Used in open, anterior cervical spine surgery; requires supplemental spinal fixation. Implanted by orthopedic or neurosurgeons to facilitate fusion in patients with discogenic neck pain. Provides structural support to vertebral space during bone healing; benefits patient by stabilizing segment and promoting fusion. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077-11 (static/dynamic compression and torsion) and ASTM F2267-04 (subsidence and expulsion). Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 and GLP regulations. Sterilization validation per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1/2. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Medical grade Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). Form: Rectangular cage with 4-degree lordotic profile, hollow cylindrical fenestration. Dimensions: Two cross-sectional sizes, various heights. Sterilization: ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1/2 (SAL 10^-6). Mechanical standards: ASTM F2077-11, ASTM F2267-04. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Nubic and Rabea Device ([K082848](/device/K082848.md)) - Rhausler Plage Anterior Cervical Fusion System ([K111272](/device/K111272.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Fusion device with bone graft, cervical.
Other predicate device: The Rhausler Plage Anterior Cervical
Fusion System (K111272) | | Device Description: | The Rhausler RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage System is a
cervical intervertebral body fusion device. The system is comprised
of implants and instruments. The instruments are utilized for the
implantation procedure. All implants are manufactured from
medical grade Titanium alloy (Ti6 Al 4V).
The implant is rectangular in shape with lordotic configuration, i.e.,
with 4 degree profiles. It is offered in two cross sectional sizes and
is available in various height options to accommodate variations in
patient anatomy. The center of the implant has a hollow cylindrical
shape fenestration for placement of autogenous bone. Trabeculite
Titanium Cervical Cage implant is provided sterile. | | Indications For Use: | The Rhausler RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage System is
intended for spinal fusion procedures at one level (C3-T1) in
skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (defined as
neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc
confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Implants are to be | {4}------------------------------------------------ | | implanted via an open, anterior approach and packed with autogenous bone.

Comparison to Predicate
Device: | The Rhausler RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage System is equivalent to the predicate devices. Both are intervertebral body fusion devices that attach to the anterior portion of the cervical spine during the development of spinal fusion. Additionally, both use the same fundamental scientific technology, principle of operation, and materials. Performance test results confirm that design differences do not pose new issues of safety or effectiveness. | | Performance Testing: | Mechanical testing has been performed on the RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage System in accordance to the FDA recommendation entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device", which included Compression tests (Static and Dynamic) and Torsion tests (Static and Dynamic) per ASTM F2077-11, Subsidence testing per ASTM F2267-04 and Expulsion test. The results of testing and analyses conducted, demonstrate that the proposed system adequately meets the predetermined requirements established for its mechanical performance. | | | Biocompatibility tests for the RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage were selected in accordance with blue book memorandum G95-1 entitled Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing". Biocompatibility tests were conducted in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations set forth in 21 CFR 58. All tests conducted passed biocompatibility requirements. | | | Sterilization validation of the RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage implant is to be based on the requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1:2006 (R) 2010 and 11137-2:2013 with a minimum Sterility Assurance Level of 1X10-6 | | Conclusion: | Based upon the design, technology, performance, and intended use, the Rhausler RT2 Trabeculite Titanium Cervical Cage System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device/s currently marketed under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. | --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/ODP/K150455](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/ODP/K150455) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
