The COALITION™ Spacer is a stand-alone interbody fusion device intended for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C3-T1) at one level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) weeks of nonoperative treatment. The COALITION™ Spacer is to be filled with autogenous bone graft material, and is to be used with two titanium alloy screws which accompany the implant.
The COALITION™ Spacer is a stand-alone cervical interbody fusion device used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectorny. The spacers are available in various heights and geometric options to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. Protrusions on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to aid in expulsion resistance. Screws are inserted through the anterior titanium portion of the implant into adjacent vertebral bodies for bony fixation. The spacer is to be filled with autogenous bone graft material.
The COALITION™ Spacer is made from radiolucent polymer, with titanium alloy or tantalum markers, as specified in ASTM F2026, F136, F1295, and F560. The anterior portion of the implant and the mating screws are manufactured from titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136 and F1295.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the COALITION™ Spacer, an intervertebral body fusion device. This document describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone performance, or training/ground truth details typically associated with AI/ML device evaluations.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on regulatory approval for a physical medical implant, not a software or AI/ML diagnostic tool.
§ 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.
