Intended Use
The IdentiTi™ ALIF Standalone Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of ≤20° are a standalone system. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of >20° must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System is intended for use at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1) for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft.
Device Description
The IdentiTiTM ALIF Standalone (SA) Interbody System is an integrated intervertebral body fusion device implanted from an anterior or anterolateral approach. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System interbody spacers are manufactured from a combination of commercially pure porous titanium (CP Ti Grade 2) per ASTM F67 and titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System interbody spacers are provided in multiple footprints with varying lengths, widths, heights, and angles of lordosis to accommodate individual patient anatomy. All interbody spacers feature an internal graft aperture for placement of graft material to promote fusion through the cage. The interbody spacer includes three screw holes to accept bone screws and bolts that are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136 in varying lengths and diameters.

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical implantable device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
This device is a spinal implant system used for fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which directly addresses a medical condition and aims to improve patient health.

No

Explanation: The IdentiTi™ ALIF Standalone Interbody System is an implantable device used for spinal fusion procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "integrated intervertebral body fusion device" manufactured from titanium and includes interbody spacers, screws, and bolts. This indicates a physical implant, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a physical implant (an intervertebral body fusion device) made of titanium. It is surgically implanted into the lumbar spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device is a medical device used for surgical treatment, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical testing performed on the IdentiTiTM ALIF Standalone Interbody System supports substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The following testing/analysis was performed:

  • ASTM F2077 static & dynamic axial compression, static & dynamic 0 compression-shear
  • ASTM F1877 - particulate analysis
  • ASTM F1714 gravimetric analysis .
  • ASTM F2267 subsidence ●
  • Static push-out ●
  • Screw push-out .

The results demonstrate that the proposed IdentiTi™ ALIF Standalone Interbody System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for nonclinical testing.

The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System interbody spacers are manufactured from a combination of commercially pure porous titanium (CP Ti Grade 2) per ASTM F67 and titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System interbody spacers are provided in multiple footprints with varying lengths, widths, heights, and angles of lordosis to accommodate individual patient anatomy. All interbody spacers feature an internal graft aperture for placement of graft material to promote fusion through the cage. The interbody spacer includes three screw holes to accept bone screws and bolts that are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136 in varying lengths and diameters.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The IdentiTill ALIF Standalone Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of ≤20° are a standalone system. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of >20° must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws.

The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System is intended for use at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1) for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

VI. TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON TO PREDICATES

The technological design features of the subject implants were compared to the predicates in intended use, indications for use, design, function and technology and it was demonstrated that they are substantially equivalent.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

Nonclinical testing performed on the IdentiTiTM ALIF Standalone Interbody System supports substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The following testing/analysis was performed:

  • ASTM F2077 static & dynamic axial compression, static & dynamic 0 compression-shear
  • ASTM F1877 - particulate analysis
  • ASTM F1714 gravimetric analysis .
  • ASTM F2267 subsidence ●
  • Static push-out ●
  • Screw push-out .

The results demonstrate that the proposed IdentiTi™ ALIF Standalone Interbody System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for nonclinical testing.

Clinical Information

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

VIII. CONCLUSION

Based upon the information provided in the 510(k) submission, it has been determined that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices in regard to indications for use, intended use, design, technology, and performance.
