Intended Use
The BridgePoint™ Spinous Process Clamp System is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device, intended for use in non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous process for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); and/or tumor. It is not intended for stand alone use.
Device Description
The BridgePoint™ Spinous Process Clamp- Posterior Fixation System is an implantable device that clamps bilaterally to the spinous processes. It is a multi-component device consisting of two sets of plates. Each set is composed of a male and female plate. Two sets are coupled by two rigid posts that connect and pivot at the midline. The plates have a male and female component which slide and result in a variable plate length. These sliding plates are locked by a lateral set screw.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implantable device for spinal fixation 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 "supplemental fixation device" intended for "achieving supplemental fusion" in various spinal conditions, indicating its use in treating medical conditions.

No

Explanation: The device is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for surgical use to achieve supplemental fusion in specific spinal conditions. It is an implantable device that clamps bilaterally to the spinous processes and is used for treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implantable device" and a "multi-component device consisting of two sets of plates," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the BridgePoint™ Spinous Process Clamp System is an implantable device that clamps to the spinous processes of the spine. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and fixation.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes its application in spinal surgery for conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, and tumor. This is a therapeutic and structural application, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the BridgePoint™ Spinous Process Clamp System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
