Intended Use
The PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System when used with screws is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. The interbody is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. The The PILLAR SA Ti Interbody may be used as a standalone device only when at least two Screws are inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory. If the surgeon chooses to use the PILLAR SA Ti Interbody with fewer than two Screws inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory, then additional supplemental fixation system must be used. Hyperlordotic sizes (greater than 20°) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System is an integrated in ody fusion device for use in anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures. The PILLAR SA TI Spacer System is compised of 3D printed titanium interbody spacers with porous titanium end plates and a functional gradient porous structure, and bone screws. The implants are offered in multiple footprints and lordotic options to accommodate individual patient anatomy. Each porous interbody has a large central window for graft material and a threaded hole with a zero-step locking mechanism for screw retention. The PILLAR SA TI Spacer System implants are provided sterile. PILLAR SA TI Spacer System implants are designed to be used with PILLAR SA TI Spacer System instrumentation and are not compatible with components from any other manufacturer's system.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes

The device is an interbody fusion device intended for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, which is a condition involving the spine. It aims to treat a medical condition and restore function, hence qualifying as a therapeutic device.

No.

The device is an interbody implant used as an adjunct to fusion for degenerative disc disease, not a diagnostic device. Its purpose is treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "3D printed titanium interbody spacers with porous titanium end plates and a functional gradient porous structure, and bone screws," 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to aid in spinal fusion for patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium with specific structural features designed for surgical implantation. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, the PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The interbody is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. The PILLAR SA Ti Interbody may be used as a standalone device only when at least two Screws are inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory. If the surgeon chooses to use the PILLAR SA Ti Interbody with fewer than two Screws inserted with one inferior and one superior screw trajectory, then additional supplemental fixation system must be used. Hyperlordotic sizes (greater than 20°) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.

Indications for Use Comparison

The subject PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System has the same intended use and comparable indications for use to the cited predicate devices.

Technological Comparison

The subject PILLAR SA Ti Spacer System the same: intent population, method of fixation, surgical approach, sterilization, materials and general design elements as the cited PIC Spacer System (K200052) and Meridian Interbody System (K233694) predicate devices.

In addition, Orthofix conducted the following mechanical tests as detailed in FDA Guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" comparing the subject and predicate device:
