Intended Use
The ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System is intended for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion at one level from the C2-C3 disc space to the C7-T1 disc for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in sketally mature patients who have had six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System is to be used with supplemental fixation and with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.
Device Description
The ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System's implants have a basic oval shape with a hollow center for placement of bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces have angled ridges, or "teeth," for resisting migration. The spacers are available in an assortment of heights and in multiple angles of lordosis to accommodate different anatomic requirements. The implants are made from either titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Materials Class C) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA® polymer, Invibio®) per ASTM F2026 with tantalum markers per ASTM F560. Both implants will be provided sterile. Instruments will be provided non-sterile but will be steam sterilized before use. The instrumentation is made from 455/465 SS per ASTM A564 and 17-4 SS per ASTM F899.
More Information

Not Found

No
The provided text describes a physical medical device (a cervical spacer system) and its materials, intended use, and predicate devices. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any related concepts.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is a cervical spacer system intended for spinal fusion, which is used for treatment, not diagnosis. It is an implant used with bone graft and supplemental fixation to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.

No

The device description clearly details physical implants made from titanium alloy or PEEK, along with surgical instruments. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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: The ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System is an implantable device designed to be surgically placed in the spine to facilitate fusion. It is a physical device used in the body, not a test performed on samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion, which is a surgical procedure.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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).

ODP
Purpose of
SubmissionThe purpose of this submission is to gain clearance for the updated ChoiceSpine
Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System. Updates to the system include new material and
manufacturing (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001 Class C), how supplied (sterile packed),
and the addition of allogenic bone graft.
Device DescriptionThe ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System's implants have a basic oval shape
with a hollow center for placement of bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces
have angled ridges, or "teeth," for resisting migration. The spacers are available in an
assortment of heights and in multiple angles of lordosis to accommodate different
anatomic requirements.
Indications for UseThe ChoiceSpine Stealth™ Cervical Spacer System is intended for anterior cervical
spine intervertebral body fusion at one level from the C2-C3 disc space to the C7-T1
disc for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in skeletally mature
patients who have had six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD is defined as
neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and
radiographic studies. The STEALTH™ Cervical Spacer System is to be used with
supplemental fixation and with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft
comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.

The implants are made from either titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Materials Class C) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA® polymer, Invibio®) per ASTM F2026 with tantalum markers per ASTM F560. Both implants will be provided sterile. Instruments will be provided non-sterile but will be steam sterilized before use. The instrumentation is made from 455/465 SS per ASTM A564 and 17-4 SS per ASTM F899.

Primary predicate: Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System (K091531), Predicate Device Additional Predicate: Choice Spine Tiger Shark System (K172816) Additional Predicate:NuVasive Modulus-C Interbody System (K172676)

The implants proposed in this submission are similar to the predicate devices in Substantial principle of operation, indications for use, stabilization method, anatomic location Equivalence Conclusion and approach, product code and classification, and biocompatibility. The indications for use were compared; the differences include the primary predicate is cleared for use with autograft while the subject device and additional predicate are intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft. The addition of the allogenic bone graft material does not alter the device intended use.

The additional spacer proposed made of Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001, Class C) is identical in geometry and footprint as the PEEK spacer offered in the Stealth Cervical Spacer System. The only difference between the spacers is the material and manufacturing method which are shared with the additional predicate. The difference between the mechanical properties confirmed that the PEEK spacer is the worst-case compared to the Titanium spacer which is previously tested and cleared under K091531.

The subject device and additional predicate are both provided sterile while the primary predicate is provided non-sterile. ChoiceSpine's sterilization process has been validated through gamma validation and distribution testing and the results demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met. The minimum radiation dose of 25kGy was sufficient to meet a sterilization assurance level (SAL) of 10 ° and the package system remained intact while also maintaining the hermetic barrier.
