Intended Use
The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is to be used with two titanium alloy screws which accompany the implant and does not require supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System cages are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of the disc while also providing biomechanical stability with the addition on an integrated plate. This integrated plate allows for the user to bypass using an additional plate as seen with traditional ACIF spacers. The CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System devices consist of implants available in various heights and lordotic configurations with an open architecture to accept packing of bone graft material. The Subject device also contains supplementary fixation screw. The intervertebral body fusion devices are made of hydroxyapatite polyether-ether-ketone (HA PEEK OPTIMA LT1) body with a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) plate and X-ray (radioopaque) markers made of tantalum. The supplementary screws are made up of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes
The device is indicated for use in treating degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms, specifically to facilitate intervertebral body fusion, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is an intervertebral body fusion system designed to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine. Its function is to restore intervertebral space height and provide stability, not to diagnose medical conditions or interpret patient data.

No

The device description explicitly details physical implants made of HA PEEK, titanium alloy, and tantalum, along with supplementary screws. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the implant (cage, plate, screws) and the materials used. This aligns with a medical device intended for implantation, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are biomechanical tests (compression, shear, torsion, expulsion, subsidence), which are relevant to the structural integrity and function of a surgical implant, not the analytical performance of a diagnostic test.

In summary, the GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is a surgical implant designed for spinal fusion, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Intended Use/Indications for Use:

The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. The GS Medical CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System is to be used with two titanium alloy screws which accompany the implant and does not require supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.

The intended use of the subject device and the predicates are identical.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS V.

The CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System cages are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of the disc while also providing biomechanical

stability with the addition on an integrated plate. This integrated plate allows for the user to bypass using an additional plate as seen with traditional ACIF spacers. The CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System devices consist of implants available in various heights and lordotic configurations with an open architecture to accept packing of bone graft material. The Subject device also contains supplementary fixation screw. The intervertebral body fusion devices are made of hydroxyapatite polyether-ether-ketone (HA PEEK OPTIMA LT1) body with a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) plate and X-ray (radioopaque) markers made of tantalum. The supplementary screws are made up of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).

VI. PERFORMANCE DATA

The worst-case cage construct of the CYGNUS-C ACIF Standalone System underwent testing according to ASTM 2077, specifically static and dynamic axial compression testing; shear static and dynamic compression; static and dynamic torsion testing; expulsion testing; and subsidence testing according to ASTM F2267. The results met all acceptance criteria, and the subject device cage is equivalent to additional predicate biomechanical performance.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY VII.

The biocompatibility of the subject implant body is based on the FDA's clearance of first additional predicate that contains bone contact materials made up of identical material (HA PEEK OPTIMA LT1) and same use as of subject device. And the biocompatibility of the plate and screw is based on the FDA's clearance of primary predicate that contains bone contact materials made up of identical material (Ti-6Al-4V) and same use as of subject device. The biocompatibility of the surgical instruments is based on the FDA's clearance of the first additional predicate that contains instruments made up of identical material and same use as of subject device.

VIII. CONCLUSION

The CYGNUS-C Standalone ACIF System has been found to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate with respect to technical characteristics, design, materials, and intended use. And to the first additional predicate with respect to performance. The technological differences between the subject device and the predicate do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
