Intended Use
The Exceed™ Biplanar Expandable Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Exceed™ Biplanar Expandable Interbody System is to be used with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone. The Exceed™ Biplanar Expandable Interbody System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral body fusion device.
Device Description
The Exceed™ Biolanar Expandable Interbody System is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device fabricated from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. The implant is provided unexpanded with a nose tapered in both the lateral and vertical planes, and is expanded in situ using the Exceed™ Inserter. The implant has a microscopic roughened surface with micro and nano-scale features on the superior and inferior surfaces for resistance to migration and to facilitate fusion. The implant is provided in different heights, lengths, and lordotic angles to accommodate the anatomical needs for a range of patients, and is designed to accommodate autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft material.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant and its associated nonclinical testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures for patients with degenerative disc disease, which involves treating a disease and restoring function.

No

The provided text describes the Exceed™ Biplanar Expandable Interbody System as a fusion device used in surgical procedures, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions. It is indicated for treatment of degenerative disc disease, not for its diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is fabricated from titanium alloy and is an implantable device, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly indicate that the Exceed™ Biplanar Expandable Interbody System is an implantable device used in surgical procedures on the lumbar spine. It is not used to test or analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The purpose of this device is structural support and fusion. Its function is to provide stability and facilitate bone growth between vertebrae, not to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro testing.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test.

§ 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 Mr. Smith:

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.
