The summary describes a physical implant and its mechanical properties, with no mention of AI or ML in its design, function, or testing.
Yes.
The device is an interbody fusion device intended to treat Degenerative Disc Disease, confirming its objective to alleviate or cure a medical condition.
No
The device is an interbody fusion device designed for structural support and bone growth/fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made from Ti6Al4V alloy, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Lateral Spine Truss System (LSTS) Interbody Fusion Device is an implantable device used in spinal surgery to provide structural support and promote bone growth for fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease. It is a physical implant, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
The information clearly describes a surgical implant used directly within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Lateral Spine Truss System (LSTS) Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. All LSTS Interbody Fusion Devices must be used with supplemental fixation and must be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Interbodies with 18° lordosis or greater must be used with the 4WEB Lumbar Spine Truss System Plating Solution (LSTS-PS) with integrated fixation. If using the 1-hole 4WEB LSTS-PS with integrated fixation, additional supplemental fixation is required (e.g. posterior fixation). These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Validated finite element analysis demonstrated that the product line extension for the Lateral Spine Truss System (LSTS) Interbody Fusion Device does not introduce a new worst-case compared to the previously cleared 4WEB Lumbar Interbody Fusion Devices for mechanical properties of the device.
Performance testing has been completed per the following standards for the combined Lateral Spine Truss System (LSTS) Interbody Fusion Device and the Lumbar Spine Truss System Plating Solution (LSTS-PS):
- Axial screw pushout per ASTM F543
- Static axial compression per ASTM F2077
- Static compression shear per ASTM F2077
- Dynamic axial compression fatigue per ASTM F2077
- o Dynamic compression shear fatigue per ASTM F2077
- Expulsion testing
- 0 MR Conditional testing
The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the LSTS Interbody Fusion Device and LSTS Plating Solution is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

(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.

Dear Dr. Jansen:
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.

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the LSTS Interbody Fusion Device and LSTS Plating Solution is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics:
4WEB, Inc. has compared these devices to the previously cleared predicate devices in regard to indications for use, materials, function, sizes and simulated testing. These comparisons demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Conclusion:
4WEB, Inc. concludes that the LSTS Interbody Fusion Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
