Intended Use
The SIMPLEX Cervical Fixation System is intended for anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine. Indications for use include: - degenerative disc disease (ddd) defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. - spondylolisthesis - trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation) . - spinal stenosis - deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or fordosis) - tumor - pseudoarthrosis - failed previous fusion 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 SIMPLEX Cervical Fixation System consists of plates and is used to build a spinal construct. The purpose of the SIMPLEX Cervical Fixation System is to provide stabilization during the development of a solid spinal fusion. The system is available in a variety of sizes. Ease of intra-operative handling is enhanced by pre-contouring the plates in two directions to facilitate adaptation to the patient's anatomy and self-tapping uni-cortical screws, which shorten operating time. The screws are available in five lengths. The self-tapping thread of the screws eliminates the need for preliminary tapping.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended use of a spinal fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as providing "stabilization during the development of a solid spinal fusion," which is a therapeutic intervention for various spinal conditions listed in the indications for use.

No

The SIMPLEX Cervical Fixation System is described as a device used for anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine to provide stabilization during spinal fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the system consists of "plates and is used to build a spinal construct," which are physical 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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The SIMPLEX Cervical Fixation System is a system of plates and screws designed for surgical implantation to stabilize the cervical spine. It is a physical implant used in the body, not a device used to test samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine to treat various spinal conditions. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided clearly describes 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.
