Intended Use
The VIP™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine C2-C7 for the following indications: degenerative 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), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusion, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.
Device Description
The VIP™ Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of plates of various lengths to be used with either variable angle screws or fixed angle screws. Each VIP plate attaches to the anterior portion of the vertebral body of the cervical spine (levels C2-C7). VIP™ implants are composed of titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136, F1295.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical implant for spinal fixation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities. The performance studies are mechanical testing, not related to algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is described as "Anterior Cervical Plate System" intended for "anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine C2-C7" for various medical conditions like "degenerative disc disease", "trauma", "tumors", etc., which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device, VIP™ Anterior Cervical Plate System, is an implantable medical device for anterior screw fixation in the cervical spine. Its intended use is for treatment of various spinal conditions, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of plates and screws made of titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The VIP™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a surgical implant designed for fixation to the cervical spine. It is a physical device implanted in the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the surgical application of the device for treating various spinal conditions. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the VIP™ Anterior Cervical Plate System falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Baker:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050,
