Intended Use
The SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion device indicated for use in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as discogenic neck pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the device. The SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is to be used with autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and implanted via an open, anterior approach. When used with the fixed or variable screws, the SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is intended to be used at one or two levels from C2-T1 and requires no additional fixation. When used with one or more helical screws, the SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is intended to be used at one level and with supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is a collection of additively manufactured interbody spacers and integrated fixation for cervical implantation The cervical spacers have basic rounded rectangular shape and an open architecture. The integrated fixation consists of three screw options. A variety of height, length, width and anteroposterior angulation combinations are available to accommodate the anatomic requirements of individual patients. The SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is provided sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion device indicated for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, which involves implanting it to aid in fusion and alleviate pain.

No

The SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone System is described as an interbody fusion device for treating degenerative disc disease, focusing on structural support and fusion, not on diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a collection of additively manufactured interbody spacers and integrated fixation, which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion. It is a physical device implanted into the body to treat a structural issue (degenerative disc disease).
  • Device Description: The description details a collection of interbody spacers and integrated fixation, which are physical components for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such function. It is a therapeutic device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical tests on the physical device, not analytical or clinical performance studies related to diagnostic accuracy.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SureMAX-SA™ Cervical Standalone 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.

Dear Dr. Warden:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

The mechanical test results demonstrate that SureMAX-SATM Cervical
Standalone System performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate
devices.
Technological
Characteristics:The SureMAX-SATM Cervical Standalone System possesses the same
technological characteristics as one or more of the predicate devices. These
include: intended use (as described above), basic design (additively
manufactured structure and integrated fixation), material (titanium alloy) and
sizes (dimensions are comparable to those offered by the predicate
systems).
Therefore the fundamental scientific technology of the SureMAX-SATM
Cervical Standalone System is the same as previously cleared devices.
Conclusion:The SureMAX-SATM Cervical Standalone System possesses the same
intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices.
Therefore the SureMAX-SATM Cervical Standalone System is substantially
