Intended Use
The Pioneer Aspect Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior cervical fixation (C2-C7) for the following indications: 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, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
Device Description
The Pioneer Aspect Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of an assortment of plates and screws. The screws are used to secure the plates to the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine through an anterior approach. The system consists of static plates in lengths that range from 10-105mm and include one, two, three, four, and five level designs. The plates have an integrated screw retention mechanism. The system includes fixed/variable self-tapping and self-drilling screws in 04.0 or 04.5mm, ranging from 10-20mm in length.

The summary describes a mechanical implant system (plates and screws) and its intended use and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No.

The device is an anterior cervical plate system used for spinal fixation (C2-C7) in various conditions like degenerative disc disease, trauma, and deformities, aiming to stabilize the spine rather than directly treating a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.

No
This device is a surgical implant designed for anterior cervical fixation, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is to stabilize the spine after a diagnosis has already been made.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "an assortment of plates and screws," which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "anterior cervical fixation (C2-C7)" for various spinal conditions. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to stabilize the spine.
  • Device Description: The description details plates and screws used to secure them to vertebral bodies. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests.

The information provided describes a surgical implant for spinal fixation.

Summary of Performance Studies

For a determination of substantial equivalence, non-clinical mechanical tests including ASTM F1717 dynamic and static compression bending and torsion static testing were completed. In addition, ASTM F543 screw pull-out testing and testing per internal protocols to assess screw pull through and retention characteristics were performed. Performance testing showed that the mechanical strength of the subject system is equivalent to or better than predicate devices and is therefore sufficient for the intended use.

§ 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.
