Intended Use
The Cimplicity Spinal Fixation System is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. Cervical disc disease is defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation on posterior vertebral endplates producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression confirmed by radiographic studies. Cimplicity implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. Patients should have at least six weeks of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The Cimplicity system is a rectangular interbody fusion device. The device is hollow and may be filled with graft material. Various sizes are provided to accommodate patient anatomy. Cimplicity is made from PEEK and has tantalum beads used for radiographic visualization.

The summary describes a physical implant (interbody fusion device) and its intended use, material, and mechanical properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes.
The device is used to treat cervical disc disease and aids in spinal fusion, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is an implant for spinal fusion and does not perform diagnostic functions. It is used to treat cervical disc disease, not to diagnose it.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "rectangular interbody fusion device" made from PEEK with tantalum beads, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Cimplicity Spinal Fixation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The Cimplicity system is an implantable device used in surgery to fuse vertebrae. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • The intended use describes a surgical procedure. The description clearly outlines a surgical intervention for cervical disc disease.
  • The device description is of a physical implant. It describes a rectangular interbody fusion device made of PEEK with tantalum beads.

The information provided aligns with a medical device used for surgical treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.

(a)
Identification. An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
