Intended Use
The EBI VueLock™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine. The System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions.
Device Description
The EBI VueLock™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a cervical spinal fixation device of plates and screws. The plates contain a locking ring mechanism, which locks the screws into place. The plates are designed to span between one and four levels, and are manufactured from titanium. This submission is for the addition of Self Drilling Screws to the System.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical spinal fixation device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a 'cervical spinal fixation device' intended for 'temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions' for various medical conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: This device is an anterior cervical plate system used for temporary stabilization and fixation of the cervical spine during fusions. It is an implantable medical device, not a diagnostic tool used to identify or determine a disease, condition, or injury.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a system of plates and screws, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body for structural support and stabilization.
  • Device Description: The description details "plates and screws" made of titanium, designed to be implanted in the spine. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical implant used for mechanical support and stabilization within the body.

§ 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.
