Intended Use
The C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame, in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation, is intended for use in cervical fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allograft or auto grafts. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.
Device Description
The C-JAWS implant is a single component system of anterior cervical anchoring. The staple is uniquely shaped to conform to the anatomy of the anterior spine. It features two notched arms, which engage the vertebral bodies and works by plastic deformation of the implant's body. The staples are available in multiple sizes the C-JAWS implant is manufactured from CP titanium and has a smooth anodized finish. The purpose of this submission is to add additional sizes to the C-JAWS implant range: height of 12.5, 17.5 and 22.5mm and arm lengths of 10, 12, 14 and 17mm. In addition, radii (R=0.2mm) have been added to the extremity of both legs to reduce the sharpness of the tips of the C-JAWS legs. The modification is effective on the new submitted C-JAWS implants and has been applied to the K062181 cleared implants. Additional instruments are also added.

K/DEN: Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and dimensions of a physical implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a non-load-bearing implant intended to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue in cervical fusion procedures, which classifies it as a surgical instrument or implant rather than a therapeutic device in a broader sense that would imply active treatment of a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an implant used in cervical fusion procedures to maintain the position of bony tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is an implant manufactured from CP titanium, which is a hardware component.

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 use in cervical fusion procedures to maintain the position of bony tissue. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (a staple) made of titanium, designed to be surgically placed in the spine.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is a surgical implant used in vivo.

§ 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.
