The summary describes a physical implantable device and its sterilization method. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an interbody fusion system designed to treat symptomatic degenerative disc disease and facilitate spinal fusion, which are therapeutic medical procedures.
No
This device is an interbody fusion system, specifically an implant designed to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is therapeutic (spinal fusion), not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is comprised of physical components made from titanium alloy, such as interbody cages and bone screws. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device description and intended use: The Stable-L and Stable-C systems are described as interbody fusion systems intended for surgical implantation in the spine to facilitate bone fusion. They are physical implants used in the body, not devices used to test samples from the body.
- Lack of IVD characteristics: The text does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures typically associated with IVD devices.
Therefore, the Stable-L and Stable-C Interbody Systems are medical devices, but they fall under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Stable-L Standalone Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. Stable-L is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. Stable-L is intended for use in interbody fusions in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 at one or two adjacent levels in the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD). The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Each interbody fusion device having a lordotic angle 20° or less is intended to be used with the bone screws provided and requires no additional fixation. However, for hyperlordotic devices (> 20° lordosis), due to the increased risk of anterior migration with hyperlordotic implants, the devices should be used with the bone screws provided and supplemental fixation such as posterior fixation.
The Nexus Spine Stable-C Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in sketally mature patients with cervical disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Stable-C Interbody System is a standalone system intended to be used with the bone anchors provided. The system is intended to be used with autogenous or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
