Intended Use
The Slimplicity Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine from C2 to T1 during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (including fractures or dislocations); spinal tumors; spinal stenosis; pseudarthrosis; and failed previous fusions. WARNING: This device is not approved for screw attachment to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Slimplicity Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of various sizes of anterior cervical bone plates, locking rivets pre-assembled, and bone screws, which can be assembled with associated instruments to provide immobilization of the cervical spine. All components are made from medical grade titanium or titanium alloy described by such standards as ASTM F136 or ISO5832-3. The products are supplied clean and "NON-STERILE".
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical stabilization and do not mention any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML. The performance studies compare mechanical properties to predicate devices.

Yes.
The device is used for temporary stabilization of the anterior spine to facilitate spinal fusions in patients with various spinal conditions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is an implantable system (plates, screws, rivets) used for the stabilization of the anterior spine; it does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components made from titanium or titanium alloy, including bone plates, locking rivets, bone screws, and associated instruments. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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 the "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 description details physical components like bone plates, locking rivets, and bone screws made from titanium. These are physical devices implanted during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. IVDs are typically used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the Slimplicity Anterior Cervical Plate 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.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
