The document describes interbody fusion devices and a surgical navigation system. While the navigation system uses imaging (CT/fluoroscopy) to locate anatomical structures, there is no mention of AI or ML being used for image analysis, decision support, or any other function. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device, comprising interbody fusion spacers (HEDRON C®, HEDRON IC®, HEDRON® Lumbar Spacers, HEDRON IA® Integrated Lumbar Spacers, SABLE® Expandable Spacer), is intended for use in patients with various spinal conditions (e.g., cervical disc disease, instability, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis) to provide structural stability and act as an adjunct to fusion. These devices directly treat or alleviate a disease or condition in the body.
No
The devices described (HEDRON® Spacers, SABLE® Expandable Spacer) are interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in the spine after discectomy. The ExcelsiusGPS® is a surgical navigation system. None of these devices are designed to diagnose medical conditions; they are intended for surgical intervention and structural support.
No
The device description clearly states that the devices are physical implants (spacers) made from titanium alloy and other materials, intended for surgical implantation. While the ExcelsiusGPS® system is mentioned as an aid for navigation, the primary devices being described are hardware implants.
Based on the provided text, the devices described (HEDRON® Spacers, SABLE® Expandable Spacer, and ExcelsiusGPS®) are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The devices described are surgical implants (interbody fusion devices) and a surgical navigation system. They are used in the body during surgery to treat spinal conditions.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for surgical procedures to provide structural stability, aid in fusion, and assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures and navigating instruments. This is a therapeutic and surgical function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.
Therefore, these devices fall under the category of surgical implants and navigation systems, not IVDs.

DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by history and radiographic studies. HEDRON® Spacers are to be filled with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the thoracolumbosacral spine (e.g., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). Hyperlordotic interbody devices (≥20° lordosis) must be used with at least anterior supplemental fixation.
HEDRON IA® Integrated Lumbar Spacers are integrated lumbar interbody fusion devices indicated for use at one or more levels of the lumbosacral spine (L1-S1), as an adjunct to fusion in patients with the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD), disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy), spondylolisthesis, deformity (degenerative scoliosis or kyphosis), spinal stenosis, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These devices are intended to be used with or without three screws and/or anchors which accompany the implants. These devices are intended for use with supplemental fixation (e.g. facet screws or posterior fixation). In addition, these devices are intended for stand-alone use in patients with DDD at one or two levels only when

(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).
