Intended Use
The PYXIS 3D Titanium Cage System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S 1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by 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 or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The PYXIS 3D Titanium Cage System is to be combined with supplemental fixation cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The GS Medical PYXIS 3D Titanium Cage System devices are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of he disc. They system consists of various cages for intervertebral body fusion ranging in height from 5mm-21mm with multiple lordotic options depending on the approach. The components are manufactured from 3D printed Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) meeting the specifications of ASTM F3001 Standard Specification for Additive Manufacturing Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) with Powder Bed Fusion. The PYXIS 3D Titanium Cage System implants are available in various heights, footprints, and lordotic angles to suit the individual patient's pathology and anatomical conditions.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive implant (spinal cage) and its material properties and mechanical testing. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a non-powered surgical implant designed to restore intervertebral space height and is indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is to physically treat and alleviate symptoms associated with this condition, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No.
The device is a permanent implant (cage system) used for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease, not to diagnose the condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of "various cages for intervertebral body fusion" manufactured from "3D printed Titanium Alloy." This indicates a physical implant, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion. It involves placing a cage with bone graft into the intervertebral space. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of titanium, designed to restore disc height and facilitate fusion. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are biomechanical tests evaluating the structural integrity and performance of the implant, which is typical for a surgical device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The worst-case cage of the PYXIS 3D Titanium 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.

§ 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.

The components are manufactured from 3D printed Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) meeting the specifications of ASTM F3001 Standard Specification for Additive Manufacturing Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) with Powder Bed Fusion.

The PYXIS 3D Titanium Cage System implants are available in various heights, footprints, and lordotic angles to suit the individual patient's pathology and anatomical conditions.

VI. PERFORMANCE DATA

The worst-case cage of the PYXIS 3D Titanium 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.

VII. CONCLUSION

The PYXIS 3D Titanium 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 minor technological differences between the subject device and the predicate do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
