Intended Use
Synthes Anterior Cervical Compression System is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for the following indications: Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis, trauma (including fractures), spinal stenosis and tumors (primary and metastatic), failed previous fusions, pseudoarthrosis, and deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis).
Device Description
The Synthes Anterior Cervical Compression System consists of plates with cortical and cancellous screws. The plate attaches to the anterior portion of the vertebral body of the cervical spine (levels C2-C7). The implants of these systems are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6A1-7Nb) and Elgiloy (40Co-20Cr-16Fe-15Ni-7Mo).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists several medical conditions (e.g., Degenerative Disc Disease, trauma, tumors) for which the device is intended to treat or manage, which is characteristic of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an anterior screw fixation system for the cervical spine, used for treatment of various conditions. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of plates and screws made from Titanium Alloy and Elgiloy, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body.
  • Device Description: The Synthes Anterior Cervical Compression System is a system of plates and screws designed for surgical implantation into the cervical spine. It is used inside the body to provide structural support and fixation.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine for various conditions. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Synthes Anterior Cervical Compression System 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.
