Device Description
The WaveForm A Interbody System consists of anterior intervertebral body fusion devices additively manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001). The interbody spacers are offered in a variety of footprints, heights, and lordotic configurations to accommodate variations in pathology and patient anatomy as well as with and without a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) surface treatment that provides a microscopic, roughened surface with nanoscale features. The spacers, which include a central graft window for receiving autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft material, are individually packaged in a double PETG/Tyvek tray configuration and gamma sterilized. The WaveForm A Interbody can be used alone with supplemental fixation or in combination with fixation implants to create the TruProfile Interbody configurations. Fixation implants include Anterior Plates, Spin Plates, Screws, Inline Fixation Anchors, Anterior Plate Locking Covers, and No-profile Locking Covers, all of which are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and provided non-sterile. The system includes the associated non-sterile instruments that facilitate the placement, adjustment, and removal, if necessary, of the system implants as well as trays and caddies that may be used for storage, protection, and organization prior to and during the steam sterilization process for the non-sterile components.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical interbody fusion device and its associated components and instruments. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML. The testing described is mechanical performance testing, not software validation.

Yes
The device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, treating a medical condition and restoring function.

No

This device is an interbody fusion device, designed to be implanted in the spine as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states that the device consists of physical implants made from titanium alloy and associated instruments for placement. It does not describe any software component as the primary medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an implant used in surgical procedures for spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an intervertebral body fusion device made of titanium alloy, designed to be implanted into the spine. This is a physical implant, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • No mention of diagnostic testing: The text focuses entirely on the surgical application and mechanical properties of the implant. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical implant used to treat a condition.

Dear Jesse Albright:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

1

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
