Intended Use
The SEEplate Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior screw fixation at the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine (C2-C7). The SEEplate Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain in discogenic origin of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, deformity (defined as kyphosis, and scoliosis), trauma (including fractures), tumors, pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions. This device is not approved for screw attachment to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. The device is intended for anterior cervical intervertebral body fusions only.
Device Description
The SEEplate Cervical Plate System is comprised of an assortment of titanium alloy plates and screws that act to stabilize the spine during the intervertebral fusion process. The SEEplate Cervical Plate System is manufactured from wrought Ti-6Al-4V in accordance with ISO 5832-3.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant (cervical plate system) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as stabilizing the spine during the intervertebral fusion process, indicated for temporary stabilization and treatment of various spinal conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, trauma, and tumors. These are therapeutic actions aimed at treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is a cervical plate system intended for temporary stabilization during spinal fusions, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of titanium alloy plates and screws, which are hardware components, not software.

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 "anterior screw fixation at the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine (C2-C7)" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "an assortment of titanium alloy plates and screws." These are physical implants.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or components.

Therefore, the SEEplate Cervical Plate System is 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.

Dear Mr. Herder:

Re:

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.
