Intended Use
The VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spine fusions in patients with 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), pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions. The SSP™ Cervical Plate System can be implanted in the sub-axial cervical spine from C3 through C7 levels.
Device Description
The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is comprised of non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components, The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping, self drilling or rigid cervical screws. This system's design is intended to stabilize the spinal operative site during the fusion process of a bone graft in the disc space. This submission adds a rigid cervical screw.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a Cervical Plate System intended for anterior interbody fixation and temporary stabilization of the cervical spine during fusion for various conditions like degenerative disc disease, trauma, and tumors, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is described as an implantable device intended for temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during fusion, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior interbody fixation and temporary stabilization of the cervical spine during fusion. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of titanium alloy components (plates and screws) that attach to the vertebral body. This is a physical implant.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is an in vivo (in the living body) surgical implant.

§ 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.
