Intended Use
GS Medical's Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radios. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage is to be combined with internal supplemental fixation cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of the disc. The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices consist of implants in various heights, footprints, and lordotic configurations with architecture designed to accept pre and post packing of bone graft material. The intervertebral body devices are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI). The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices are not radio lucent but have large windows through the sides that will allow visualization of the placement and subsequent bone fusion. The Expandable PLIF Cage (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage) are designed for segments L2 to S1.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for treating degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No

This device is an implantable medical device (expandable PLIF cage) used for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is to restore intervertebral space height and facilitate bone fusion after disc resection.

No

The device description clearly states the device is an implant made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component.

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 taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF System is an implantable device used in surgery to restore the height of the intervertebral space in the lumbar spine. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Input: The input mentioned is "radios" (radiographs), which are imaging modalities used to visualize the spine, not biological samples for testing.

Therefore, the Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF System falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of the disc. The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices consist of implants in various heights, footprints, and lordotic configurations with architecture designed to accept pre and post packing of bone graft material. The intervertebral body devices are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI). The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage devices are not radio lucent but have large windows through the sides that will allow visualization of the placement and subsequent bone fusion. The Expandable PLIF Cage (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage) are designed for segments L2 to S1.

V. INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE

GS Medical's Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage is to be combined with internal supplemental fixation cleared for use in the lumbar spine.

The intented use of the subject device and the predicates are identical.

VI. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The subject device cages are provided in rectangular shape and have space to hold bone graft material. Upon implantation, the device can be expanded to any height within the allowed range as specified for each device description (cage combination). The expansion of the cage is achieved via the Torque Limiting Handle. The components are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) meeting the specifications of ASTM F136 Standard.

The Subject cage implants are available in various heights, footprints, and lordotic angles to suit the individual patient's pathology and anatomical conditions. The primary and additional predicates have rectagular shape, with various footprints, height and lordotic angles. Both the subject device, primary and additional predicate are rectangular in shape, have lordotic angles, and are available in various heights and widths. The shape, width, lordosis are withing the maximum primary predicate and additional predicate range. The highet expansion of the subject cage is within the range of the primary predicate highet expansion range. Since there is no significant difference in technological characteristcs between the subject and predicate devices, we conclude that the subject device is substantially equivalent to Primary and additional predicate.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The worst-case cage of the Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage system underwent testing according to ASTM 2077, specifically static and dynamic axial compression testing, shear static and dynamic compression, expulsion testing, and subsidence testing according to ASTM F2267. The results met all acceptance criteria, and the subject device cage is equivalent to additional predicate biomechanical performance.

CONCLUSION VIII.

The Pegasus-X Expandable PLIF Cage has been found to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate with respect to technical characteristics, design, materials, and intended use. And to the additional predicate with respect to performance. The technological differences between the subject device and the predicate do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
