No
The summary describes a mechanical interbody fusion device made of titanium and cobalt chrome, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as an "interbody fusion device" and is intended for "spinal fusion procedures" to treat degenerative disc disease, which are therapeutic medical procedures.
No
The device is an interbody fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is fabricated and manufactured from titanium alloy and Cobalt Chrome, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.
Based on the provided information, 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: The description clearly states that the TruLift® Micro Expandable System and the TRULIFT® Expandable Spacer System are physical implants made of titanium alloy and Cobalt Chrome. They are intended for surgical implantation into the spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
The device is a surgical implant used to treat a condition, not a diagnostic tool used to identify a condition by analyzing biological samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
When used as an interbody fusion device, the TruLift® Micro Expandable System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). 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 at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level(s) may be treated with the device. This device is intended to be used with autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw or anterolateral plating system) that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

Device Description
The TruLift® Micro Expandable System is available in a range of sizes and footprints and can expand to the desired height (8mm to 16mm) to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. It is fabricated and manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) and Cobalt Chrome (CO-26Cr-6MO) as described by ASTM F136and ASTM F1537. The implant allows packing of autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone to help promote fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces have teeth to assist in the interface with the vertebral bodies to prevent rotation and/or migration. All implants are provided sterile and intended for SINGLE USE ONLY and should not be reused under any circumstances. Do not use any of the TruLift® Micro Expandable System components with components from any other system or manufacturer. The TruLift® Micro Expandable System components should never be reused under any circumstances.

§ 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.
