Intended Use
The Quintex Cervical Plating System is intended for the immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion in patients with: - . Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), - Spondylolisthesis, - Trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation), ● - Spinal Stenosis, - . Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), - . Tumors. - Pseudoarthrosis as a result of failed spine surgery, - Failed previous fusions, . - Symptomatic cervical spondylosis - . Instability following surgery for the above indications. Levels of anterior cervical intervertebral body screw fixation for this indication are from C2-T1. Warning: This device is not approved or intended for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Aesculap Implant Systems (AIS) Quintex Cervical Plating System consists of dynamic and semi-constrained plate, screws and associated instruments. Fixation is provided by bone screws inserted into the vertebral body of the cervical spine using an anterior approach. The AIS 3G Cervical Plating System is manufactured from Titanium/ Titanium Alloy and will be provided non-sterile.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and comparison to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is intended for the immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion in patients with various spinal conditions, indicating its use in treating medical conditions.

No

Explanation: The device is a cervical plating system used for immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion, treating various spinal conditions. It is a surgical implant system, not a device used to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "dynamic and semi-constrained plate, screws and associated instruments" manufactured from "Titanium/ Titanium Alloy," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Quintex Cervical Plating System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusion." This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "dynamic and semi-constrained plate, screws and associated instruments" made of Titanium/Titanium Alloy. This is a physical implant.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is intended for the "cervical spine; C2-T1," which is a part of the human anatomy.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The Quintex Cervical Plating System does not perform this function.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, which is a completely different category of medical device than 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.
