No
The summary describes a passive implant (lumbar cage) made of PEEK material. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural.
Yes
The device is described as an implant used in spinal fusion surgery to treat degenerative disc disease, facilitating the fusion of vertebrae and providing stability, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion cage intended for surgical implantation to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a physical implant (PEEK cage) intended for surgical implantation in the lumbar spine. The description focuses on the material, design, and mechanical testing of the physical device, with no mention of software as a component or function.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used to diagnose diseases, conditions, or states of health by analyzing things like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- The ARTFX Lumbar PEEK Cages are implants. They are surgically placed into the lumbar spine to provide structural support and facilitate fusion. They do not analyze or test any biological specimens.
The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ARTFX Lumbar PEEK Cages are indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).
Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received at least six (6) months of prior non-operative treatment.
The devices are designed to be used with supplemental fixation and autograft/autologous bone grafts to facilitate fusion for each spinal region.

Device Description
The ARTFX Lumbar PEEK Cages consist of 3 different models: TLIF, PLIF and Expandable PLIF. The System implants are supplied sterile, for single use and are fabricated from PEEK Optima that conforms to ASTM F2026. Various sizes of these components are available.
The Lumbar Cages are lumbar intervertebral devices to be implanted into the appropriate lumbar vertebral section to help provide stability for spinal fusion after a diseased lumbar disc producing back pain is removed during spinal decompression.
ARTFX Lumbar PEEK Cages feature an open cavity to accommodate autogenous bone graft and provide stability for fusion. The height of the Expandable PLIF device, can be increased by up to 2 mm due to the expandable structure. Also, sharp teeth on the implant's surface engage the vertebral endplates to prevent cage migration.

(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.

Dear Gizem Boz:
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 (the 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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"
