Intended Use
The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e. T1-L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is also indicated for use in the cervical spine (C3-C7 vertebral bodies for the standard and large VBR implant) in skeletally mature patients for partial or total replacement of a diseased, collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor, trauma (i.e. fracture), or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System for use in the cervical spine is designed to restore the integrity of spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period, in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with the surgeon's bone graft material of choice. The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. When used at more than two levels in the cervical spine, supplemental fixation should include posterior fixation that has been cleared by FDA.
Device Description
The Bengal Stackable Cage System is a VBR Spinal System designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period, as well as for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The structure of the polymer/carbon-fiber composite implants has been shown to support anticipated loads with a modulus of elasticity approximating that of cortical bone. The implants have ridges or teeth in both the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions, which resist rotation and migration. The polymer/carbon-fiber composite implants have cavities to accept packing of bone graft.

The document describes a physical implantable device (a spinal cage system) and its intended use. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies section refers to a literature analysis of clinical data, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

Yes.
The device is indicated for replacing a diseased vertebral body, treating tumors, achieving decompression of spinal cord and neural tissues, restoring height of a collapsed vertebral body, and treating fractures, all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The provided text describes the Bengal® Stackable Cage System as a device designed to replace vertebral bodies and restore spinal column integrity. Its intended use is for treatment and restoration, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical implant made of polymer/carbon-fiber composite, designed to be surgically implanted in the spine. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, 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 and Intended Use: The Bengal® Stackable Cage System is a surgical implant designed to replace or support vertebral bodies in the spine. Its function is mechanical and structural, not diagnostic. It is used in vivo (within the body) during surgery, not in vitro (in a lab setting) on patient samples.

The text clearly describes a surgical implant used for structural support and reconstruction of the spine, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

I. Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics, Performance, and Intended Use

The technological characteristics of the subject Bengal Stackable Cage System remain unchanged from their currently marketed predicate version in their design, material, performance, and intended use.

J. Materials

The materials of the subject implants remain unchanged from that of the previously cleared implants.

The Bengal Stackable Cage System implants are made of a polymer/carbon-fiber The polymer/carbon-fiber composite is made from PEEK Optima composite. LT1DA30 which complies with ASTM F2026-12, USP Class VI and ISO 10993-1. The Bengal cages have a tantalum ball per ASTM-F560 and a nut component made from titanium alloy, same as the screws, Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F136.

The accessories are all class I instruments made from stainless steel, silicone and polypropylene (or polyprolylux) a material that complies with ASTM D4101 for extruded polypropylene.

K. Performance Data

A literature analysis of published clinical data is provided to support the modified indication for use. The clinical outcomes demonstrate that interbody fusion devices similar to the subject devices are as safe and effective as the primary predicate devices and the additional predicate devices for the modification for use. No additional testing was required as the technological characteristics are consistent and or similar with those of the primary predicate device and the additional predicate device.
