183397). The subject device and additional predicate are both provided sterile while the primary predicate is provided non-sterile. ChoiceSpine's sterilization process has been validated through gamma validation and distribution testing and the results demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met. The minimum radiation dose of 25kGy was sufficient to meet a sterilization assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 and the package system remained intact while also maintaining the hermetic barrier.
