Intended Use
The Cervical Stand-Alone System is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous disc levels. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The Cervical Stand-Alone System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed via an anterior approach at one- or two-disc levels (C2-T1) using autograft bone. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment. The Cervical Stand-Alone Interbody Fusion System is intended to be used with the bone screw fixation provided and requires no additional fixation.
Device Description
The Cervical Stand-Alone System implants are available in various heights and geometric footprints to accommodate individual patient anatomy and graft material size. Cervical Stand-Alone devices are inserted through an anterior cervical approach and packed with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebral bodies to aid in expulsion resistance, while screws are inserted through the anterior face of the implant for bone fixation. The device is intended to provide mechanical support to the implanted level until biologic fusion is achieved. The cages are made from medical grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) per ASTM F2026 with tantalum per ASTM F560 pins, from titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136, or from additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F3001. The integrated fixation screws and screw anti-backout plate are manufactured from Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136. These devices are offered non-sterile.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion system used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine to treat degenerative disc disease and accompanying radicular symptoms. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes a cervical interbody fusion system designed to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine for patients with degenerative disc disease. Its purpose is to provide mechanical support and aid in fusion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made from PEEK, tantalum, and titanium alloy, and includes screws for fixation. It is a hardware device, not software.

No, 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant (a cervical interbody fusion system) that is physically placed within the patient's body to facilitate bone fusion. It is a medical device used in a surgical procedure, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine" and is "placed via an anterior approach." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The device is a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic tool.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Cervical Stand-Alone System has been tested in the following test modes:

  • Static and dynamic axial compression per ASTM F2077
  • Static and dynamic compression shear per ASTM F2077
  • Static and dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077
  • Subsidence per ASTM F2267

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the Cervical Stand-Alone System is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:

The Cervical Stand-Alone System implants are available in various heights and geometric footprints to accommodate individual patient anatomy and graft material size. Cervical Stand-Alone devices are inserted through an anterior cervical approach and packed with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebral bodies to aid in expulsion resistance, while screws are inserted through the anterior face of the implant for bone fixation. The device is intended to provide mechanical support to the implanted level until biologic fusion is achieved. The cages are made from medical grade polyetheretherketone (PEEK) per ASTM F2026 with tantalum per ASTM F560 pins, from titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136, or from additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F3001.
