Intended Use
The Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage is indicated for use in cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from the C2 to T1 disc. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have six weeks of non-operative therapy. The Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, and is to be implanted via an open, anterior approach. The Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage System is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine.
Device Description
The Stryker Spine Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage is a hollow, ring shaped titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) interbody fusion cage intended for use in the cervical spine. The cage consists of an open window for bone graft containment and has serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces of the cage for fixation. The cage is offered in a variety of footprints, heights, and lordotic angles to adapt to varying patient anatomies. The Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage consists of a unique configuration of both solid and porous structures that are simultaneously built using Laser Rapid Manufacturing (LRM) method applying Stryker's proprietary Tritanium® In-Growth Technology. The Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage is provided sterile.

No
The device description focuses on the material, manufacturing method (Laser Rapid Manufacturing), and physical characteristics of the interbody fusion cage. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are mechanical and material tests, not related to algorithmic performance.

Yes
Explanation: The device is a cervical cage intended for interbody fusion procedures to treat degenerative disc disease, which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is an interbody fusion cage, indicated for use in cervical interbody fusion procedures. It is an implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hollow, ring shaped titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) interbody fusion cage," which is a physical implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion, a procedure performed in vivo (within the body). IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of titanium alloy, designed to be placed within the cervical spine. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information. Its function is structural support and promoting bone fusion.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and sterilization, which are relevant to surgical implants, not IVDs.

Therefore, the Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Testing in compliance with: FDA's June 12, 2007 “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" was performed for the Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical Cage and demonstrated substantially equivalent performance to the identified predicate devices.

The following mechanical tests were performed:
Static Compression (per ASTM F2077)
Dynamic Compression (per ASTM F2077)
Static Compression Shear (per ASTM F2077)
Dynamic Compression Shear (per ASTM F2077)

(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.
