Intended Use
The NEST-C Interbody System is indicated for use in cervical interbody fusion procedures with autogenous bone graff and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or multiple contiguous levels from the C2 to T1 disc. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients should be skeletally mature and have six weeks of non-operative treatment. The NEST-C Interbody System is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine.
Device Description
The NEST-C Interbody System is intervertebral body fusion device with solid and porous structures that both are simultaneously built using additive manufacturing method, from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) powder per ASTM F3001. Offered in a number of footprints heights and lordotic angles to adapt to a variety of patient anatomies. The implant consists of a hollow window for bone graft packing and serrations on the superior/inferior surfaces of the cage for enhanced fixation. The internal porous structure provides additional space for bone graft packing. NEST-C cage is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics, materials, and mechanical testing of a spinal implant. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device used in surgical procedures to stabilize the cervical spine and promote bone fusion, which is a structural implant rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats disease symptoms.

No

Explanation: The NEST-C Interbody System is an implantable device used for spinal fusion procedures. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one, as it is designed to treat degenerative disc disease by promoting intervertebral fusion, rather than identifying or characterizing a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is an intervertebral body fusion device made from titanium alloy using additive manufacturing, which is a physical implant, not software.

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.
  • NEST-C Interbody System Function: The NEST-C Interbody System is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating degenerative disc disease, not a laboratory test.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical structure and materials of an implant, not a testing kit or instrument.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used for treatment, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

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

The worst case devices were subjected to mechanical testing. Testing included static compression, static compression shear, static torsion, dynamic compression, dynamic torsion, and subsidence per ASTM F2077-22 and F2267-04.
NEST-C Interbody System is the same as the predicate device NEST Interbody System in formulation, manufacturing processing, sterilization, and geometry. According to biocompatibility evaluation, current submission met the biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993-1 and is safe for clinical use. These results demonstrate that the devices are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.

§ 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.
