Intended Use
The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2 to T1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The system is intended to be used with autograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion, and is implanted via an anterior approach. Implants must be used with two of the provided bone screws. This system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
Device Description
The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation system is intended for stand-alone cervical interbody fusion procedures to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The system includes intervertebral body implants (with an integrated locking mechanism and radiographic pins) and screws, and does not require the use of supplemental fixation. These implants are manufactured from a radiolucent polymer (PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 polymer from INVIBIO® Biomaterial Solutions (polyether ether ketone) (ASTM F2026)), to allow radiographic imaging inside the implant to evaluate fusion status. The implants are assembled with radiographic markers composed of tantalum (ASTM F560) to facilitate proper implant positioning. The screws and locking mechanism are manufactured from of titanium alloy (ASTM F136). Sterile implants are provided sterile by gamma irradiation. Implants are supplied with instrumentation necessary to facilitate the insertion and removal of the implants, as well as general manual surgical instruments. Cases and caddies are supplied for sterilization and transport of the non-sterile implants and instruments. The purpose of this submission is to obtain clearance of modifications to the predicate system (K152793).
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant system for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is an anterior cervical fixation system used in fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease and provide structural stability, indicating its use in treating a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is an anterior cervical fixation system intended for surgical implantation to facilitate spinal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of PEEK polymer, tantalum, and titanium alloy, including implants, screws, and surgical instruments. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is an implantable medical device. It is surgically placed inside the body to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures, which is a surgical treatment for degenerative disc disease. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

While the device description mentions "radiographic imaging inside the implant to evaluate fusion status," this is a feature of the implant to allow for post-operative assessment using imaging techniques. The device itself is not performing a diagnostic test on a specimen.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical performance studies were conducted. These included:

  • Static axial compression per ASTM F2077-14
  • Static compressive shear per ASTM F2077-14
  • Static torsion per ASTM F2077-14
  • Static Subsidence per ASTM F2267-04
  • Dynamic axial compression fatique per ASTM F2077-14
  • Dynamic compressive shear per ASTM F2077-14
  • Dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077-14
  • Locking mechanism disassociation testing
  • Screw push-out
  • Screw-interbody torque-to-failure testing
  • Locking mechanism torque-to-failure testing

The results of this non-clinical testing demonstrate that the subject Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate system. Pyrogenicity of the sterile devices was evaluated using the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay, ensuring the endotoxin level meets the requirements of maximum endotoxin limit for implantable medical devices [20 EU per device]. No clinical performance data was required for a determination of substantial equivalence.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2 to T1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The system is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion, and is implanted via an anterior approach. Implants must be used with two of the provided bone screws. This system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE

The subject Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System has been tested in the following test modes:

  • Static axial compression per ASTM F2077-14 .
  • .. Static compressive shear per ASTM F2077-14
  • Static torsion per ASTM F2077-14 "
  • Static Subsidence per ASTM F2267-04 =
  • Dynamic axial compression fatique per ASTM F2077-14 =
  • Dynamic compressive shear per ASTM F2077-14 "
  • Dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077-14 י
  • Locking mechanism disassociation testing =
  • Screw push-out 트
  • Screw-interbody torque-to-failure testing "
  • Locking mechanism torque-to-failure testing ..

The results of this non-clinical testing demonstrate that the subject Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate system.

Pyrogenicity of the sterile devices was evaluated using the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay. The device will be tested to ensure the endotoxin level meets the requirements of maximum endotoxin limit for implantable medical devices [20 EU per device].

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE

No clinical performance data was required for a determination of substantial equivalence.

CONCLUSION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The subject Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicates based on a comparison of overall technological characteristics, principles of operation, indications for use, materials, sterilization, packaging, and mechanical performance.
