Intended Use
The CODMAN SLIM-LOC™ System is a permanent implant, generally indicated for short-term stabilization of the cervical spine from C2 to C7 employing screw fixation at the anterior face of the vertebral bodies. This product may be employed as an internal fixation device during the time interval required for arthrodesis. Specific clinical indications for anterior plating include: Instability caused by trauma; Instability associated with correction of cervical lordosis and kyphosis deformity; Instability associated with pseudoarthrosis as a result of previously failed cervical spine surgery; Instability associated with major reconstructive surgery for primary tumors or metastatic malignant tumors of the cervical spine; Instability associated with single or multiple level corpectomy in advanced degenerative disk disease, spinal canal stenosis, and cervical myelopathy.
Device Description
The CODMAN SLIM-LOC™ System consists of an assortment of implantable titanium alloy plates and screws. The plates have an integrated screw locking mechanism to prevent screw back out. A variety of cancellous screw types are provided for surgical convenience.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical implant system for spinal stabilization, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or related data analysis.

Yes
The device is an implantable system used for stabilization of the cervical spine to treat various conditions like instability and deformity, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an implantable system for stabilization of the cervical spine, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of implantable titanium alloy plates and screws, which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the CODMAN SLIM-LOC™ System is a "permanent implant" used for "short-term stabilization of the cervical spine." This describes a device that is surgically implanted into the body to provide structural support.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "implantable titanium alloy plates and screws." This further confirms it is a physical implant.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) 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. This device does not perform any such tests.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used for internal fixation, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

The CODMAN SLIM-LOC™ System's plates and screws are permanent implants, indicated for stabilization of the cervical spine from C2 to C7 employing unicortical screw fixation at the anterior face of the vertebral bodies. This product may be employed as an internal fixation device during the time interval required for arthrodesis.

Specific clinical indications for anterior plating include:
Instability caused by trauma;
Instability associated with correction of cervical lordosis and kyphosis deformity;
Instability associated with pseudoarthrosis as a result of previously failed cervical spine surgery;
Instability associated with major reconstructive surgery for primary tumors or metastatic malignant tumors of the cervical spine;
Instability associated with single or multiple level corpectomy in advanced degenerative disk disease, spinal canal stenosis, and cervical myelopathy.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
