Intended Use
The SC-AcuFix Ant-Cer Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in the cervical spine (C2-C7) during the development of solid spinal fusion in patients with instability caused by the following: 1. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) - 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. Tumor; 4. Spondylolisthesis; 5. Spinal stenosis; 6. Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis); 7. Pseudarthrosis; and 8. Failed previous fusions.
Device Description
The SC-AcuFix Ant-Cer Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of bone plates, screws, and instrumentation intended for anterior fixation to the cervical spine. The plate system incorporates a mechanism that allows for uni-axial motion in compression to ensure postoperative load sharing between the plate and the graft.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components for spinal fixation, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, data analysis, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is indicated for conditions such as degenerative disc disease, trauma, tumor, and spinal stenosis, which are medical conditions that it aims to treat or manage.

No
The device description clearly states it is a "plate system" and "consists of bone plates, screws, and instrumentation intended for anterior fixation to the cervical spine." Its stated use is for the development of solid spinal fusion, indicating it is an implanted medical device for treatment, not diagnosis. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists conditions that lead to instability requiring such fixation, but the device itself does not diagnose these conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "bone plates, screws, and instrumentation," which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for stabilizing the cervical spine during fusion. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details bone plates, screws, and instrumentation for surgical fixation. This aligns with a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions through in vitro methods, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a physical implant used to provide structural support and facilitate fusion.

§ 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.
