The summary describes a patient-specific implant designed based on CT scans, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design process or for any other function of the device. The "personalized" aspect appears to be based on direct measurement and design from the CT data, not through an AI/ML algorithm.
Yes
The device is intended for interbody fusion in the lumbar spine to treat severe symptomatic adult spinal deformity (ASD) conditions, and it is designed to stabilize the spinal column and facilitate fusion, which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device is described as an interbody fusion device intended for use in spinal fusion surgery, designed to stabilize the spine and facilitate fusion. While CT scans are used for patient-specific planning, the device itself is an implant for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the aprevo™ devices are additively manufactured from Titanium Alloy and are intended for surgical implantation, indicating a physical hardware component. The performance studies also focus on mechanical testing of the physical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The aprevo™ device is an implantable medical device (an interbody fusion device) designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device used in the body, not a test performed on a sample from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for interbody fusion in the lumbar spine, used with supplemental fixation. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description details the material, manufacturing process, and purpose of the implant itself.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and surgical usability of the implant, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
The fact that the device uses CT scans for planning and design does not make it an IVD. The CT scans are used to create a patient-specific implant, not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The aprevo™ anterior lumbar interbody fusion and aprevo™ lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices are intended for interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients and are to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The aprevo™ anterior lumbar interbody fusion and aprevo™ lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices are indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion at one or more levels of the lumbar spine in patients having an ODI >40 and diagnosed with severe symptomatic adult spinal deformity (ASD) conditions. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The devices are intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft. These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive approaches. These approaches may include anterior lumbar interbody fusion or lateral lumbar interbody fusion.

Device Description
The aprevo™ ALIF and LLIF devices are designed to stabilize the lumbar spinal column and facilitate fusion. The personalized aprevo™ devices incorporate patient specific features to allow the surgeon to tailor the deformity correction to the individual needs of the patient. The individualized surgical correction plan and device configurations are developed using patient CT scans. Aprevo™ devices are additively manufactured and made from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) per ASTM F3001, and have a cavity intended for the packing of bone graft.

§ 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)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear Ms. May:
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.
