Intended Use
The Trinica and Trinica® Select Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine at level C2-T1. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis and/or failed previous fusions. WARNING: These devices are not approved for screw attachment to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Trinica® and Trinica® Select Anterior Cervical Plate Systems both consist of cervical plates, locking caps, bone screws, and the instruments necessary to implant the specific system. All implant components are made from a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Both, the Trinica® Select Anterior Cervical Plate Systems, are intended to provide stabilization of the cervical vertebra for various indications (see below). The fixation construct consists of a cervical plate that is attached to the vertebral body of the cervical spine with self-tapping and/or self-drilling bone screws using an anterior surgical approach. Bone screws are available for fixed angle or variable angle implantation. The Trinica® and Trinica® Select Anterior Cervical Plate Systems are provided non-sterile, are for single use only and are intended to be removed after solid fusion has occurred. The only difference between the two systems is the Trinica® Select system has smaller width cervical plates to accommodate smaller anatomical structures. The locking cap for the Trinica® Select system required a reduction to diameter and height to accommodate reduced lateral profile cervical plate.
More Information

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

Yes.
The device is described as "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions" and is used to treat various medical conditions such as "degenerative disc disease, trauma, tumors, deformity, pseudoarthrosis and/or failed previous fusions," which makes it a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a system of cervical plates, screws, and instruments intended for orthopedic fixation in the spine. It is used to stabilize the spine during fusion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical components like cervical plates, locking caps, bone screws, and instruments, all made from titanium alloy. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine at level C2-T1" 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 description details physical components like "cervical plates, locking caps, bone screws, and the instruments necessary to implant the specific system." These are all physical devices used in a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings for testing purposes.

The device described is a surgical implant, which falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
