Intended Use
The Cervical Spine Truss System (CSTS) Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) of the cervical spine at one level or two contiguous disc levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. CSTS Interbody Fusion Devices are used as an adjunct to fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C2 to T 1 disc levels using autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Patients should have received 6 weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. If the device is being used without the CSTS Integrated Plate. supplemental fixation must be used.
Device Description
The device is an open architecture truss design mathematically formulated to provide structural support with open space throughout the implant for bone through growth and fusion. The 4WEB additive manufacturing process provides a hierarchical surface roughness. The implant is made from Ti6Al4V alloy. The device is available in a variety of heights, footprints, and lordotic angles. The CSTS Integrated Plates come in multiple heights to accommodate the patient's anatomy. Screws are inserted through the anterior portion of the Integrated Plates into adjacent vertebral bodies for bony fixation. The Integrated Plates have a rotating locking tab to prevent back-out of the screws.
More Information

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

Yes
The device is indicated for use in conjunction with surgery to treat Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) of the cervical spine, which is a medical condition.

No

The device is an interbody fusion device, indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in the cervical spine for patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). It is a surgically implanted device designed to provide structural support and promote bone growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made from Ti6Al4V alloy, available in various sizes, and includes integrated plates and screws for fixation. This indicates a hardware medical device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is an "Interbody Fusion Device" designed to be surgically implanted into the cervical spine. It's a physical implant used to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating Degenerative Disc Disease by providing support and promoting fusion in the cervical spine. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the Cervical Spine Truss System (CSTS) Interbody Fusion Device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing has been completed per the following standards:

  • ASTM F2077 Static Axial compression
  • ASTM F2077 – Static Compression Shear
  • ASTM F2077 Static Torsion
  • ASTM F2077 – Dynamic Axial Compression (With and Without the Integrated Plate)
  • ASTM F2077 – Dynamic Compression Shear (With and Without the Integrated Plate)
  • ASTM F2077 - Dynamic Torsion (With and Without the Integrated Plate)
  • Screw Pushout Testing
  • Expulsion Testing per accepted industry standard

Validated finite element analysis demonstrated that the worst case CSTS device for each endplate geometry is not a new worst case compared to the previously tested CSTS devices within the 4WEB portfolio.

MR Conditional Testing has been completed on the primary predicate device, the 4WEB Cervical Spine Truss System (K221266) and the reference predicate device, the Lateral Spine Truss System Plating Solution (K203065) to the following standards:

  • ASTM F2119 — MR Image Artifact
  • ASTM F2182 – MR induced Heating
  • ASTM F2213 MR Induced Torque
  • ASTM F2051 – MR Induced Displacement Force

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the CSTS interbody and CSTS Interbody with an Integrated Plate is sufficient for its use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

  • Expulsion Testing per accepted industry standard

Validated finite element analysis demonstrated that the worst case CSTS device for each endplate geometry is not a new worst case compared to the previously tested CSTS devices within the 4WEB portfolio.

MR Conditional Testing has been completed on the primary predicate device, the 4WEB Cervical Spine Truss System (K221266) and the reference predicate device, the Lateral Spine Truss System Plating Solution (K203065) to the following standards:

  • . ASTM F2119 — MR Image Artifact
  • ASTM F2182 – MR induced Heating
  • ASTM F2213 MR Induced Torque ●
  • . ASTM F2051 – MR Induced Displacement Force

The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the CSTS interbody and CSTS Interbody with an Integrated Plate is sufficient for its use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics:

4WEB, Inc. has compared these devices to the previously cleared predicate devices in regard to indications for use, materials, function, sizes and simulated testing. These comparisons demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

5

4WEB, Inc. concludes that the CSTS devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
