Indications for Use
SCARLET® AC-T cages are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage. SCARLET® AC-T cages are intended to be used at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc to facilitate intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The SCARLET® AC-T Secured Anterior Cervical Cage is intended to be used as a standalone system used with the two bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. When used without the two bone screws, SCARLET AC-T cages are to be used with supplemental fixation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine.
Device Story
SCARLET® AC-T is a box-shaped intervertebral body fusion cage; central cavity holds bone graft (autogenous or allogenic) to facilitate fusion. Device features convex or lordotic profiles; available in multiple footprints/heights to accommodate patient anatomy. Used in cervical spine (C2-T1) for degenerative disc disease. Operates as standalone system with two integrated bone screws or as a cage requiring supplemental fixation. Implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures. Provides structural support to intervertebral space; promotes fusion; stabilizes spinal segment. Benefits patients by addressing discogenic pain through stabilization and fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance, including static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic shear compression, static torsion (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing. Results demonstrate performance equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI (ISO 5832.3, ASTM F136). Form factor: Box-shaped spacer with central cavity, convex or lordotic profiles. Sterilization: Gamma radiation. Endotoxin limit: 20 EU/device (USP standard).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (discogenic neck pain) at one level (C2-C3 to C7-T1) who have failed at least 6 weeks of non-operative treatment.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.
