Intended Use
The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The interbody is used with bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation. The interbody is inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space at one level from the C2/C3 disc space to the C7/T1 disc space for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease. Cervical degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history or radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and /or corticocancellous bone graft, to facilitate fusion. The device is implanted by an anterior approach. The TOMCAT™ implant must be used with the screws included in the TOMCAT™ system. This device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
Device Description
The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is an anterior cervical spinal fixation system for an effective means of stabilizing the cervical vertebral column (C2-T1) as an adjunct to fusion of vertebral bodies. The TOMCAT™ System will provide an alternative to the more common cervical interbody spacer Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF) surgical procedure. The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is a radiolucent and radiopaque intervertebral body fusion device. The interbody is made from PEEK-OPTIMA® HA, PEEK per ASTM F2026 with Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136, Tantalum radiopaque markers per ASTM F560. This device accepts titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) bone screws that are available in two diameters and multiple lengths. The system will be composed of a cervical interbody spacer with a zero profile and a hybrid device is implanted anteriorly by inserting two screws, one screw into the anterior face of vertebral body and the other diagonally through the end plate. The zero profile device is implanted anteriorly and stabilized by two diagonally placed screws.

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

Yes
Explanation: The device is a cervical spinal system used for fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is a cervical spinal system intended for fusion procedures to treat cervical degenerative disc disease, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK and Titanium, designed for surgical implantation. It also mentions bone screws and performance testing related to mechanical properties.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System Function: The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is a surgical implant designed to stabilize the cervical spine and facilitate fusion. It is physically implanted into the patient's body.

The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, not a device that analyzes biological samples outside the body.

§ 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.

Device Description:

The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is an anterior cervical spinal fixation system for an effective means of stabilizing the cervical vertebral column (C2-T1) as an adjunct to fusion of vertebral bodies. The TOMCAT™ System will provide an alternative to the more common cervical interbody spacer Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF) surgical procedure. The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is a radiolucent and radiopaque intervertebral body fusion device. The interbody is made from PEEK-OPTIMA® HA, PEEK per ASTM F2026 with Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136, Tantalum radiopaque markers per ASTM F560. This device accepts titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) bone screws that are available in two diameters and multiple lengths.

The system will be composed of a cervical interbody spacer with a zero profile and a hybrid device is implanted anteriorly by inserting two screws, one screw into the anterior face of vertebral body and the other diagonally through the end plate. The zero profile device is implanted anteriorly and stabilized by two diagonally placed screws.

Indications for Use:

The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System is indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The interbody is used with bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation. The interbody is inserted between the vertebral bodies into the disc space at one level from the C2/C3 disc space to the C7/T1 disc space for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease. Cervical degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history or radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with autograft bone graft composed of cancellous and /or corticocancellous bone graft, to facilitate fusion. The device is implanted by an anterior approach. The TOMCAT™ implant must be used with the screws included in the TOMCAT™ system. This device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.

Performance Standards:

The TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System has been tested by an independent laboratory in accordance to the following standard:

Static Axial Compression per ASTM F2077 Static Torsion per ASTM F2077 Static Compression Shear per ASTM F2077 Dynamic Axial Compression per ASTM F2077 Dynamic Torsion per ASTM F2077 Dynamic Compression Shear per ASTM F2077 Static Testing in Subsidence per ASTM F2267 Static Testing in Expulsion per ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02

The performance testing required is the equivalent for the predicate devices.

Substantial Equivalence:

The characteristics of the TOMCAT™ Cervical Spinal System are similar to the predicate devices Spine Frontier (K142026) Arena-C System, Stryker (K102606) AVS- Anchor-C, Spinesmith (K122630) IN:C2 and Centinel Spine (K150053) STALIF C & STALIF C -- Ti.

Equivalence is based on the similarities of the intended use, implant design, physical characteristics when compared to the predicates, and manufacturing materials. Choice Spine concludes that the TOMCAT™ Spinal System is substantially equivalent when compared to the predicate legally marketed devices.
