The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal stabilization and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is used for temporary stabilization and fusion of the anterior spine in patients with various spinal conditions, directly treating a medical problem.
No
The device is described as an "Anterior Cervical Stabilization System" intended for temporary stabilization and assistance in healing during spine fusions, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes Titanium plates, screws, and instrumentation, which are physical hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
- Device Description: The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System is an implantable medical device used for surgical stabilization of the cervical spine. It is physically placed inside the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine." This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System (SSACSS) is intended for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine (C2-T1) during the development of cervical spine fusions in patients with degeneration disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions.
Warning: This device is not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

Device Description
The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System (SSACSS) is used as a temporary construct that assists in normal healing and is not intended to replace normal body structures. The system is implanted via an anterior approach to the cervical spine. The SSACSS includes various sizes of Titanium plates with or without Tissue Shields that may be used for One-Level, Two-Level, and Three-Level anterior cervical fusion procedures. There is a selection of Titanium screws and instrumentation for implantation. The implants and delivery instrumentation are provided Non-Sterile.

§ 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)

510(k) SUMMARY
Similarities and Differences to the Predicate Devices:
Similarities
The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System will include an additional set of plates that have Tissue Shields to cover the screws after implantation. These modified plates will have the same intended use as the predicate Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System plates and the material and performance specifications are the same The modified plates will also be manufactured for Southern Spine, LLC by the same manufacturer and will be supplied as a non-sterile system. The packaging and labeling (Instructions for Use, etc.) are similar except in the descriptions of specific use of the rotating Tissue Shields.
Differences
The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System will include a set of plates that have Tissue Shields that are rotated to cover the screws after implantation. These modified plates will have the same intended use as the predicate Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System plates and the material and performance specifications are the same.
The Tissue Shields allow the screws to subside during the healing process and results in a dynamic system rather than a static one. Because tissue is "blocked" from growing around the screws, the screws are allowed to subside in the screw channels of the plate, and allow further bone growth to occur. With the Tissue Shield, if tissues and structures were to get in the screw space, this subsidence is hindered. The Tissue Shield protects tissue and structures (tendons, ligaments, nerves, etc) from prolapsing into the screw space. The Tissue Shield maximizes the freedom of movement for bone growth/fusion to occur.
These modifications do not affect the safety or efficacy of the Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System. The labeling reflects the changes.
Summary of Testing:
The Southern Spine Anterior Cervical Stabilization System has the same indications for use, principles of operation, and mechanical characteristics as the predicate devices that were previously cleared for market under 510(k) # K021979. These conclusions were verified in performance / bench testing as summarized within the 510(k).

Dear Ms. Stephens:
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.
