The device is an interbody fusion device indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it treats a medical condition.
No
The device description indicates it is a fusion device (interbody system) used for spinal fusion, not for diagnosing a condition. Its purpose is to physically aid in the fusion of vertebrae, not to detect or identify diseases.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical implants made of PEEK and titanium alloy, along with associated instruments. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Meridian and WaveForm A Interbody Systems are implants used in spinal fusion surgery. They are physical devices inserted into the body to provide structural support and promote bone growth.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is mechanical and biological (promoting fusion).
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Meridian Interbody System
The Meridian Interbody System featuring NanoMetalene® surface technology consists of anterior intervertebral body fusion devices manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) (per ASTM F2026) with tantalum (per ASTM F560) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) markers for radiographic visualization and NanoMetalene, which is a one-micron thick surface layer of commercially pure titanium (per ASTM F67). NanoMetalene surface technology provides a microscopic roughened surface with nano-scale features. The interbody spacers are available in a variety of footprints, heights, and lordotic options to accommodate variations in pathology and patient anatomy and include a central graft window for receiving autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. The spacers are individually packaged and gamma sterilized.
The Meridian Interbody System spacers can be used alone with supplemental fixation or in combination with fixation implants to create the TruProfile and No-profile Interbody configurations. Fixation implants include Anterior Plates, Screws, Inline Fixation Anchors, Anterior Plate Locking Covers, and No-profile Locking Covers, all of which are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and provided non-sterile.
The system includes the associated non-sterile instruments that facilitate the placement, adjustment, and removal, if necessary, of the system implants as well as trays and caddies that may be used for storage, protection, and organization prior to and during the steam sterilization process for the non-sterile components.
WaveForm A Interbody System
The WaveForm A Interbody System consists of anterior intervertebral body fusion devices additively manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001). The interbody spacers are offered in a variety of footprints, heights, and lordotic options to accommodate variations in pathology and patient anatomy as well as with and without a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) surface treatment that provides a microscopic, roughened surface with nanoscale features. The interbody spacers, which include a central graft window for receiving autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone, are individually packaged and gamma sterilized.
The WaveForm A Interbody System spacers can be used alone with supplemental fixation or in combination with fixation implants to create the TruProfile and No-profile Interbody configurations.
