Intended Use
The TiWAVE-C™ Porous Titanium Cervical Cage is intended for use in skeletally mature patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from C2 to T1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received six (6) weeks of prior non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the device. The devices must be used with supplemental fixation and must be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when used as an adjunct to fusion.
Device Description
The TiWAVE-C™ Porous Titanium Cervical Cages are intervertebral body fusion devices made from additive manufactured (AM) Titanium Grade 23 per ASTM F3001. The implants are available in various heights and lengths to accommodate patients' anatomy. The implants are provided sterile.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a passive implant (cervical cage) and the performance studies focus on mechanical and sterilization testing, not algorithmic performance. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease, which involves alleviating pain and degeneration of the disc, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is an intervertebral body fusion device (cervical cage) intended for treatment and fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device is an intervertebral body fusion device made from additive manufactured titanium, which is a physical hardware implant.

No, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The TiWAVE-C™ Porous Titanium Cervical Cage is an implantable medical device designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine to aid in fusion. It is a physical structure, not a test or assay performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat degenerative disc disease by providing structural support and promoting bone fusion, not to diagnose or monitor a condition through analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the TiWAVE-C™ Porous Titanium 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)

The following tests were independently performed on the device to demonstrate safety based on current industry standards: Static and dynamic axial compression (per ASTM F2077) Static and dynamic torsion (per ASTM F2077) Static compression shear (per ASTM F2077) Subsidence (per ASTM F2267) Static Expulsion The effectiveness of the gamma irradiation as a means of sterilization was validated using AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137-2 – method VDmax25. This included: Bioburden recovery factor testing Bacteriostasis and fungistasis Bioburden Verification dose Sterility testing of the verification dose sample The effectiveness of the final ultrasonic cleaning procedure for gamma sterilization included the following process qualifications: Visual verification Bioburden testing Cytotoxicity testing UV/Vis testing Total organic carbon (TOC) Bacterial Endotoxin (LAL) The effectiveness of the packaging and shipping of sterile product included the following process qualifications: Shipping testing Peel strength testing Bubble emission testing Integrity inspections The results of these evaluations indicate that the TiWAVE-C™ Porous Titanium Cervical Cage is equivalent to predicate device.

No clinical studies were performed.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Cherry:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
