Intended Use
The Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical System are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous bone graft when used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from C2 to T1. Degenerative Disc Disease is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical System may be used with additional supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The BluStone Synergy Diamond Stand Alone (SA) Cervical System consists of the Diamond cervical interbody plate and screws to be used in conjunction with the Blustone Synergy Interbody Fusion SLATE cervical interbody fusion devices to form the Diamond Stand Alone Cervical System. The Diamond Stand Alone cervical system is designed to be used with allograft and/or autograft. Use of the Diamond SA Cervical System is intended to expedite the Anterior Cervical Device instrumentation procedure, while minimizing tissue disruption through a minimally invasive approach. The Diamond plate includes anterior nail spikes to resist rotation and two holes for insertion of the included bone screws as well as an integrated locking plate to resist bone screw backout. The Diamond cervical interbody plate and screws are manufactured from titanium alloy. Previously cleared SLATE cervical cages to be used with the Diamond plate and screws are manufactured from PEEK and include tantalum markers. All implant components are available in various sizes to accommodate varying patient anatomy.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of the interbody fusion device and associated hardware. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance testing.

Yes
The device is an intervertebral body fusion system, which is a type of implant used to treat degenerative disc disease and facilitate spinal fusion, thereby providing a therapeutic benefit for a medical condition.

No

The device is an intervertebral body fusion device (cervical plate and screws, and interbody fusion devices/cages) used to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. It is an implantable surgical device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components (interbody plate, screws, cages) made of titanium alloy and PEEK. It also describes bench performance testing on these physical implants.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical System is an implantable device used in surgery to fuse vertebrae in the cervical spine. It is a physical device used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic testing. The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and stability of the implant.

Therefore, the Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical 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). 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.

There are insignificant differences between the subject Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical System and the predicates. The Indications for Use, Materials, and Geometry for predicate devices are all inclusive of the subject device. Testing shows that the subject Blustone Synergy Diamond SA Cervical System performs equivalent to or better than the 5th percentile of FDA benchmark values . Thus, it can be concluded that the subject does not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.

Performance Testing:

Bench performance testing was performed on the subject Diamond SA Cervical System implants including static and dynamic axial compression, static and dynamic axial compression shear, and static and dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077-18; subsidence per ASTM F2267-04 (2018); and expulsion.

Conclusion:

Based on the test results and the comparison to the predicate devices, the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
