The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a titanium plating system for spinal fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
Explanation: The device is an implantable surgical system (plate, screws) used for fixation of the cervical spine, not a device that directly treats or provides therapy.
No
This device is a surgical implant (an anterior cervical plating system) used for fixation to the cervical spine, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use components" made of "titanium alloy" including "screws, plates and associated instrumentation," which are physical hardware components.
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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The Blackstone™ III° Anterior Cervical Plating System is described as a "titanium alloy; multiple component system comprised of a variety of non-sterile, single use components" that are "attached to the anterior aspect of the vertebral body by means of screws to the cervical spine." This clearly indicates a surgical implant used within the body for structural support and fixation.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "anterior fixation to the cervical spine from C2 to C7" for various conditions. This is a therapeutic and structural purpose, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing samples.
The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
