Intended Use
The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and placed via an open, anterior approach; supplemental fixation (i.e., posterior cervical screw fixation) is required to properly utilize this system.
Device Description
The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System consists of a selection of sterile, single use cervical interbody cages indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from C2-T1. The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System cages are multi-component devices comprised of a cage body, anchor plate and graft containment plate. Spine Wave supplies the cage body and anchor plate as a paired combination, and the surgeon assembles the graft cap in situ. The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage system cages are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient anatomies and manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136), commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67) and PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% BaSO4. Using the Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage Inserter, the surgeon places the cage body with undeployed anchor plate into the disc space. After placement, the surgeon uses the cage inserter to deploy the superior and inferior portions of the anchor plate into the adjacent vertebral bodies and pack the open end of the cage with autograft. Once grafting is complete, the surgeon snaps the graft cap into the open end of the cage.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant (cervical cage system) and its surgical placement. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on sterilization, biocompatibility, and shelf life, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is used to treat degenerative disc disease and associated symptoms in the cervical spine, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device, the Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System, is a surgical implant designed for interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical implantable device made of titanium and PEEK, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine. It is used to treat degenerative disc disease by providing structural support and facilitating bone fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure and the placement of an implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic tool.

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

No performance testing was required, because the proposed level of gamma sterilization to the modified device does not change the strength and performance characteristics of the materials present in the modified device. The subject device is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate in performance testing. The sterile-pack implants was evaluated in accordance with the following standards:

  • Sterilization validation in accordance with ISO 11137
  • Biocompatibility assessment per ISO 10993 ●
  • Shelf life validation in accordance with ASTM F1980 ●
  • Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-● 72:2011

§ 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.

5. Device Description

The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System consists of a selection of sterile, single use cervical interbody cages indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from C2-T1.

4

The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System cages are multi-component devices comprised of a cage body, anchor plate and graft containment plate. Spine Wave supplies the cage body and anchor plate as a paired combination, and the surgeon assembles the graft cap in situ. The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage system cages are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient anatomies and manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136), commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67) and PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% BaSO4.

Using the Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage Inserter, the surgeon places the cage body with undeployed anchor plate into the disc space. After placement, the surgeon uses the cage inserter to deploy the superior and inferior portions of the anchor plate into the adjacent vertebral bodies and pack the open end of the cage with autograft. Once grafting is complete, the surgeon snaps the graft cap into the open end of the cage.

6. Indications for Use

The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. The Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and placed via an open, anterior approach; supplemental fixation (i.e., posterior cervical screw fixation) is required to properly utilize this system.

7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The substantial equivalence of the Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System to the listed predicate is shown by similarity in intended use, indications for use, materials and performance.

8. Performance Testing

No performance testing was required, because the proposed level of gamma sterilization to the modified device does not change the strength and performance characteristics of the materials present in the modified device. The subject device is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate in performance testing. The sterile-pack implants was evaluated in accordance with the following standards:

  • Sterilization validation in accordance with ISO 11137
  • Biocompatibility assessment per ISO 10993 ●
  • Shelf life validation in accordance with ASTM F1980 ●

  • Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-● 72:2011

9. Conclusion

Based on the indications for use, technical characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to the predicate, the Paramount® Anterior Cervical Cage System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified in this submission and does not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
