Intended Use
Ventana™ L intervertebral body fusion devices are intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These devices are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). This device is intended to be used with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months' non-operative treatment prior to being treated with this device.
Device Description
The subject devices are intervertebral body fusion devices for use in lumbar spinal surgery. They may also be referred to as interbody fusion devices or interbody cages. The devices are generally box-shaped with various holes throughout their design to allow for the placement of autograft or allogenic bone graft. They include a lid which further facilitates installation of bone graft and which is shut prior to implantation. The exterior of the devices has "teeth" or other generally sharp engagement members on the superior and inferior surfaces to help prevent the devices from migrating once they are implanted. The devices submitted herein are additively manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F3001.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device (intervertebral body fusion device) and its mechanical properties and intended use. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease, which addresses a medical condition and aims to restore function.

No
Explanation: The Ventana L intervertebral body fusion devices are intended for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, not to diagnose it. Its purpose is to facilitate the fusion of vertebrae, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is an intervertebral body fusion device made from titanium alloy, which is a physical hardware implant.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

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 Description: The provided text describes a physical implantable device (an intervertebral body fusion device) used in spinal surgery. It is a medical device that is surgically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The information provided clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant, not an IVD.

§ 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 Dr. Lamothe:

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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
