No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical spinal implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No.
The device is an expandable spacer system used for spinal fusion procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states the system is comprised of physical components made from titanium alloy and PEEK Polymer, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System Function: The provided description clearly states that the FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is an implantable device used in spinal fusion procedures. It is a physical device inserted into the body to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion.
- No Mention of Testing Samples: The description does not mention any interaction with biological samples or performing any diagnostic tests.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
FORZA XP Expandable 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).
FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is intended for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation.
Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System.

Device Description
The FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is comprised of an assortment of single use spacers made from titanium alloy and PEEK Polymer with height expansion capability. The implants feature a bulleted nose for ease of insertion and anti-migration ripples on both the inferior and superior surfaces to provide increased stability and help prevent anterior/posterior movement of the device.
The implants are offered in non-lordotic, lordotic, and hyperlordotic configurations to help restore the natural curvature of the spine. The implants can be used in single placement or pairs with typical approaches being transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
The FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is not intended to be used as a stand-alone device and must be used with a supplemental fixation system.

§ 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. 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.

Device Description:
The FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is comprised of an assortment of single use spacers made from titanium alloy and PEEK Polymer with height expansion capability. The implants feature a bulleted nose for ease of insertion and anti-migration ripples on both the inferior and superior surfaces to provide increased stability and help prevent anterior/posterior movement of the device.
The implants are offered in non-lordotic, lordotic, and hyperlordotic configurations to help restore the natural curvature of the spine. The implants can be used in single placement or pairs with typical approaches being transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
The FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is not intended to be used as a stand-alone device and must be used with a supplemental fixation system.
Indications for Use and Intended Use:
FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with deqenerative 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 surqery at the involved level(s).

FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System is intended for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation.
Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System.
Performance Testing Summary:
No new mechanical testing was performed for the FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System because there were no design changes to the device.
The proposed sterile package offering does not change the design, materials, function, performance for the FORZA XP implants most recently cleared thru 510(k) K211704. FORZA XP sterile packaging confiquration use Orthofix standard sterile packaging confiquration recently cleared thru FORZA Ti Spacer System (K211704).
Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed sterile package offering does not change the design, materials, function, performance, indications for use of the device; does not alter the intended use of the implants therefore the subject FORZA XP Expandable sterile packaged devices is substantially equivalent to the FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System (K211704) predicate device
Conclusion:
FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System has the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, the same principles of operation and same design as the predicate device FORZA XP Expandable Spacer System (K211704).
