Intended Use
The Alta ACDF System is a stand-alone cervical 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 non-operative treatment. The Alta ACDF System is to be filled with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft material, and is to be used with titanium alloy screws which accompany the implant.
Device Description
The cervical intervertebral body PEEK spacers have a hollowed cut-out central area to accommodate autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft and the upper and lower surfaces have a series of transverse slots or grooves to improve stability and fixation once the device is inserted. The implants in this system are made of PEEK-OPTIMA®, Tantalum, and Titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI). The spacer body, plates and screws are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to accommodate anatomical variation in different vertebral levels and/or patient anatomy. The Alta ACDF System is intended for stand-alone use in cervical intervertebral body fusion and must be used with the titanium alloy screws which accompany the implant. This Traditional 510(k) is being submitted to seek clearance for the addition of allograft (cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft) indications to the Alta ACDF System.

No
The summary describes a physical implant device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The focus is on the materials, design, and intended use of the implant itself.

Yes
The device is intended to treat degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine by facilitating cervical fusion, which directly addresses a medical condition and aims to restore function.

No

The device is a stand-alone cervical fusion device intended for treatment, not for diagnosis. It is used to fuse vertebrae, not to detect or identify a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system of physical implants made of PEEK, Tantalum, and Titanium alloy, including spacers, plates, and screws. It is a hardware device for spinal fusion.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Alta ACDF System is a "stand-alone cervical fusion device intended for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine". This describes a surgical implant used to treat a structural issue in the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and design of a physical implant (spacers, plates, screws) intended for surgical insertion.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs typically involve reagents, analyzers, or test kits used outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and fusion, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
