Intended Use
SCARLET® AC-T cages are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage. SCARLET® AC-T cages are intended to be used at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc to facilitate intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The SCARLET® AC-T Secured Anterior Cervical Cage is intended to be used as a standalone system used with the two bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. When used without the two bone screws, SCARLET AC-T cages are to be used with supplemental fixation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine.
Device Description
The Scarlet® AC-T is a box-shaped spacer with a central cavity that can be filled with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/ or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Scarlet® AC-T is available in convex or lordotic profiles. Scarlet® AC-T comes in two footprints and six heights in order to accommodate different patient anatomies. The Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws are available with diameters 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm and come in various sizes so as to accommodate different patient anatomies. The SCARLET® AC-T spacer and screws are made of Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI conforming to ISO 5832.3 and ASTM F136. SCARLET® AC-T is single-use device provided sterile (gamma radiation) and supplied with dedicated surgical instruments. Bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in USP standard is used for pyrogenicity testing to achieve the Endotoxin limit of 20 EU / device.

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical characteristics and function of a cervical cage and screws for spinal fusion. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is a cervical cage intended for intervertebral body fusion to treat degenerative disc disease, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it directly treats a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates that the SCARLET® AC-T is an intervertebral cage designed to facilitate spinal fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical implant (box-shaped spacer and screws) made of Titanium alloy. It is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description: The SCARLET® AC-T is described as a physical implant (a cage and screws made of titanium alloy) intended for surgical insertion into the cervical spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a surgically implanted medical device, not a diagnostic tool used with biological samples.

§ 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.

| | The SCARLET® AC-T Secured Anterior Cervical Cage is intended to be used as a
standalone system used with the two bone screws provided and requires no
additional supplementary fixation systems.
When used without the two bone screws, SCARLET AC-T cages are to be used with
supplemental fixation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical
spine. |
| Description
of
device | The Scarlet® AC-T is a box-shaped spacer with a central cavity that can be filled with
autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/
or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Scarlet® AC-T is available in
convex or lordotic profiles. Scarlet® AC-T comes in two footprints and six heights
in order to accommodate different patient anatomies. The Scarlet® AC-T fixation
screws are available with diameters 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm and come in various
sizes so as to accommodate different patient anatomies.
The SCARLET® AC-T spacer and screws are made of Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI
conforming to ISO 5832.3 and ASTM F136. SCARLET® AC-T is single-use device
provided sterile (gamma radiation) and supplied with dedicated surgical
instruments.
Bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in USP standard is used for pyrogenicity testing
to achieve the Endotoxin limit of 20 EU / device. |
| Technological
characteristics
compared to
the
predicate devices | Added Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws are 3.5 mm in diameter with a core diameter of
2.1 mm for the first-intention screw and 2.6 mm for the revision screw. These added
Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws present a modified distal tip to facilitate the insertion
into the bone.
All other dimensions and features (material, hexalobe imprint, anti-backout
mechanism) are identical.
As was established in this submission added Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws are
substantially equivalent and has the same technological and mechanical characteristics
to predicate devices. |
| Discussion of Testing | No additional testing has been performed for the added Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws.
A risk analysis was performed to determine that additional testing was not needed. |
| Conclusion | Based on the design features, technological characteristics, feature comparisons,
indications for use, and non-clinical performance testing, the Scarlet® AC-T has
demonstrated substantial equivalence to the identified predicate devices. |
