Intended Use
The Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one level (L2 to S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the non-cervical spine. Implants are intended to be implanted via an open, anterior approach and packed with bone graft. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels(s). These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via an anterior (ALIF) approach. Hyperlordotic implants (those with a lordotic angle greater than or equal to 20°) are indicated for use with a supplemental spinal fixation system that has been cleared by the FDA. The Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System interbody implants with a lordotic angle less than 20°, when used with the internal fixation screws, do not require use of supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System is an intervertebral fusion device made from medical grade PEEK per ASTM F2026, titanium per ASTM F136, and tantalum markers per ASTM F560. The subject device implant cages are offered in a variety of footprints and sizes to accommodate various patient anatomies. The Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System is offered in heights of 12-22mm, widths of 28- 38mm, and lengths of 24-29mm. The subject device implant screws are offered in Ø5.0-6.0mm diameters and lengths ranging 20-35mm. The subject device implant is offered with a lordosis of 7- 30°.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant (lumbar cage system) and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a medical implant intended to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate spinal fusion, which are therapeutic interventions.

No.

The device is an implantable lumbar cage system designed to facilitate spinal fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an intervertebral fusion device made from medical grade PEEK, titanium, and tantalum markers, and describes physical dimensions and materials, indicating it is a hardware implant.

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant intended for spinal fusion procedures. It is a physical device placed within the body to facilitate bone growth and stabilize the spine.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

The Arco™-SA Lumbar Cage System has been tested in the following test modes:

  • Static axial compression per ASTM F2077-11
  • Static compressive shear per ASTM F2077-11
  • Dynamic axial compression per ASTM F2077-11
  • Dynamic compressive shear per ASTM F2077-11

(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.
