Intended Use
SCARLET® AC-T cages are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. SCARLET® AC-T cages are intended to be used at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc to facilitate intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The SCARLET® AC-T Secured Anterior Cervical Cage is intended to be used as a standalone system used with the two bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. When used without the two bone screws, SCARLET AC-T cages are to be used with supplemental fixation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine.
Device Description
No design changes have been made to the Scarlet® AC-T cage. Same as the previously cleared devices (K141314, K141314), the Scarlet® AC-T is a box-shaped spacer with a central cavity that can be filled with bone graft to facilitate fusion. Scarlet® AC-T is available in convex or lordotic profiles. Scarlet® AC-T comes in two footprints and six heights in order to accommodate different patient anatomies. SCARLET® AC-T is made of Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI conforming to ISO 5832.3 and ASTM F136. SCARLET® AC-T is single-use device provided sterile (gamma radiation) and supplied with dedicated surgical instruments. Bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in USP standard is used for pyrogenicity testing to achieve the Endotoxin limit of 20 EU / device
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical intervertebral cage made of titanium alloy, intended for spinal fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not related to data analysis or interpretation.

Yes.
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine, which directly addresses a medical condition to restore function.

No

The device is an intervertebral cage designed to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of Titanium alloy and is supplied with dedicated surgical instruments.

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 and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant (an intervertebral cage) intended to be placed in the cervical spine to facilitate bone fusion. It is a physical device used in the body, not a test performed on samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any reagents, assays, analysis of biological samples, or any other characteristics associated with IVD devices.

This device is a surgical implant used in a surgical procedure.

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

Mechanical testing in compliance with: FDA's "Class II Special Controls Guidance
Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" was performed for the Scarlet® AC-T.
The following mechanical tests were performed: Static and dynamic axial compression
(per ASTM F2077), Static and dynamic shear compression (per ASTM F2077), Static
torsion (per ASTM F2077), subsidence (per ASTM F2267) and expulsion (per internal
protocol).
The result of these studies shows that the Scarlet® AC-T meets or exceeds the
performance of the predicate devices and does not introduce any new risks. Therefore
the Scarlet® AC-T is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

§ 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.

Technological
characteristics compared
to the predicate devicesAs was established in this submission Scarlet® AC-T is substantially equivalent and has
the same technological characteristics to its predicate devices in areas including
function, material composition, design, range of sizes and mechanical performance.
Scarlet® AC-T included within this submission differs from Scarlet® AC-T previously
cleared devices by its use without the two bone screws and with supplemental fixation.
Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the Scarlet® AC-T is
substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
Discussion of TestingMechanical testing in compliance with: FDA's "Class II Special Controls Guidance
Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" was performed for the Scarlet® AC-T.
The following mechanical tests were performed: Static and dynamic axial compression
(per ASTM F2077), Static and dynamic shear compression (per ASTM F2077), Static
torsion (per ASTM F2077), subsidence (per ASTM F2267) and expulsion (per internal
protocol).
The result of these studies shows that the Scarlet® AC-T meets or exceeds the
performance of the predicate devices and does not introduce any new risks. Therefore
the Scarlet® AC-T is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
ConclusionBased on the design features, technological characteristics, feature comparisons,
indications for use, and non-clinical performance testing, the Scarlet® AC-T has
demonstrated substantial equivalence to the identified predicate devices.
