Intended Use
Properly used, this system is intended for anterior interbody screw/plate fixation of the cervical spine. The indications and contraindications of spinal instrumentation systems should be well understood by the surgeon. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with: 1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), 2) trauma (including fractures), 3) tumors, 4) deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), 5) pseudarthrosis, and/or 6) failed previous fusions. Nota Bene: This device system is intended for anterior cervical intervertebral body fusions only. WARNING: This device is not approved for screw attachment to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
Device Description
The ZEPHIR™ Anterior Cervical System consists of a variety of bone plates and screws. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The ZEPHIR™ Plates include anti-migration caps that cover the heads of the bone screws to reduce the potential for screw back-out. The anti-migration caps come pre-assembled to the plate. The purpose of this submission is to add additional screws to the Zephir™ Anterior Cervical System.

No
The document describes a mechanical spinal fixation system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions," which is a therapeutic intervention for various spinal conditions.

No
The device is described as an Anterior Cervical System consisting of bone plates and screws for stabilization during spinal fusions, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "a variety of bone plates and screws," which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that this system is for "anterior interbody screw/plate fixation of the cervical spine" and is used for "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "a variety of bone plates and screws" designed for insertion into vertebral bodies. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens outside the body.

Therefore, this device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
