Intended Use
Rampart T implants are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. Rampart T implants are designed for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion and are intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
Rampart T implants are intervertebral body fusion devices for use with bone graft in the intervertebral disc space to stabilize spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion. The device is made of PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 with Tantalum markers and is provided in various configurations and heights, containing a hollow core to receive bone autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Placement is achieved with an insertion instrument that allows for manipulation of the implant in the intervertebral disc space.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive intervertebral body fusion device made of PEEK with Tantalum markers. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies rely on a review of published clinical data for similar devices, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

Yes
The device is used for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease, which involves addressing a medical condition (back pain) and restoring function (spinal stability), thus having a therapeutic effect.

No
The device is an intervertebral body fusion device designed to stabilize spinal segments and aid in fusion, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made of PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 with Tantalum markers and is provided in various configurations and heights, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Rampart T implant is a physical device designed to be surgically implanted into the lumbar spine to aid in spinal fusion. It is a structural implant, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide structural support and promote fusion in the spine, not to diagnose a condition or provide information based on biological samples.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing: There have been no design changes made to the Rampart T device to support the use of allograft material; therefore, non-clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET), also known as limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) testing, was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ST72:2011.

Clinical Testing: A review of published clinical data for lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices similar to the Rampart T device was provided in support of this application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrate that the use of allograft in interbody fusion procedures to treat patients with degenerative disc disease, as defined above, pose no new risks to patients. No design changes were made to the existing device, nor were any new components added to this system to support the use of allograft material; therefore, clinical testing was not required or performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

§ 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.

Rampart T implants are designed for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion and are intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

IV. Non-Clinical Testing

There have been no design changes made to the Rampart T device to support the use of allograft material; therefore, non-clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET), also known as limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) testing, was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ST72:2011.

V. Clinical Testing

A review of published clinical data for lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices similar to the Rampart T device was provided in support of this application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrate that the use of allograft in interbody fusion procedures to treat patients with degenerative disc disease, as defined above, pose no new risks to patients. No design changes were made to the existing device, nor were any new components added to this system to support the use of allograft material; therefore, clinical testing was not required or performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

VI. Technological Characteristics

The Rampart T device has the same primary technological characteristics, including design and materials, as the predicate device. The fundamental scientific technology remains unchanged.

VII. Conclusion

The Rampart T device has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and principle of operation as the predicate devices. The clinical literature review presented in this application supports the expansion of the indications for use statement to include the optional use of allograft bone graft as an adjunct to fusion and a substantial equivalence determination of the Rampart T Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device as compared to the predicate devices.
