Intended Use
The Modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical soins fue tempor patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic shudies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordnois, ar scoliosis), pseudoarthriosis, and/or failed previous fusions. The SSP™ Cervical Plate System can be implanted in the sub-axial cervical spine from C3 through C7 levels.
Device Description
The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is comprised of non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components. The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping and self drilling cervical screws. This system's design is intended to stabilize the spinal operative site during the fusion process of a bone graft in the disc space. This submission adds a reduced stature cervical plate.
More Information

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

Yes

The device is intended for temporary stabilization during degenerative disc disease, trauma, tumors, deformity, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusions, all of which are medical conditions that the device aims to treat or mitigate.

No

The device is a cervical plate system for stabilization during spinal fusion, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of "non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components" and "attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping and self drilling cervical screws," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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 fixation of the cervical spine" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical soins fue tempor patients with degenerative disc disease... trauma... tumors... deformity... pseudoarthriosis, and/or failed previous fusions." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support and stabilization.
  • Device Description: The description details "non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components" that "attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping and self drilling cervical screws." This further confirms it's a physical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is implanted directly into 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.

COMMON NAME: Cervical Plating System

PROPRIETARY NAME: VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System

PREDICATE DEVICES: VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System - K051815

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is comprised of non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components. The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping and self drilling cervical screws. This system's design is intended to stabilize the spinal operative site during the fusion process of a bone graft in the disc space. This submission adds a reduced stature cervical plate.

INTENDED USE: The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed bv history and radiographic studies): spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non cervical pedicle fixation for for the following indications: spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.
