Intended Use
The Medussa-PL Cage is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. The device must be used with supplemental fixation. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is indicated to be used with autograft bone.
Device Description
The Medussa-PL Cage is an interbody fusion device utilized to facilitate the fusion process in the lumbar spine. The Medussa-PL Cage is additively manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) according to the ASTM F3001 and is available in a range of sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies, and pathologies.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion cage used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine for patients with Degenerative Disc Disease, which directly addresses a medical condition and aims to restore physiological function.

No
The device is an interbody fusion cage used to facilitate the fusion process in the lumbar spine, specifically for treating Degenerative Disc Disease, not for diagnosing it.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Medussa-PL Cage is an interbody fusion device additively manufactured from Titanium Alloy, indicating it is a physical hardware implant.

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 Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant (an interbody fusion cage) used to facilitate spinal fusion in the lumbar spine. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or diagnostic testing.

The Medussa-PL Cage is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Mathai:

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.
