Intended Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Integrity Spine Core System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The Integrity Spine Core System is a cervical interbody fusion system comprised of lordotic cages in two footprints with varying heights designed to accommodate patient anatomy and may be implanted as a single device via an anterior approach. The Integrity Spine Core System implant components are made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK, Zeniva ZA-500) that conforms to ASTM F2026. The devices are plasma spray coated with titanium that conforms to ASTM F1580. Additionally, the devices contain tantalum markers that conform to ASTM F560 to assist the surgeon with proper placement of the device. The Integrity Spine Core System is implanted using a combination of device specific and universal class I instruments manufactured from stainless steel that conforms to ASTM F899.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests of the device itself.

Yes.
The device is used to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, which is a therapeutic treatment.

No

This device is an intervertebral body fusion device used for treatment, not diagnosis. It is implanted to facilitate fusion based on pre-existing diagnoses confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical components (cages, markers, instruments) made of materials like PEEK, titanium, tantalum, and stainless steel. It also describes non-clinical testing of these physical components.

No, 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 Function: The Integrity Spine Core System is a physical implant (a cervical intervertebral body fusion device) designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate fusion. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intervertebral body fusion" in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and components of the implant itself, not reagents or equipment for analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are mechanical tests (compression, torsion, subsidence, expulsion) related to the physical properties and function of the implant, not studies evaluating the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

The device is used in conjunction with "radiographic studies" to confirm the diagnosis of degenerative disc disease, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic function. The radiographic studies are the diagnostic tools in this scenario.

§ 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.
