No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for spinal fusion and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "Anterior Buttress Plate" intended for "spinal fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allografts or autografts," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is a surgical implant designed to maintain the position of bone grafts in spinal fusion procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Ti plate fixed by a vertebral body screw" and a "PEEK buttress," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a plate and screw system intended for use in spinal fusion procedures to maintain the position of bone grafts. This is a surgical implant used within the body, not a device used to test samples outside the body.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not an IVD.

§ 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.
